President’s Message

Jud W. Smith
CAGCS President
It's All in the Draft

Speaking of the "Effort In/Success Out
Theory", I am quickly reminded of
Pauline Streeter. For fifteen years as
executive secretary she took our
association personally and gave all she
had. Through illness and other life
challenges,
she
constantly
and
consistently "powered" our group.
Many of you do know what Pauline has
done for the board and our association.
Some don’t know. I cannot begin to
accurately tell you. If you have an hour,
ask any board member (past or present)
or any number of the contacts in Kansas
at GCSAA and they will tell you. Rest
assured she will be sorely missed and
that is an understatement.
Now back to the Draft...
Some six years ago, because CAGCS was
growing and the day-to-day duties of
our executive secretary were increasing,
Pauline needed help. Logically and
logistically, she called her long-time
friend and neighbor (at the time) Mary
Jo Kennedy-wife of former board
member, Les Kennedy, Jr., CGCS.
At first Mary Jo would just keep
Pauline company. After a short time, she
helped with mailers and then eventually
she answered the telephone. At that
point, it was over, Mary Jo was "drafted"
and she was off.
At first it was special teams, then
assistant to the executive secretary and
now six years later as Pauline departs,
she is the one executive secretary. Mary
Jo takes the "reins" at the

It is with some apprehension that I write
my first "President's Message".
I know we crawl before we walk, so
here goes...
There is a neat little book by Robert
Fulghum entitled, All I Really Need to
Know I Learned in Kindergarten. This
book highlights some basic insights about
surviving in this thing called life.
Cleaning up after oneself, warm cookies
and milk, afternoon naps, and helping
others~are but a few. An insight that has
come to me only through the passing of
time and the sometimes harsh lessons life
can provide is...the success of any group
of people, whether it is the New England
Patriots, IBM, Chrysler, YOUR GREENS
STAFF, and even our own beloved
association (CAGCS), depends greatly on
the draft. More concisely, the success of
an organization is directly related to the
caliber of people that make up the group.
Of course, add in training, motivation,
incentives and free golf (when
appropriate and time permitting, of
course) and there is no stopping the team.
Ultimately, however, it boils down to good stock out
of the gate.
As I reflect on the Board of CAGCS I am instantly
comforted. It is of quality stock. I haven't added up
the years of experience in our industry and also
"board" years, but it is noteworthy. Our association
is in very good hands and I’m extremely fortunate to
be surrounded by such quality people. For those of
you who have been vacillating about getting
involved with the board, THERE IS NO NEED TO
WAIT ANY LONGER!! Get on a committee or host a
tournament. I'm a firm believer that we get out of
something what we put into it. Our association is
no different!!

office and CAGCS never loses a step! I
love it when a plan comes together.
Actually, I believe that there are no
coincidences and that everything
happens the way it is suppose to-as long
as I stay out of way!!
Okay....now Mary Jo will need help; it is
too much for one person. Now what??
Enter Ann Piscitelli, a lady with some
twenty years experience in the legal
profession, a colleague of Pauline's in
another life, and a friend of Mary Jo’s.
Suffice it to say....nothing but sweet
music!!
Finally, The Clippings...do you like it?
Here’s another story and draft-pick
situation. Thirty-year member of CAGCS
and editor (in his fifth year) Bob
Chalifour, CGCS has combined his
energy and dedication with the talents of
Marysia Brejwo of Marysia Designs and
here we are!! I’m told the best is yet to
come.
In closing a few things of note: hopefully
your dues are in... file CT DEP Water
Diversion Permit by July 2002... March 19
meeting with a speaker from Inland
Water Resources for DEP with the topic
on "New Water Reporting Requirement
of Public Act 01-202"... and GET

WITH
YOUR
ASSOCIATION!!
Lastly, I want to thank the greens staff at
Orange Hills. It if were not for them, I
would not be writing this. It truly is all in
the draft.
Peace,
Jud

Trip to St. Andrews
A Visit with Walter Woods
By Melvin Lucas Jr., CGCS
A trip to St. Andrews, staying at the
most popular Bed & Breakfast in the
"Auld Grey Toon”, Dunvegan Hotel,
located a 9 iron from the first tee at the
Old Course is the way to go. The
weather was extremely nice for the first
part of November. The hospitality can't
be beat, and the pints of beer were not
bad either.
The number one person to meet is
Walter Woods, the 2002 GCSAA Old
Tom Morris award winner. Walter met
us a Kings Barns GC, a course that he
helped resurrect four years ago along
with architect Kyle Phillips.
The
course, then a 9-hole layout went
defunct in 1815. The course today is
spectacular, with numerous holes along
the North Sea and it’s ambience of
playing a true links golf course.
Walter is a true host and a great
friend, we enjoyed a wonderful golfing
experience as was the case of the old
style greenkeeping community. The
next evening we were invited to
Walter’s home where his lovely wife
Caroline served meat pie, an authentic

Scottish meal and very good by the
way. After dinner, sitting by the gas
fireplace in a modern home, we talked
of greenkeeping in Scotland and the
trials and tribulations that Walter
experienced at the Old Course. The
warmth of friendship flashed high by
a "wee dram" or two, going well into
the evening.
CGSAA is to be commended. Walter
is truly the most deserved recipient of
the Old Tom Morris award. He is a
person who walked in "Old Tom's"
footsteps, redesigning Jubilee and
Eden, building Strathtyrum and 9 hole
Balgove. During his overseeing of the
Old Course, he unearthed the wells
dug by Tome Morris for irrigating the
greens. A unique archeological find, in
as much as the leading keeper of the
green "Auld Tom" recognizing the
need for water, dug wells to levels
below the sea. This water was then
hauled up by buckets to water the
gently rolling hillocks of each green.
Walter has been an ambassador for
greenkeeping throughout the world.
He has been bestowed with awards
for both his greenkeeping and golfing
ability. To cap off a wonderful trip,
Walter brought us into the St.

