President's Message

President's Message
Craig Weyandt
I have been involved with research in
the FGCS A for the past 4 years and I
feel that I am just beginning to
understand how it all works. Beginning
is the key word there so let me tell what
I do know.
The FGCS A has a special relationship
with the University of Florida because
of its agronomic studies and research
that is conducted there. So each year
the FGCSA and the FTGA put in a
request to the scientists at the University
for turfgrass proposals. The scientist in
turn also ask golf course superintendents
and the USGA what turfgrass needs do
they feel need to be researched. From
this exchange proposals are written and
requests for funding are submitted to the
FTGA, USGA and the FGCSA. These
projects range in time from a few
months to several years and costs from
a few thousand to over a hundred
thousand (for long range projects).

The money to fund these projects
comes from chapter donations, golf
tournaments and vendor support.
GCSAA also has a Chapter
Cooperative Grant program in which
they will match funds for up to $10,000/
year for up to 3 years. To date, no
general revenue moniesfromthe State
of Florida are designated specifically for
turfgrass research. In the Carolinas
though, things are a little different. Each
year the turfgrass program at NC State
gets around $600,000.00 allocated for
turfgrass research. Fair, I don't think
so when you consider Florida's turf
industry has twice the economic impact
($7.3 billion in 1992) as North
Carolina's turf industry ($3.5 billion in
a recent study).
Before you get all excited, we are
working with our lobbyist Mike Goldie
to get the State of Florida to
appropriate matching funds for turf
research. Although there has not been
much publicity on this effort on
purpose, Mike has been working on this
for the past year and a half and building

positive support from key legislators. It
took North Carolina nearly 12 years to
get where they are, so we hope to be
on a faster track. Budget woes from
constitutional amendments and storm
recovery have kept the state's purse
strings tight, so Mike is keeping our
options open as to possible funding
sources within the state budget.
The FTGA is also working on a
program that will strive to net
sustainable annual funding that will
provide a solid base for the research
needed for Florida's turfgrass industry
and spread the donations equitably over
a broader population of potential
donors. I don't mean to be secretive
about the details, but negotiations and
procedures need to be solidified before
the program is made public.
Meanwhile keep up the good
work at the local level. Your donations
and involvement are appreciated as we
seek good scientific research to make
improvements to our products,
methods and environmental impacts.

What's Up D.O.C.?
by Joel Jackson
1. Government Relations: MSMA
(Arsenic) - The subject of arsenic levels
has come up again as the Florida DO ACS/
DEP and the MAATF (MSMA Task Force)
cannot seem to come to an agreement on
the proposed groundwater study.
The MAATF now wants to wait until an
EPA Science Advisory Board studies and
announces its findings on the toxicity of
MSMA. According to Dr. Dennis Howard
of the Bureau of Pesticides says the state
feels it must react more quickly and notes
that the SAB findings are not binding to
EPA.

Methyl Bromide - Follow up on our Critical
Use Exemption Applications. EPA is asking
for further explanations on possible
alternative materials and what "market
disruption" would the loss of MeBr have.
Would golfers stop playing golf if we didn't
have the product? We will be working on
that response, but ask yourself the question
and if you have a good answer please share
it with us.
Golf BMP Manual - The BMP committee
meets again on October 14 . We are getting
closer with no major changes left to make. If
you have any good "irrigation pictures"
please consider sharing them with us so we
can illustrate the do's and don't of water
use and conservation. Pictures of: part circle
heads around water bodies, streets or
wetlands; small spray heads on bunker
faces, tee tops, landscape areas; drip
irrigation; VFD pump stations w/control
panels; weather stations; irrigation
computer; repairs; radio controlled
operation; head spacing, etc
th

Point was a great success. The venue was
great and there were some new faces in
attendance for the various workshops. What
was missing? Some of the old faces. Too
bad. This is one place all the various turf
industries can come together and interact
with IFAS for common causes. And of
course it was a treasure trove of CEU points
for CGCS, Class A and Pesticide Licenses.
There is a concentrated effort underway by
the current board to make the FTGA the
broad based association for turfgrass and
all its various commodity groups. While golf
course interests still make up the majority
of members, David Dymond and Betsy
McGill of the Florida Sod Growers Co-op,
Karen Cords of Massey Pest Control and
John Mascaro of the Sports Turf Managers
Assn are working hard to bring in more
members. I am partnering with John (Allied
Associations Committee) and my External
Affairs Committee to involve other turf
professions in the FTGA.

Meanwhile the state continues to sample
monitoring wells in Collier County... many
close to or on golf courses using effluent
water and also county land. The results vary
but generally the arsenic levels remain above

the threshold levels established by the state.

procedures which yield only total arsenic.
The state is doing a milder reduction process
using acids which are yielding MAA-a
degradation product of MSMA. The state
is feeling this gives a better picture of
possible MSMA sources for the arsenic.
The direct link to MSMA is still not for
certain, but I am smelling a smoking gun in
their method.
The Naples Daily News did their thing with
headlines linking arsenic contamination of
ground water "possibly" to the use of
herbicides on golf courses. My 30 minute
phone interview with the reporter was
reduced to two lines in the article and he
used the word "poisons" when referring to
other herbicides for weeds, not me.
Comment: Superintendents need to reevaluate their use and need for MSMA. We
are in a no win situation until "science" can
prove or disprove that MSMA is in fact
contributing inorganic arsenic to the
environment. From reaction to the Naples
News articles, golfers seemed more upset
than the general public.

we learned how to properly assess and drop a tree. This training
should be a shoo-in for GCS AA education points. There are usually

Bob Boyan Wins Low Gross at
2005 FGCSA Championship

4. GCSAA: Next year on July 1 , just about nine months from now,
the first group of Class A superintendents hit the deadline for renewal
of their Class A status. Nearly 1/3 of this group have done nothing or
at least have not recorded points. One-third have done some work
and the other third have already met the requirements. With service
and education points given for monthly chapter meetings and things
you already do the most rigorous part of the process is to submit
your event codes to the various meetings. If you need additional
points there are online educational sessions that you can take without
leaving your home or office. Check it out at www.gcsaa.org.

