MARCH 1953

FROM THE PRESIDENT’S DESK . . . . .

How do you like our new look? We hope
that it meets with your approval and that you will be
looking forward to receiving ”Grass Clippings”
every month. It is just one of the many plans that
your committees have in store for you for the com-
ing year.

It is a new endeavor on our part, so as in
all new ventures, we will probably make a few mis-
takes. As time goes on we hope that your pint-
sized bulletin ”Grass Clippings” will improve.

We hope to include in this pamphlet any-
thing that will be of interest to the New Jersey Golf
Course Supt’s Association; occasional messages
from the officers; news items of the golf course;
what is happening in neighboring associations; no-
tice of our own forthcoming meetings; articles from
Rutgers; and anything else that may benefit the
Association.

In order to make this bulletin a success we
need your wholehearted support. So, if you know of
or‘have anything that will interest the boys,or if
you just want to ”sound off”, get in touch with Al
Foster, T. George Conley, Sherwood Moore, or Toney
Mascaro.

I want to take this opportunity to thank all
of you for the confidence you have shown in me by
electing me as your president for the ensuing year.
Thanks also for backing me up with a fine group of
officers. We will do the best we can, and with your
support are looking forward to a most successful
year for the NJ. Association.

Remember, this Association is not run by
one person or a group of two or three persons,but
by every member in the Association. 80 when we
say support we really mean it - - come out to the
meetings, join in the discussion, have your say, and
enjoy good fellowship.

Those of you who did not turn out for the
February meeting at The Mountainside Inn missed
an exceptionally fine meeting. We had one of the
best round table discussions that our Association
has had in a long, long time. Proof of that is the
fact that we did not break up and head for home un-
til close to five o’clock. Just ask any of the fel-
lows who attended!

I’ll be seeing you at Metuchen on March
10th.

Sincerely,
Sherwood Moore

Do you take an active part

to help the work along?
Or are you satisfied to be

the kind that just belongs?
Think this over, member,

Are you an active member,
