CLIPPINGS
MARCH 1984

Roundtable
I was introduced this week to a side of
golf unfamiliar to most golfers of my caliber.
Contrary to popular belief, it wasn’t pars
and birdies. I have seen a couple of them
made.
The unsung heroes of golf—some 10,000
strong—were in town this week for their
annual convention. They’re a group that
goes unnoticed when a course is in im­
maculate condition, but in hot demand
when greens are burned or the ball washer
doesn’t work.
The Golf Course Superintendents As­
sociation of America gathered at the Con­
vention Center for the 55th International
Turfgrass Conference and Show displaying
the latest innovations in golf course main­
tenance.
There were aisles and aisles of mowers,
tractors, chippers and grinders, golf cars,
engines, seeds, fertilizers, herbicides, fun­
gicides and algaecides, turfgrass, sweepers,
sprayers, sprinklers and irrigation systems.
There were herbicides to eliminate the
goosegrass or the crabgrass from the rye­
grass or the bluegrass.
There were companies selling flag poles,
flags, towels, ball washers, club washers and
tee markers.
Also on hand were two Los Angeles
Rams cheerleaders, who were escorted to
Las Vegas by Sanfu to add a little spice to
its booth. They sure would spruce up any
golf course I know, and they were more
attractive than any Toro mower, deluxe
model or not.
One company—Clearwater Farms of
Sheridan, Ark.—brought a couple of weed­
eating white amur fish. A strict vegetarian,
the fish clears lakes and ponds of choking
weeds and unwanted vegetation. The com­
pany guarantees “live delivery”—a rather
nice convenience.
The convention came at the right time for

President’s
Message

1984 is upon us already. In a few short
weeks we will all be preparing our courses
for a new season. It is time to reflect on
our performance as superintendents and
strive to improve our objectives through
attending local, regional, and national
turfgrass conferences.
Our January seminar was well attended
and provided us with an array of fine
topics. I wish to thank Jim Medeiros and
Eric Johnson for an excellent job of
organizing the seminar.
In 1983 I lost a close friend and
devoted member of CAGCS, Richard
Parsons. A golf tournament in his name
was held in July at Farmington Woods
C.C. where he was superintendent. In
December, Ron Holcomb and I attended
a memorial service at Farmington Woods
where a plaque was implanted on a rock
as a memorial to Dick. We are now trying
to schedule a second golf tournament in
July at Farmington Woods and hopefully
this will become an annual event. It was
the wish of Dick’s wife, Alma, that
money from this tournament be used to
purchase books for students from Con­
necticut attending winter school at
Stockbridge. Dr. Troll has been con­
tacted and hopefully these will be awarded
at the banquet at the UMass Turfgrass
Conference.
Our monthly meeting schedule is al­
most completed and hopefully will be
mailed to the membership before the
March meeting.
Also, Carl Wallace and his committee
are actively seeking a site and date for
the fall dinner/dance.
May I wish everyone a happy and
healthy new year.
Sincerely,
David Stimson

Coordinated
schedules—one key
to a successful
season
How many times

have you been out
aerifying the second
green and found out
that 50 dentists are
on the first tee for
their annual outing?
Have you ever had to
put off your aerifica­
tion or topdressing
because there wasn’t time to fit it in between
tournaments?
Members cannot expect optimum condi­
tions on your course unless all management
level professionals and club officials meet
before the season begins, to coordinate
their efforts. Management level profes­
sionals include the club manager, golf pro­
fessional, and golf course superintendent.
Club officials can include the club president
and vice president, tournament chairmen,
social chairman, pro shop chairman, greens
chairman, and ladies association tourna­
ment chairman or president.
Preparation before this meeting is very
important and should consist of several
steps:
1) A thorough examination of when
tournaments have been played in the past.
2) A list of the dates when you would like
to have your major maintenance operations
done on the course.
3) Review periodicals, letters and other
data provided to us by the USGA, GCSAA,
UMass or other research organizations or
golf course superintendents as to why the
maintenance operation should be carried
out at that time. Your fellow professionals
and chairmen have the right to know—and
it is part of being a professional to explain
and make sure they understand. Prove
yourself to them and be able to back it up.

