The event was made even more enjoyable because two of Otto's four daughters, Karen and Kris, were able Ray Hansen to attend the ceremony. Otto was an integral part of the Palm Beach and South Florida chapters with over 30 years of service in three separate south Florida golf courses — Indian Creek GC, Gulfstream GC and Everglades GC. He was well respected by his peers and a very likeable person. I would like to quote the following from Kris Schmeisser. "The green was so impressive in size and structure that we are sure a tremendous amount of valuable research will be conducted at the site. He (Otto) would be very proud to be associated with this endeavor." I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has been associated with the planning and construction of this project and especially the following companies who contributed directly to the construction of the green: American Peat 8c Soil Estech, Inc.

"Informative!" "Had no idea IFAS was doing this much research!" These were just a few of the comments heard at the end of the Turfgrass and Ornamentals Field Day March 28 at the University of Florida - IFAS Research and Education Center in Fort Lauderdale. Over 350 persons registered for the Field Day which included presentations in the Broward County Extension Auditorium by IFAS Gainesville staff (Drs. Ed Freeman - Envirotron; Al Dudeck - Sod production on compost media; Robert Dunn - Nematode management; Roger Webb - Pine tree decline; Bert McCarty - Weed Control; Don Short - Insect Control and Howard Frank - Biological control of mole crickets) and by IFAS Fort Lauderdale staff (John Haydu - Sod production trends and Monica Elliott - Control of soilborne diseases). The audience then toured the turfgrass field areas. Stops on the tour included: 1) building of a USGA research green - Monica Elliott, 2) monitoring pesticide mobility in a USGA green - John Cisar, 3) weed control - Bert McCarty, 4) bermudagrass resistance to sting nematode - Robin Giblin-Davis, 5) fertility ratios, nutrient deficiencies and controlled-release K sources - George Snyder, 6) sod production on solid-waste compost - Karen Williams, and 7) St. Augustinegrass germplasm evaluation Phil Busey. The morning program concluded with the dedication of the "Otto Schmeisser Research Green." After a deli-style lunch, the Field Day continued with presentations by the ornamentals staff. The Fort Lauderdale Research and Education Center staff would like to thank everyone for their participation. Hope to see everyone again in two years. First project: comparison of nitrogen sources A portion of the newly dedicated FGCSA Research Green is dedicated to projects the FGCSA Research Committee feels will meet the immediate needs of the golf course industry. The first project selected concerns the comparison of nitrogen sources for green maintenance. The project was established March 25, 1991, and will continue for at least one year. Nitrogen will be applied at the rate of 1 lb. N/1000 ft.2 from May through October and 2 lb N/100 ft2 from November through April. Nitrogen applications will be made every two weeks. All other nutrients will be standardized across all plots. Materials used are listed below. Plots will be evaluated based on turf quality (color, etc.) and quantity (dry weight of clippings). The FGCSA Research Committee is open to suggestions from FGCSA members concerning future projects and urges any interested superintendent to call the FGCSA office for further information.

The conference at the Orange Lake CC in Kissimmee was sold out and will ensure the continuation of future Green Section programs in the Central Florida area. Interest in follow-up information from this year's speakers has been great. Their addresses and phone numbers are available through the USGA office at (407) 546-2620. Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary for Golf Courses: Sponsored by the USGA, this program is designed to enhance the habitat of the existing wildlife at a course while giving recognition to participat- ing facilities for their positive environmental efforts. Hook a Kid on Golf: For a $ 100 sponsorship contribution, you can truly be a sponsor of golf. The program is designed to introduce disadvantaged children in your area to this great game.

Xeriscape: One-half of urban water is used on landscaping and this program can reduce water usage considerably using seven fundamentals to create water-conserving landscaping. For more details contact Bruce Adams, SFWMD. Computer Applications in Golf Course Management: Jim Moore, Director of the USGA Green Section in Waco, Tex., explained the Turfgrass Information File (TGIF) and demonstrated "Weather Brief," a new software program that provides direct access to weather conditions. Jim described his ideal golf course USGA TAS fee to increase May 15 is the deadline to beat the fee increase for USGA Turf Advisory Service. If paid before that date, the fee is $700 for a half-day visit and $ 1,200 for a full-day visit. After May 15, the fee will be $850 for a half day and $1,350 for a full day.

