What if you came across this advertisement in a local chapter’s newsletter or national magazine: “H ELP
WANTED: Executives, Good Pay, and
Fringe
Benefits.
Applicants
must
thrive on competition and pressure,
enjoy wrestling with sticky problems
that affect subordinates’ egos and careers. Position requires plenty of time
away from family”.
You’d probably think that’s not a
very good way to attract applicants.
\et the Ad summarizes several features
of a Golf Course Superintendents job,
and there’s no shortage of people ready
to try their hand. If you think you’d
enjoy being a Superintendent read the
Ad again. Then give some thought to
these points. A promotion to a Supervisory position is a tangible vote of
confidence in your ability. It’s a sign
that you’re doing well at your job,
that you’re a success. So it’s only na­
tural to accept promotion gladly and
even pursue them consciously.
There’s the rub. The promise of
more money and the lure of power and
status can make you jump at the
chance to be a Superintendent without
stopping to think about what is really
means. As a result you bite off more
than you’d like to chew and wind up
miserable in a job you looked forward
to with relish.
A successful Superintendent needs
more than superior knowledge and ex­
perience in his particular line of work,
though he certainly benefits from those
to be happy at the job, he should be
equipped also with the mental attitudes
that make for survival in the upper
echelons. The pressures a Superinten­
dent must face can sap the health of
anyone not equipped to handle them.

THE GRASSCATCHER

NATIONAL AFFAIRS

by B ob Osterman
Well, here we are again, at the start
of a new season. First, I would like
welcome everyone back to Connecticut.
During the winter, Connecticut Super­
intendents were spread across this
great country of ours as well as Mexico,
Hawaii, Europe and other places I
will not mention for fear of getting
someone in trouble.
The Conn. Association was well rep­
resented in Anaheim. Those who I ran
across were: Ed Anderson, Fred Bachard, Roger Barrett, of course Charlie
Baskin, Dick Bator, Ed Bedus, Joe Bidwell, Bob Chalifour, Bob Clark, Dick
Cooke, Tom Grywalski, A1 Hawkins,
Dick Hoskings, Bob Kennedy, Lee K o­
walski, Frank Lamphier, Russ LeClair,
Mark Loper, Jim MacDonald, John
Perry, Dave Roule, Dale Sandin, Bob
Scully, Bob Silva, Dave Stimson, Curt
Stimson, Bob Tosh, Bob Viera, Fred
Zeytoonjian.
I am sure there were more whom
I didn’t see for one reason or another.
Most conferences and vacations are
behind us now for this year and it’s
time to get back to W O R K !!! I hope
we all have a good season (it’s got to
be better than last year) and I look
forward to visiting the courses we have
scheduled for our monthly meetings.

After all that happened at the Na­
tional Conference, my 1st thought is,
“where do I start” ? The most logical
choice would be with Connecticut’s own
Charles Baskin. Congratulations on a
fine choice for National President.
Charlie, from the C. C. of Waterbury,
was our 1st. ever director from Con­
necticut and now, of course, our 1st.
President. Our membership is indeed
proud of Charlie. Thanks go out to all
the delegates and associations who par­
ticipated in your endeavor.
Other results and congratulations go
out to Palmer Maples, Jr. of Georgia,
our new Vice President, Mel Lucas of
Long Island, Charles Tadge of Ohio,
and for a 2nd term as director, Ted
Woerhle of Michigan. May you all
have successful terms on our National
Board.
The annual G.C.S.A.A. Golf Cham­
pionship was held prior to the con­
ference and show in Anaheim Over 200
participants played 36 holes on the
Mile Square Golf Course and the Yorba
Linda C.C. The Conn, team of “Steady”
Eddie Bedus of Indian Hill, Dick Cook
of Black Hall, Leon Kowalski, Sr. of
the C. C. of Fairfield, and Frank Lam­
phier of Aspetuck Valley successfully
defended the team championship won
the previous year. Lee has to be classi­
fied as th “hero” of the year, placing
3rd. in the individual, and but for a
missed 10” putt, would have been in
the playoff for the National Champion­
ship. Lee won our Conn. Championship
in a playoff last season. The Cham­
pionship was won by Ennio Latini of
Long Island on the 1st. hole of sudden
death over Ed Newton of Texas.
Lee just couldn’t go out and play
well, he had to pull the spectacular,
registering the 1st. hole in one ever in
National competition, on the 6th. hole

Harry Meusel would like to announce
anyone, wishing to see the floral dis­
play at the Yale Golf Course, should
come the second and third week in
May. You may play golf anytime dur­
ing the week and after 2 p.m. on weekends. Please show your Conn, or Na­
tional Association card at the club­
house.
Having seen slides of Harry’s course
during the spring display, I urge every­
one, if you get a chance, stop by Yale

SO YOU THINK YOU WANT TO
BE A GOLF COURSE SUPT.
(Continued from Page 1)