two local courses. The Las Vegas Country
Club’s Jerry Roberts, who begins as head
professional at the Spanish Trails Country
Club March 1, looked at golf cars for his
new course.
Golf car company representatives met
with management of the Las Vegas Golf
Club which lost 82 golf cars in a recent fire.
I saw one model which was to my liking. It
had headlights, tail lights, turn signals, a
horn and an AM-FM car stereo. What? No
cassette player? One simply can be ordered
along with other extras such as a windshield,
canopy top or hub caps.
This particular model was a mere $3,200.
A little expensive, sure, but it has its
advantages. You could crank up that stereo
when your opponent attempts a putt that
will take your money. Or how about, “Sorry,
I didn’t mean to honk the horn”?
It was an interesting day—as well as
educational. While I am still not learned in
the different grasses and tractors, I do
know who to attack when the ball washer
doesn’t return my Titleist.

GCSAA & Las Vegas
A Very Successful
Combination

There’s no doubt that Bob Osterman
would, or could have, planned a different or
better scenario for a year ending conference
to his year as President of GCSAA. Surely
the well attended (approximately 9,000
registrants), well orchestrated (120 speakers
presenting 230 plus hours of continuing
education), conference complete with na­
tional publicity (Bob Hope & Arnold Palmer
in attendance) must have seemed as some
kind of ironic justice to Bob whose year as
President was anything but calm. Certainly
the membership of GCSAA came away
from Las Vegas with a feeling of accom­
plishment and pride in their association
which was able to stage such a remarkable
event under the trying circumstances which
had prevailed during the previous nine
months. It is impossible to adequately com­
pliment John Schilling, Jim Prusa and the
entire GCSAA staff for their dedicated and
untiring efforts. Enthusiasm continues to

abound concerning the future of the Golf
Course Superintendent in the community of
golf because of the guidance of the Exec­
utive Committee and the abilities of the
Lawrence staff.
The beautiful weather of Phoenix and
the hospitality of the host golf clubs kicked
off conference week (weeks) better than
even Frank Lamphier could have hoped.
The field for Frank’s tournament (rather,
GCSAA’s Annual Championship) surpassed
all previous numbers with 296 players. To
a man (and a lady) everyone agreed that the
event in Phoenix was unsurpassed. Fellow
supers of the Cactus & Pine Association are
to be thanked and congratulated for a job
exceptionally well done. Once again Frank
and Diana Green (of GCSAA staff) did a
yeoman’s job.
Tournament week was immediately fol­
lowed by Seminar Weekend where nearly
600 members attended one of the sixteen
or so scheduled seminars. Sunday saw the
real kick-off to conference week at the
membership briefing where Bob and fellow
Executive Committee members reviewed
the past year to those in attendance as well
as answering numerous questions. Most
agreed that the tone of the remaining
conference week, a tone of compromise and
understanding was established at the
membership briefing. The rest of the week
was clear sailing — a huge and active trade
show — educational offerings where seats
were hard to come by, and an immensely
successful banquet highlighted by Bob
Hope and Arnie. Frankly, the success of
the entire conference and tournament was
more than could have been expected. Con­
gratulations to the Staff, the Executive
Committee, and yes, to Bob O. for a job
very well done!!!

Senior Executive Director

Golf House
Far Hills, New Jersey 07931
Dear Mr. Easterly:

The Board of Governors of Baltusrol Golf Club read with serious interest the article
appearing in GOLF JOURNAL, “The Search for a Better Turfgrass.” We feel
strongly that the USGA’s turfgrass research work as described in this article and
your Turfgrass Research Case Statement will benefit our club, the game of golf,
and, more generally, the quality of life in America.
We recognize that this research takes time and considerable funding. Baltusrol feels
that as one of the beneficiaries of the USGA’s research, we would like to lend our
support. To this end, we are pleased to inform you that all Baltusrol golfing
members have contributed $2.00 each for a total contribution of $1,000 to the
USGA Foundation. These funds are to be used toward turfgrass research.
The enclosed donation is based on a formula of $2.00 per golfing member.
Supplemental contributions from individual club members are also being
encouraged at Baltusrol, but the $2.00 per golfing member will be received annually
— as we realize the importance of a continuing program.
Baltusrol would like to be viewed as an active partner in the USGA mission to help
preserve, protect, and promote the best interest of golf. We also look forward to
receiving periodic reports about USGA turfgrass research activities and to
continued participation in this worthwhile venture.
Sincerely,