South Florida Wins the 2005
FGCSA Golf Championship
It's a Repeat. But only fitting as the FGCSA
Team Trophy was "lost" at a chapter
meeting site in Miami. The SFGCS A replaced
the trophy, hauled it to Haines City and then
took it home again. Congratulations, and hey
guys, put a Lo-Jack chip on that thing!
South Florida Team members consisted of
Jason Bagwell, Seth Strickland, Kelly Cragin,
Bob Harper and Joe Pantaleo.
Individual Low Gross honors went to Bob
Boyan, Assistant Superintendent at
Tuscawilla CC. 2nd Low Gross was Jim
Torba, Everglades GCSA, with a 74 and
South Florida's own Bob Harper took 3rd
Gross with a 75.
Thanks to host superintendent Ward
Pepperman for having the course in great
shape for the competition and to host golf
professional Kevin Woodard and his staff
for assistance with the scoring and prizes.
In addition to South Florida, chapter teams
were Palm Beach, Treasure Coast, Ridge,
and West Coast, with individuals
representing Central Florida, Everglades and
North Florida.

SFGCSA Missing &
Exploited Children's
Tournament Benefits
from 3rd Bayer Auction
The SFGCSA Tournament for
Missing & Exploited Children at Colony
West Country Club marked the last of
three Bayer Environmental Science
Power Pak Auctions sponsored by
Brian MacCurrach.
The winning bid of $2,800
came from host superintendent Dale
Kuehner, CGCS, who as always had the
course in perfect playing condition.
Dale's bid won (5) 50-lb bags
of TopChoice™ (10) 50 lb bags of
Allectus™GC, (1) case of Chipco®
Signature™ (1) case of Revolver®, (1)
case of ProStar®, (1) case of Dylox®,
and (1) case of Finale®.
All proceeds from the Power
Pak Auction will go directly towards
programs for missing and exploited
children. The three Power Pak auctions
hosted by MacCurrach in his territory
of the Treasure Coast GCSA, Palm
Beach GCSA and the South Florida
GCSA Chapters in 2005 netted $10,000
for the associated charities the
tournaments benefit. Since its inception
in 2003, the auctions have raised over
$30,000 for chapter charities.
"It's great to be a part of the
associations' tournaments that help
such worthy causes, and to see the
competitive spirits of superintendents
as they bid against their friends and
peers," says MacCurrach. "I look
forward to continuing my support of
the Treasure Coast, Palm Beach and
South Florida associations with a
different assortment of our product
portfolio for the 2006 version of the

for sponsoring the Bayer Power Pak Auctions at the SFGCSA Tournament.

The SFGCSA Helping the Children of South Florida

On October 14,2005, after a one week delay due to heavy rains, the SFGCSA held their 21st
annual Tournament benefiting the Florida Branch of the National Center for Missing and
Exploited Children at Colony West CC in Tamarac. Some players were not able to play on
the rescheduled date, and a smaller field of 120 players enjoyed the great conditions provided
by Dale Kuehner and his staff.This year's event raised over $21,000 for the Center. Year to
date contributions to the center from this annual event are now in excess of $227,000.
"Twenty -one years ago, the Center began its work out of tragic circumstances, the abduction
and murder of Adam Walsh. Today we are part of a national network of nonprofit centers
helping thousands of children and families every year", stated Nancy A. McBride, NCMEC
Director of Prevention Education. "We are proud to be associated with the SFGCSA and
grateful to the community for their ongoing support of our mission: to help find missing
children, and to prevent child victimization."
"The SFGCSA is one of our charter supporters and partners," said Reve Walsh, co-founder
and Board Members of the NCMEC. "The children in Florida have access to child safety
information and programs, and their parents have access to an efficient response team if
their child is missing. This would not be possible without the continued loyal support of
the SFGCSA."
In 1984, the South Florida Golf Course Superintendent's Association Board members,
including Bill Entwistle Sr., and David Lottes, held the first tournament at Emerald Hills
Country Club, in Hollywood, Florida, several miles from where Adam was originally abducted.
During the early years of the Tournament, the site moved from Bonaventure, to Inverrary
Country Club, to it's current home of Colony West Country Club in Tamarac where Dale
Kuehner CGCS is the host Superintendent.

Mark your calendar now for the 2006 Florida GCSA Reception to be held in Altlanta, Georgia on
Thursday, February 9th. At press time, the site is still To Be Determined. There is plenty of time left
for all affiliates to be listed as sponsors for this year's reception. Please call the FGCSA office at
800-732-6053 if you have not received a sponsor solicitation and want to be a part of this great event!