How well would you be able to cope
with the forces at work.
The closer you get to the top of your
profession the fewer the positions avail­
able and the tougher the competition
for them. Once in a supervisory posi­
tion your performance is subject to
constant scrutiny and comment by
those above and below. Eventually,
some member of the Greens Committee
is likely to feel that another person
could do a better job, and there’s al­
ways someone waiting to take your
place.
Most people avoid conflicts and prob­
lems if they can, not the Superinten­
dent. A big part of his job is to track
them down, face them, prescribe solu­
tions. Problems involving members, co­
workers, subordinates’ home lives, all
these and many more have a way of
ending up at the Superintendents desk.
If he ignores them, they can pile up to
the point where they can seriously un­
dermine the course and organization.
Overall then, getting people to work
together smoothly is at the core of the
job. He needs a nose for trouble and
the ability to handle it without making
a bad situation worse. Tact, under­
standing, discretion are traits he can’t
do without.
It’s no news that Superintendents
as a rule can expect to put in longer
hours then foremen or even assistants.
In addition to day to day matters com­
peting for their immediate attention,
they have other responsibilities — plan­
ning, analyzing new products, prepar­
ing reports, keeping up with develop­
ments in the field. Many of these tasks
require long days on the course and in
the office, and overtime may be taken
for granted.
A Superintendent spends as much
time on the job as necessary to fulfill
his obligations to the people he works
for and the people who work for him.
He gets paid for results, not fo r eight
hours a day.
Even with all that, the demands on
his time don’t stop when he leaves the
course. He may be expected to make
businss a part of his social life too.
Business oriented dinner meetings,
conferences and seminars can cut
mightily into truly personal time.
Some Superintendents have been on
the job for many years, sometimes
starting on a course as a laborer and
working his way up. The assumption
was that years of loyal service, plus
experience and knowledge gained in
climbing the ladder rung by rung,
made for the best Superintendent’s.

That’s still a traveled route, loyalty
to an organization and its mission is
still praised. But a different kind of
superintendent has also attracted attentention lately. These are what I call
“Mobile Superintendent’s”. They spend
enough time on one course to master
the job, then begin casting about for a
better job or one with more challenges
somewhere else.
One of these “Mobile Superinten­
dents” explained his thinking this
way: “The key idea is the fact that
most courses can be mastered in a few
years, bring them, to what he thinks
is the courses peak condition, and from
then on the Superintendent is doing the
work with a minimum of effort. He i
knows the job “out of his back pocket”. ,
However if then he moves to another
job, masters it’s requirements and then
is moved to still a other job, he can get
more intensive training and develop­
ment than the previous Superintendent
who usually stayed in one jo b long 1
after he had brought the course to
what he considers its peak.
I really can’t say I agree with that !
theory because everytime I turn around
new problems seem to pop up. For both,
there likely will come a time to pause f
and weigh the alternatives. They ask,
or should ask, “will the next step bring
with it more of the stresses I don’t
like and less of the kind of work I do
lik e?” Do I have the stamina and
drive to do the jo b ? Or am I better off
where I am now? What will another '
move mean to the time I spend with
my family and in activities I enjoy?
The lures of more income, increased
status in the eyes of the family, friends
and co-workers make questions like
those difficult to answer. The chal­
lenge and excitement of a bigger job
make them difficult even to ask*."r'~ * r
But if you ask them before you’ve
had many opportunities to move “up” *
to a Superintendents job, you may be *
able to get a clearer idea of where
you’re headed and why.
The first couple of jobs you have
either as a laborer, forman, assistant
or superinteandent will make all the
difference in the end rsult. The added
money will be welcome as your position I
rises, the added responsibility probably
minimal. Some people ascend gladly (
until they’re overwhelmed by a position
they accepted without thinking about
what it entailed. Others decide to drop v
out of the race at some period along
the way. They feel content several *
rungs down the ladder and lack either L
desire or ability or both to go higher, r
The difference between them and
many a sour-faced Superintendent who
disliks his job is they made a choice.

and see spring in bloom. Harry takes
great pride in this display.
On February 2, 1974, a testimonial
dinner was held in honor of Karnig
Ovian at Hop Meadow Country Club,
honoring him for his twelve years of
service to the club.
Karnig was presented with a watch,
a sum of money, and a lifetime mem­
bership at Hop Meadow Country Club.
Congratulations Karnig!
Karnig has joined his brother Mike
in the operation of their Tallwood
Country Club.
Joe Tor ok has replaced Karnig at
Hoe Meadow and we all wish Joe the
best of luck. Joe is from Mel Lucas’
area in Long Island. Welcome to Conn.
Joe! (Actually we are not as isolated
and provincial as some of our neigh­
bors think we are.)
I would like to remind our readers
and members if you have any news
concerning yourself, your club or or­
ganization, either note it on your re­
turn monthly meeting card or drop me
a note.