4) Bring a calendar with you, one that
has plenty of room to write down events
and other information.
5) Meet with your greens chairman prior
to the full meeting to line up what you both
want next year for your golf course. Make
sure you both go into the meeting wanting
the same schedule. Iron out any disagree­
ments and ragged edges before you meet
with the whole team.
Go to the meeting knowing what you
want for the good of the golf course. Under­
stand, though, that there will be times when
you have to compromise. As long as your
membership comes up with a workable
total schedule for the next golfing season,
you have accomplished one major goal:
coordination. Maybe at the next year’s
meeting you will have to compromise less.
Pay attention and make note of everything
that occurs, especially rain dates for events,
women’s shotguns, and Sunday afternoon
tournaments.
The time after the meeting is probably
the most important part of coordination.
Purchase a large twelve-month calendar—
one on which all twelve months are visible
at one time—and fill in all tournaments and
scheduled work activities. In front of you
will unfold a complete golf season, one that
you can plan work around and not find
yourself fighting against the tide.
Coordination does not end there. Check
in a couple of times a week—or daily if
possible—with your club manager and golf
professional to see if any changes have
occurred or if any new events or outings
have been scheduled. None of us want to
explain why the irrigation came on during a
luau in the club garden on a hot July
evening. It is important that things like this
don’t occur; to avoid them, we must work
with our pros and our managers.
Coordination only works when all de­
partments do the work that is planned and
do it on schedule. Once the work is planned
for and the time allotted to you for main­
tenance, then get it done! If you ask for a
coordinated schedule, make sure you don’t
abuse time—yours or the club’s. After all,
when you disturb the course, you can affect
the club’s finances for a short period of
time.
We as superintendents should try to
convince our clubs to have coordination
meetings. It is part of being a professional.

Effect of Oftanol and
Triumph on Japanese
Beetle Grubs
Many of you are familiar with Oftanol*,
because it has been available on a limited
basis for two or three years. Initial studies
had indicated that a single application of
Oftanol* at 2 lb ai/A would give season long
control. More recently, reports from various
regions of the country indicated that
Oftanol* might not be the “cure-all” we had
all hoped it would be.
To address several questions concerning
Oftanol*, we conducted a very large field
trial in 1983, to determine the best times to
apply Oftanol* (generic name — isofenphos)
or Triumph* (generic name — isazophos).
Triumph* is a still experimental insecticide
which shows great promise in providing
excellent short term grub control, while
Oftanol* has demonstrated more persistence.
The study was conducted at The Inter­
national Golf Course, in Bolton, Mass. The
course has a fully automatic watering system
with no water restrictions (thou shalt not
covet!). The trial was placed in a large
rough area, primarily Kentucky and annual
bluegrasses, which was maintained at 2 to 3
inches. The area was nearly unreachable
from any fairway, so it was subject to very
little traffic from golfers.
We applied materials on 11 dates through­
out the year — 1 April, 21 April, 5 May, 20
May, or 2 June for spring applications and
14 July, 29 July, 10 August, 24 August, 8
September, or 21 September for summer
applications. The insecticides included
diazinon 5G (6 lb ai/A), Oftanol* 5G (2 lb
ai/A), Oftanol* 2F (2 lb ai/A), Triumph*lG
(2 lb ai/A), and Triumph*lE (2 lb ai/A).
Applications were made to 10 feet by 7.5
feet plots by hand shaking granulars from
glass jars or by watering cans for liquids.
Applications normally were made in early
afternoon, and Vz inch of water was applied
12 hours after application.
We returned to the treated plots 1, 2, 3,
4, 6, 8, and 10 weeks after application to
collect samples. We cut one square foot
from each plot (at least one foot in from any
edge), turned the sod over, and removed all
grubs from the sod, soil, and roots. Since we
had five replications for each application,
we could then take averages of grub counts
and conduct statistical analyses.
As you can imagine, the numbers gener­
ated from a study of this size can be mind
boggling. So let me spare you the numbers
and make a few generalizations instead. All
of the insecticides applied on 1 or 21 April
or on 5 May eventually provided very good
(at least 95%) control, but generally the
Oftanol* and Triumph* liquids reached
this level of control two or three weeks
sooner than their granular counterparts.

