Cover: Rosedale Golf Club. “Superintendent Bill Fach” Rosedale and 102 Years by Bill Fach This year the Green Chairperson, Superintendent tournament will be held at the Rosedale Golf Club in Toronto. Rosedale is a private golf club located south of the 401 just off Younge Street, only 20 minutes from downtown. The history of Rosedale dates back to the year of 1893. The club first played under the name of Deer Creek Park and for two years played over a nine hole course in Moore Park. After playing on it’s Moore Park Land, the club moved into Rosedale sharing the clubhouse with the Toronto Lacrosse Club. As the game increased in Rosedale, Hole #3, Par 4 popularity, the club changed its name from the Deer Creek Golf Club to the Rosedale Golf Club and secured a charter course was 6,400 yards in length having five par 4’s, two of incorporation. As the city grew, the club was forced to par 5’s and two par 3’s on the front par 36. The back nine obtain new property and in 1909, purchased the land near consisted of six par 4’s, two par 3’s and one par 5 for a par 35. Hog’s Hollow in the Don Valley. The club purchased 134 Over the next sixty years the golf course went acres for a price of $40,000. through several renovation projects that, combined with the aftermath of Hurricane Hazel, altered the original design again. Architects like Howard Watson, David Moote and Rene Muylaert had their hands in adding changes to the Ross design. In 1988, course architect Robert Cupp was contracted to design a master renovation plan for the 18 hole course which would reflect the flavour of a “Ross design” while providing new golfing challenges for the Rosedale, CIRCA 1920 Tom Bendelow was Rosedale’s first course architect, designing the layout in June of 1909 in a single day, for which he received a fee of $25. His design made the first two holes headed almost to the back of the property. Holes’ three through seven marched in vertical, Rosedale, Hole #9, Par 4 parallel formation along the furthest distances from the clubhouse and eight through thirteen constituted a kind of membership. In the plan all bunkers were reshaped, plus Amen Corner. The balance of the holes brought the course the addition of 24 new ones. Thirty-one new tees were back to its dramatic starting point. The course was ready added, three greens were built and over 70,000 cubic for play in the late spring of 1910. With all the changes meters of soil were moved to reshape three new fairways. made to the course in the subsequent years, Bendelow’s The master plan is now complete with the last major work basic layout still remains intact. finished in the fall of 1994. In the spring of 1920 the construction of its present The golf course, although quite short in length by course was carried out under the direction of Donald Ross. today’s standards, still provides a good test of golf. I think Ross’s changes to the old course fell into the category of that Rosedale will live up to the other great courses that massive renovation, in some cases he virtually created new were played in the past. So I hope you’ve sent your entry holes. Ross’s plan was completed in 1924. The Rosedale in on time so that you and your Green Chairman can enjoy this great member’s course. Pro/Super at Monterra Low Net Superintendent Ed Farnsworth Breathtaking! Unforgiving! Monterra, as these pictures will attest, was all of that and more. In combination with good weather and great hospitality the day was one to remember. Ron Heesen managed us through a slow start, 15 Hole “Coffin” thanks to an over turned tanker which closed the 401 at Weston and delayed some of our contingent. Once we were on track and the juggling had finished we got a taste of a very interesting layout. With hole names like “The Coffin” (which actually has a coffin in the trees),(one that I felt had been specially prepared for me), and “Revenge” you can guess that the course wasn’t going to give anything away. The winners of the team trophy were Dan Lavis and Pro John Davis of Ingersol Golf Club. Ed Farnsworth and Pro Paul Kennedy of Deerhurst captured the low net team. Low Pro (66) was Al Patterson from Cedarbrae Golf Club, low Super was Dan Lavis (76)and Ed Farnsworth accepted low net superintendent. For those of you who may have missed the opportunity to experience Monterra hospitality, there is a Georgian Bay Days event coming up on September 26.

Eight of the 16 research ranges which has also been equipped with tools, benches, and were renovated for new research projects in 1994, three more are being renovated in 1995. Generally the renovation involved killing the ryegrass cover with glyphosate, cultivation, and reseeding. One range was sodded,and some areas remained fallow until spring of 1995. The ranges renovated so far in 1995 will be reseeded to creeping bentgrass and annual bluegrass, Kentucky bluegrass, and fine fescue. A rootzone compaction problem (construction related) that affected sections of the plot area had produced standing water and winter kill in some ranges in 1994. Three of the affected ranges were cultivated with a mole plough at 70 cm depth in strips 2 m apart (one range was cultivated with the perennial rye cover still on, the other two with the turf removed). This may be an opportunity to experiment with some other cultivation treatments such as deep tine aerification or water injection systems for spot remediation Pathology Green in trees of compaction. shelving for routine maintenance, research construction, USGA greens and native sand green.