He also suggested the use of a V42/MNP5 modem. All of the information presented at this year's conferences was timely, informative and well received by all the attendees. The success of the conferences was due in part to help from some good superintendents with some equally good suggestions. Thanks, guys. I appreciate everyone taking the time to fill out my survey (It will be shorter next year). The suggested topics and speakers will be invaluable to me in planning for next year. The Green Section educational conferences are an excellent opportunity for you to gain current knowledge on the ever-changing trends in the golf course industry and receive CEU's for attending. -Shelly M. Foy Florida Office Coordinator USGA Green Section • A Dr. Beard to keynote FTGA Conference & Show The FTGA Conference and Show schedules have been finalized. The educational sessions and workshops seem solid enough to satisfy our most discriminating critics. Dr. James Beard will appear as both the keynote speaker and as a general session speaker. Future Conference and Show sites have been selected through 1996: 1992 Jacksonville Technical Help 1993 1994 1995 Tampa Fort Lauderdale Tampa 1996 Jacksonville or Port Lauderdale Mike Perham's letter of resignation from the FTGA Board was read and regretfully accepted. His management has now set a limit on the number of days he can be away from his job. Bob Yount presented artists' renderings of new logo ideas for the FTGA. It is felt that the old logo has no pizzazz or recognition value. Our ad agency, Mitchell Lambert of Tampa, will be instructed to work on other logo ideas. Creative members of the FTGA also will be urged to submit ideas. The IFAS Advisory Committee is working on getting the University of Florida to accept Lake City credits so graduates of that two-year program who wish to obtain higher degrees can transfer their work. The Members Services Committee is working on obtaining another valuable publication for FTGA members. It is called "The Lawnscape: Our Most Intimate Involvement with the Environment" by Eliot Roberts of the Lawn Institute. FTGA approved funding of up to $5,000 to Dr. Haydu to purchase computer equipment and provide travel expenses to develop a proposal for the turf survey. Envirotron will be built The big news and excitement, of course, is the Envirotron. At the time of our meeting, the Legislature had not yet approved matching funds, but I am confident this will have been done by the time you read this. The FTGA was the only industry this year that was able to raise the necessary funds for its project. (I believe 13 or 14 others failed!) We all think our success guarantees approval of matching funds. Much concern about the source of funding has been expressed by members. There is no cause for alarm. No endowments were touched! The FTGA offices were not mortgaged! Here's how we got the $350,000: $100,000 from the envirotron campaign fund started July 15; $150,000 from the Research Foun- dation General Fund; $100,000 from other FTGA accounts. If all goes according to schedule, groundbreaking should take place between June and August and construction should last between 12 and 18 months. As we went to press, the site had not yet been selected from among three possibilities on campus and one location at the G.C. Horn Horticultural Unit. -Mark Jarrell> CGCS Du Pont recalls fungicides for possible contamination Du Pont Chemical Co. has halted the sale of its "Benlate 50DF", "Benlate 1991 DF" and "Tersan 1991 DF" fungicides in the United States. All dealers and distributors should stop sale of these products immediately and notify any Benlate and Tersan customers of the recall. Golf course superintendents possessing any of these Benlate or Tersan products should return them to the point of purchase for a full credit. The products may contain atrazine herbicide. Du Pont will keep the products off the market until quality assurance and analytical procedures can verify the purity of the product. Du Pont apologizes for any inconvenience the stop sale and recall may cause to its customers. For more information, call 800-4417515 or 800-342-5247, prompt code 30, for specific information about return- New product kills grubs, fits into mole cricket program A new product from Mobay this year is Dylox Gran. Dylox has been used up north as a good grub killer. It has been used for grubs in Florida with good suc- cess. It is extremely mobile in the soil, penetrating thatch like it isn't there. Residual is extremely short so you kill everything in the soil profile but after a couple of days, it's gone. I believe this product fits well into a mole cricket program. I think Dylox Gran can be used as a Mocap substitute. The cost is in the range of Oftanol. If you feel you are not getting results from Oftanol, you could skip a year and use Dylox. It can be applied wall to wall in the critical May - June window frame when nymphs are 1/2 inch long and a good population reduction can be expected. It can be used all year as a spot treatment to clean up mole crickets or grubs. Its broad label includes billbugs. If I have made Dylox sound like a perfect product, let me now talk about the down side. It is extremely sensitive to pH. Dylox WP and Orthene are the most pH-sensitive products you can put into your spray tank. So granular Dylox will solve the problem, right? Wrong. In most of the U. S., soils are acidic and this would be fine. However, in Florida most soils are alkaline. This makes the activity of Dylox questionable. This brings me to my main point. If you have your soil in your fairways, greens, and tees at an ideal 6-6.5 pH, Dylox, Orthene, and other sensitive products will work great. Don't forget that if your soil pH is in the right range, your irrigation water may be 8 to 8.5. This doesn't help the situation. Soluble pesticides are greatly affected by pH. There is no doubt that improved kill is obtained by adjusting the pH of spray tank water with Orthene so I feel it is worth it to get the soil and irrigation water properly buffered. So with Dylox remember to get maximum kill, you must have a pH under 7. Typically rain water has a pH of 5.5 before it hits our soils so Mother Nature is trying to help — meet her halfway! -Russ Mitchell m Two more Florida superintendents earn certification at Las Vegas With two more certified superintendents, Florida continues to lead the nation. Tim Cann has been superintendent at the Reserve G&TC in Port St. Lucie since October 1988. Previously he was superintendent at Imperial Golf Club in Palmetto for two years and also served at River Wilderness in Bradenton from 1984tol986. A Lake City Community College graduate, Tim is single and spends his spare time fishing and golfing. Tim took his certification test in Las Vegas in February. Because that particular town is not conducive to good study habits, he had prepared himself well before arriving and was ready for the intense six-hour test. He advises taking the preparatory course, keeping reference material in good order (absolutely essential!) and using index cards. Tom Trammell has been superintendent at Indian River Colony Club in Melbourne for the past three years. Prior to that he served at Rolling Hills and Zellwood Station in central Florida. His interest in the turfgrass field started when he worked at a golf course in College Station, Texas. Tom has an A.S. degree from Brevard Community College where he serves on the Turf Advisory Council. He is married and enjoys fishing (both saltwater and freshwater), surfing, golf, and coaching son Eric's Little League team. He visits other golf courses every chance he gets. He feels the certification program is a valuable means of forcing superintendents to spend time reading and studying about their profession. He spent three to four months organizing and highlighting his reference materials. On test day, he recommends tackling the hardest sections first and pacing yourself correctly as the six hours can go by very quickly. Tom feels that the GCSAA should THE JOB SCENE Superintendent positions open O Superintendent, Woodfield CC. Contact Robert Fordham, 3650 Club Place, Boca Raton 33496.