(L-R) Bill Morton CGCS at Misquamicut, Dean Bozek
Asst. GCS at Misquamicut, Mel Lucas Jr.
CGCS, Walter Woods, Bob Chalifour CGCS

Andrews clubhouse. Overlooking the
18th green of the old course, we felt like
we had moved back in time. Trophies,
plaques, golf, memorabilia from years
past lined the walls. Few of us can
bask in the quality of golf club life like
this in the U.S. Those who have been to
The Garden City GC, Old Elm, Bob
O’Link and Augusta can relish in the
fact that we do have ties to golf as it is
today in the famed "Ould Toon of St.
Andrews".

Winter Seminar Largest Ever

The largest ever, 160 plus members
and guests of CGACS turned out for a
day of education and the awarding of
the Superintendent of the Year award.
Congratulations Brian Skelly, see
related article.
A Program consistently having
interesting and informative speakers
is sure to keep people coming back
each year, and this one did. Dr. Bill
Torello stressed the im portance of
promoting m icrobial activity for
overall plant vigor and health. Dr.
James Murphy updated everyone on
on-going research work at Rutgers
University on root-zone mixes. This
work is supported by the Tri-State
foundation, USGA and others. Some
of those
results
suggest
that
conditions may warrant modified
mixes. His own work will continue
with the help of research grants.

David Oatis, USGA Agronomist
went over the good and bad of
g reen s
co n stru ctio n
and
m aintenance, a subject most can
easily relate to. For an in depth look

research was reviewed by Dr. Karl

Judy Preston, C oastal/M arine
Conservation Director, Connecticut
N ature Conservancy, gave an
interesting presentation with scenic
inland and coastal pictures of our
State. Judy was able to show how
her group, and golf course super­
intendents have very
sim ilar
interests. She dem onstrated how
watersheds intertw ine with pop­
ulation and how native vegetation
and buffers are so necessary to
protect the environment.

Backed by over 5 7 years o f experience, L B G has a proven
track record on g o lf course projects which include
irrigation and potable water-supply developm ent, water

and site engineering.

MEMBER PROFILE
MICHAEL DONAHUE
By John Garcia, GCS Crumpin-Fox Club
A few months ago I asked Bob
Chalifour if their was some way that I
could help out with the newsletter
publication and he told me that he
hoped to continue collecting a series of
biographies on our commercial
members. I agreed to help out, and I
decided to start by talking with Mike
Donahue. Mike has been with Lesco for
17 years servicing Western Massa­
chusetts and sharing Connecticut
territory with Mike Dukette. Those who
know him know that he is an outgoing,
concerned, and helpful individual with
great understanding of his product line,
and more importantly, our business.
Mike grew up in Buck’s County,
Pennsylvania,
just
outside
of
Philadelphia. He got his start in the
green industry at a young age,
spending his summer vacations from
high school and college working at a
local nursery, and later for a landscape
contractor. In 1980, he graduated from
West Virginia with a Bachelors degree
in Plant Science. Upon graduation he
worked for Brickman Industries selling

Page 9

to grounds maintenance contractors
for four years before accepting his
current position with Lesco.
Talking with Mike on a more
personal level I learned that he has
been married for 17 years. He, his
wife Gail, son Neil, and their two dogs
live in Suffield. Neil is a sophomore
in high school, and Gail is a second
grade teacher in Somers. Mike's
hobbies include skiing and golf. He
has been playing golf on and off for
twenty years, and enjoys playing at
Oak Ridge and St. Anne’s, both in
Agawam, MA. He has also spent
many years breeding and raising
Golden Retrievers. CAGCS Members
Dennis Houle, Les Kennedy and Ward
Weichet are among the many who
have enjoyed the companionship of
Donahue-raised Goldens over the
years. It was nice to learn a little bit
more about Mike on a personal level,
as he is a great asset to Lesco and to
our association.

Frost Delays
From USGA.COM

How can a footprint be a killer?
W hen it s a footprint made on a
putting surface that’s covered with
frost. It's hard to believe that simply
walking across a golf green covered
with frost can cause so much damage,
but the proof will be there in a few
days as the turfgrass dies and leaves a
trail of brown footprints. That's why
most courses will delay starting times
until the frost has melted. And it’s
also why golfers who appreciate a
quality putting surface will be patient
during frost delays.
Why does frost cause problems?
Greens are fragile. The putting
surface, or green, is an extrem ely
fragile environm ent that m ust be
managed carefully and professionally.
Rem em ber that every green is a
collection of m illions of individual
grass plants, each of w hich is a
delicate living thing. O bviously,
Mother Nature never meant for these
plants to be m aintained a 3/16 or

even 1/8 of an inch for prolonged
periods. This stress makes greens
constantly vulnerable to attacks
from insects, disease, heat, drought,
cold and frost.
Frost is essentially frozen dew. It
can form when the temperature (or
wind chill) is near or below the
freezing point. The ice crystals that
form on the outside of the plant can
also harden or even freeze the cell
structure of the plant. When frosted,
the norm ally resilient plant cells
becom e brittle and are easily
crushed. W hen the cell membranes
are dam aged, the plant loses its
ability to function normally. It’s not
much different than cracking an egg.
Once the shell is broken, you can't
put it back together.
The proof is in the prints. Although
you w on’t see any im m ediate
damage if you walk on frosted turf,
the proof will emerge within 48 to
72 hours as the leaves die and turn
brown. And, since just one foursome
can leave several hundred footprints
on each green, the damage can be
very extensive.