were Kayem Ovian of Long Island, Ted
Martinez of New Mexico, and Harry
Cirata of Calif. Wonder who the part­
ners were in that 4-some? Congratula­
tions Lee, on leading our team to its
2nd. victory in 2 years.
Charlie Tadge of Ohio will be the
new tournament chairman for the com­
petition in New Orleans in 1975.
The conference itself was held in the
Anaheim Convention Center, a very
new and modern facility. Once again
the attendance record was broken, with
5017 registered by the So. Calif, group.
The host So. California group went
out of their way to bring us 14 days
of sunshine and 70 degree weather. Per­
haps they learned from Boston. The
highlight for th Connecticut delegation
was at the annual banquet, witnessing
Charlie receiving the gavel from Cliff
Wagoner the outgoing President, who
has indeed done a fine job as Presi­
dent.
Now is the time to start planning for
1975 in New Orleans. The conference
is your one chance to greet old
friends, meet new ones, and benefit
through the exchange of ideas. See
everyone in New Orleans next Febru­
ary, only 10 months from now.

IT'S NOT HOW BUT HOW
MANY . . . GALLONS
The sports world . . . of which golf
is an integral part . . is looking at the
energy crisis with added concern since
it is a certainty any wholesale restric­
tions on the use of fuel will be felt hard
by the games that men, women and
children play.
The Motor Sports Marketing Corpora­
tion, obviously in an attempt to play
down the role of auto racing as a fuel
glutton, has prepared an interesting re­
port on leisure time activities. It takes
each sport and reviews its fuel con­
sumption for the latest full season. And
by some strange but legitimate turn of
figures, auto racing turns out not to be
the culprit many people label it.
The champion gulper happens to be
football which should come as no shock
because of its popularity. The tabula­
tion of fuel burning takes in the three
levels of the sport — professional, col­
lege and high school. And one side re­
sult is worth mentioning. In 1972, the
total attendance at high school football
games throughout the country was 299,740,000, almost 170 million higher
than schoolboy basketball
With the country club set wondering
how any reduction in fuel allocation
will affect it, there is a sprig of hope.
It seems that golf is way down on the
list of petroleum eaters and drinkers.
Total consumption — based on servic­
ing just over 10 million golfers — runs
to 14,500,000 gallons. This is a drop
in the bucket compared to some of the
other games.
Football’s total, for example, goes
almost to the 600 million mark and is
far and away the leader in burning
petro. The next biggest user is basket­
ball but its total is some 300 million
gallons less than football.
It should be pointed out that spec­
tator travel stands as the m ajor deter­
minant in the placing of the sports on
a fuel consumption graph. This is why
football is tagged as the largest gulpher.
Remember those near-300 million high
school football viewers? Well, they ac­
counted for a burning of 359,688,000
gallons of fuel. On the same breakdown
some 60,000 high school night games
used 15,987,200 gallons of fuel to light
stadiums housing them.
For the record, this is how the
sports studied lined up: Football, bas
ketball, horse racing, motor racing,
rodeos, bowling, major league baseball,
professional wrestling and golf. It also
is pertinent to note two discrepancies
in the report. M ajor league baseball
was treated separately as no figures on
college and high school baseball were
available. And . . . in the basketball

grouping . there was no tabulation of
team travel. This might have made
some difference in the standings since
the NBA and ABA — basketball’s pro­
fessional loops — probably pull more
travel time than the rest of the sports
combined.
The intent of the report is honorable,
not to mention being most timely. Re­
striction forces probably are at work
right now. Sports are ready for them.

letter — B y Gerry F inn)

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
A most interesting and enlightning
meeting on March 20th at “My Dad’s
Steak House.” Dr. Stephen Hitchcock
of the Conn. Dept, of Environmental
Protection, provided us with an in­
sight into the licensing of supervisory
and applicators permits. In a nutshell,
this means all Superintendents and Asst.
Superintendents will be required to
take and pass the exam for supervisory
status. Any laborer handling chemi­
cals and spray guns will be required
to pass the exam for applicators. The
law will take effect on Oct. 1, 1974.
A turnout of over 60 members proves
how vitally interested CAGCS is in
compliance with the state pesticide
laws.
At this writing, approximately 40%
of the golf courses in the state are
open, even though on a limited basis.
Reports of golf cars being used were
also being circulated. What the cumu­
lative effect of the cars will be will be
determined in July and August. A most
interesting situation!
Our Superintendent,
Professional,
Greens Chairman, and President Tour­
ney will be held on June 10th. at the
C. C. of Fairfield. Every member
should do his utmost to bring team
together for this event, on one of the
finest courses in the state. Club of­
ficials may be substituted to make up
your team.
Our April meeting will be on the
9th. of April at the Patterson Club in
Fairfield. Bob Clark will be host for
the day’s activities. Let’s see a great
turnout for our 1st golfing meeting.
A card, (ticket) system will be in
effect for this meeting. The dinner tic­
kets may be purchased either before
playing golf, or at any time before
dinner for those not playing-golf. John
Perry and his Golf Committee will be
in charge of the tickets. No tickee, no
dinee! ! !
As we approach another busy season,
may I wish the best to all in our ever
expanding business.