Horn tournament that afternoon. New 7 Rivers Chapter cuts down travel time As many of us know, the golf industry is growing at a highly accelerated pace. The knowledge and technology of this industry is astounding and keeps getting better and better. Unfortunately, in years past, this information has not always been readily available to all superintendents, especially those at golf courses in less populated areas. The Citrus/Hernando/Marion counties and surrounding areas are just such an area. Many superintendents in these areas have not had the opportunity to be a part of a superintendent association because of distances. Travel time to meetings due to traffic congestion and mileage to southern or northern associations is too great. Also the membership in some surrounding associations has become excessively large; for example, West Coast GCSA has over 200 members. Most clubs in the Citrus/Marion area can not accommodate this many people. Fortunately, thanks to the West Coast chapter and several interested parties, an eleventh chapter of the FGCSA was formed on March 6, 1991. The Seven Rivers Golf Course Superintendents Association became a reality! The Citrus, Marion, Hernando, Sumter, North Pasco, West Lake, Levy, Dixie, Gilchrest, and southern Alachua counties now have their own association. I feel this additional association will help relieve some of the growing pains that other chapters are feeling at this time. As a new chapter, we hope for great success as we begin to grow and we plan to contribute to our profession as much as our fellow superintendent associations. We feel that it is extremely important to achieve continuity with all chapters in the FGCSA. Forming this association can only better the knowledge, professionalism and comradery for these superintendents. At this time, I would like to thank the other seven individuals and their clubs for volunteering to put so much time and effort into this association. I am proud to announce thefirstofficial meeting of the Seven Rivers Golf Course Superintendents Association will be held May 16,1991 at the Seven Rivers G&CC at 10:00 a.m. It will be a superintendent and assistant superintendents only meeting and we welcome all those interested in being a part of this new association. If interested, contact Al Ellis (904) 7956665 for reservations.