For the 20 May application, both liquids
provided at least 95% control within two
weeks, but the granulars did not do nearly
as well, providing only 70 to 80% control.
The insecticides applied on 2 June per­
formed similarly to those applied 20 May.
Both liquid materials reduced the grub
populations significantly compared to the
untreated check and eventually provided at
least 90% control, while the granulars often
were not significantly different than the
check and did not do as well.
Keep in mind that we had a lot of rain in
eastern Massachusetts during the spring of
1983 — 10 inches in April, 6 inches in May,
and 4 inches in June at the trial site. I
believe that the surprisingly good per­
formance of all materials applied in April or
early May can be attributed to the rain,
which drove the insecticides through the
thatch and into the soil, where it would
reach the grubs. The later applications
were not subject to as much rain, and thus,
may not have penetrated into the soil far
enough. Equally important, by late May
grubs are not as active, so they do not eat or
contact as much insecticide as they would
earlier in the spring.
The six summer applications, at two week
intervals, demonstrated several things.
First of all, Oftanol* 5G never provided
95% control, seldom exceeded 80% control,
and generally was not significantly better
than the untreated check for at least four
weeks after application, regardless of the
date of application. Both liquids (Oftanol*
and Triumph*) performed very well in
many cases, providing at least 95% control
two to four weeks after application. In
general, the level of performance was (1)
Triumph* IE (2) Oftanol* 2F and Triumph*
1G (tie) (4) Oftanol* 5G and (5) diazinon
5G.
We also made one fall sampling of the
plots that had been treated in the spring, to
see how persistent the insecticides were in
field conditions. We found that both
formulations of Oftanol* reduced the sub­
sequent fall grub population significantly
relative to the check, but surprisingly, so
did the Triumph* applications in all cases
but one. Oftanol* reduced those fall pop­
ulations 50 to 95%, with an average of 75%.
(Triumph* did not do nearly as well.) Thus,
it appears that in most high quality turf
settings, this season long effect should be
helpful but a follow up late summer appli­
cation may be necessary.
A few passing thoughts: The heavy spring
rains probably improved the performance
of the spring applications. In contrast, the
hot, dry summer produced conditions
which reduce the effectiveness of some soil
insecticides. The relatively light (V2 inch)
irrigation 12 hours after application (which
was done at the request of the sponsoring

To Those Who Have
Ordered Sport Coats
Ten jackets were ordered on January
5, 1984 from the Crostan of Boston
Firm. These jackets were delivered to
me on February 6,1984. However, eight
of the ten jackets were not of the same
quality as those previously received.
Therefore they were returned. The
company has agreed to replace them but
as yet, replacements have not been
received. Unfortunately, the Crostan of
Boston firm has not been as reliable as
would be liked and thus other firms are
being considered to supply the CAGCS
sport coat. I apologize for the incon­
venience caused by these delays.

(cont. from page 4)
chemical company) probably was not suf­
ficient to drive the granular materials through
the moderate thatch and into the soil, while
the liquids penetrated more readily. Fur­
thermore, the superintendent also applied
about 1/5 inch of water every other
night in July, to avoid losing turf to the
drought. These frequent light waterings
may have induced the granules to release
their chemicals early, before they reached
the soil.
All of the materials performed most
slowly in April and September. This is
when the soil is coolest and the grubs are
least active, so they are less susceptible to
insecticides.
Early studies suggested that Oftanol*
had a lag time of about three weeks from
application until grub populations would
be reduced. This lag period is apparent
with the granular applications, regardless
of date of application, but the liquid
formulation (2F) caused significant grub
mortality within two weeks of application
throughout most of the growing season.
This year’s studies will be looking at
possible effects of liming shortly before
applying Oftanol*. At this point there is
circumstantial evidence suggesting that lime
applications made two to four weeks before
an Oftanol* application may hinder the
Oftanol* under certain conditions. Use
care, and allow plenty of time between
applications this year to be on the safe side.
At this point, it appears that the best
time to treat for grubs is in August, when
the grubs are smallest and most susceptible.
If grub populations are unusually heavy, a
spring application can be made in late April
or early May. Whenever you treat, and
whatever you use, water the treated area
very thoroughly. Basically, you cannot over­
water as far as the chemical is concerned
(the turf may disagree!). Get the chemical
through the thatch and well into the soil,
where it can do the job.