Daconil has become the cornerstone of most disease control programs for a lot of good reasons: It provides outstanding control of the six most troublesome summer turf diseases...including dollar spot, brown patch and leaf spot...plus Daconil 2787 also works well on pink and grey snow mold. That’s confidence. Daconil gives you cost-effective disease control on tees and greens, as well as fairways. That’s versatility. And in over 20 years of use, there has never been a documented case of disease resistance to Daconil 2787. Not once. That’s reliability you know you can count on. With performance like this, it’s no wonder top golf superintendents never find out what their turf would look like if they didn’t use Daconil. Daconil 2787.

Pros this summer and they are in for a real treat. The course is spread out over rolling terrain with thick stands of mature trees. The trees are located far enough from play to allow O.S.C.’s Tami Packham with Superintendent Phil Brown some room for error but close enough to force one to negotiate the ball into advantageous positions for the following shot. Between the forest and fairway in many places is a belt of tall fescue and red clover providing a colourful frame to about fifteen yards of well kept rough. The greens are rolling, quick, true and, on this day, held very well. Not a big surprize after two days of rainy weather which dumped over three inches of water onto the course . Hats off to Phil Brown, the Superintendent, who has done a marvelous job through a month of unseasonably hot and dry conditions. I don’t think anyone minded the possibility of getting wet (which didn’t happen) and were hoping that the course at home was stretched out under an easy blanket of rain.

Reprinted by permission of Turf and Recreation Magazine SUPERINTENDENTS are now witnessing the development of a new and exciting management tool called DIGITALLY ENHANCED INFRARED REMOTE SENSING. This imaging technology, which measures the level of photosynthesis, will have major implications for turfgrass management everywhere. The technology will give the turfgrass industry the ability to detect very early signs of stress making it a valuable pest monitoring tool. reflected radiation, the grass would not be green, it would be red! Green is not a basic colour; the reason we only see Although Infrared Remote Sensing is not new, the green is that our eyes see more green than red or blue. computerized digital enhancement of the image is. This Because infrared is invisible, special film and techniques technology was first developed during the early part of are required to form the images. World War II to detect camouflage from regular vegetation. It was later found to have many other peaceful applications There are two methods by which infrared images can be such as agricultural and forestry assessment, border patrol, taken. The most common method is with 35 or 70- archeological research, blood analysis and exposing forged millimetre film. In this case, one uses an ordinary camera documents. with special infrared film that is responsive to the colours green, red and near-infrared. The film is then processed at My first encounter with infrared photography happened a special laboratory and then digitized and fed into a nine years ago when Dr. Larry Sanders of The Potash and computer for analysis.

Infrared imaging is the recording of images formed by ROCHESTER, NEW YORK - THE WORLD CENTRE FOR radiation. A stressed plant will therefore appear differently IMAGING AND OPTICS from a healthy plant because the amount of reflected If anything is happening in the imaging world, it is radiation is different. The visible portions of radiation are happening in Rochester, New York. called light. In addition to the light that we can see, there also exists the invisible radiation found at both ends of the The Institute of Optics at the University of Rochester light spectrum.

The Centre for Imaging Science at the Rochester Institute of The electromagnetic wavelengths are measured in units Technology (R.I.T.), provides undergraduate and graduate called nanometres. A nanometre measures one millionth of studies and conducts research on the application of a millimetre. The human eye sees only 8 to 12 percent of physics, computer science, chemistry and mathematics to the total reflected radiation. Infrared provides almost ten the formation, recording and perception of images. times more information because it is measuring from a much larger column.

In addition to the large turfgrass several years ago when he was studying Turf corporations, Rochester also has over seventy smaller Management at Cornell University. “I brought this concept optics and imaging firms conducting research and business to Dr. Eric Nelson, Cornell’s leading turfgrass pathologist,” in the area. says Hurd. Dr. Nelson was interested enough to travel to Rochester to meet with Dr. John Schott at R.l.T. A major One of these firms is Pegasus Environmental Limited, step forward came when Dr. Nelson offered to give from Spencerport, New York.

Although Hurd could make SUPERINTENDENTS VERY SUPPORTIVE accurate predictions on his own farm, he didn’t feel Zeke Hurd contacted a number of Rochester area comfortable making predictions on someone else’s orchard superintendents and asked them if infrared imaging is a tool because the system was not yet calibrated and that they could use to better mange their turf and the standardized. answer was yes. Among superintendents who have used infrared in the Rochester area are Joe Hahn, CGCS at Oak At that time, Hurd was introduced to Dr. John Schott, Hill CC, Rod Karchner, CGCS at Locust Hill CC and Robert professor of Imaging Science, Rochester Institute of Feindt at the Country Club of Rochester. Says Hahn, “I Technology. Dr. Schott was pioneering the process called have been very interested and enthusiastic about Infrared “Digitally Enhanced Remote Sensing”.

Anything that adversely affects photosynthesis like nutrient deficiency, insect damage, diseases, compaction, etc., will show up on the image long before it can be detected by the human eye. What we are able to do with this technology is diagnostic surveillance. We cannot ascertain the cause of the stress, but we can indicate the location of the stress. This can greatly improve the efficiency of the ground scouts because they now know exactly where to look,” adds Hurd.
