Show members
that y o u care
about them
Just another typical day on the job.
Member/guest 8:30 shotgun on the East,
Ladies Day 18 & 9 holers on the North
also a shotgun at 8:30 and regular tee
times on the South. Temperatures in the
low 80s, humidity 40% and the wind out
of the east at 5-7 mph; one of those days
that make Florida famous.
As I sit going over the
daily schedules,
the
phone
rings.
"It's
Ned," my secretary tells me,
"he would like
to talk to you
for a few minutes." "Hmm",
I say to myself,"
he must be back
in town and
Tom Benefield
probablywants
to play golf."
"Pll take this call," I reply to Anna.
"Tom, how are you," Ned starts off.
"Listen, I'm in town for a few days,
actually about ten, and I want to play out
there. When are you going to be spraying again?"
You see, Ned is allergic to several
different fungicides and he always calls
me before he makes his tee time and
course selection to avoid coming in contact with the chemicals. I first met Ned a
couple of years ago when he called as he
had today inquiring about our plans to
spray fungicides. He is what you would
call, "one of our better members". Always supportive, never negative, never
demanding that we alter our plans, simply asking for information that could
prevent us both from having potentially
severe problems.
I have always appreciated this type of
attitude and have been more than happy
to answer his questions. I have, upon
occasion when conditions and schedules allowed, altered my spray schedule
to permit Ned to play his favorite course.

As Ned was thanking me for my help,
he told me of an incident at another
course he belongs to up north that made
me feel uneasy. He spoke of how the
other superintendent was irritated that
he would call and often reluctant to
either take his call or tell him of his spray
plans. To put it in Ned's words, "the guy
was always too busy or so I'm told."
"Unbelievable," I think to myself.
How can any golf course superintendent
with the responsibility of applying pesticides be "too busy" to speak with a member who has a legitimate inquiry? Especially one that has to do with a person's
health and safety and personal liability
of the superintendent.
Instead of building bridges, one superintendent is burning them before the
ink on the blueprint dries. How people
like this stay in the business is far beyond
my comprehension.
The sad part is that for every one of
these types, it will take fifty people like
me to convince Ned to have positive
feelings about golf course superintendents.
We who are charged with the health
and protection of crew members and the
golfing public are always harping on
how tough environmentalists and regulators are on us. It is readily apparent
that in some situations the public's scepticism and criticism is well-founded.
We are, at times, our own worst enemy. By the very nature of our daily
actions do we give the impression that
our profession is of uncaring and selfish
immaturity. We cannot overcome negative perceptions from the public when
we fail to create good impressions to
even our own members.
We must overcome this attitude. The
FGCSA is taking steps to help our members come to terms with these issues.
Government Relations liaison, Tim
Hiers, has developed a program that can
be initiated by every superintendent to
come into compliance with the state and
federal pesticide and safety regulations.
Tim's "Compliance Certification" is a
15-step program designed to help superintendents avoid costly liability for
their clubs as well as ourselves.
Perhaps the most important aspect

of the compliance program is that if we
can get everyone to participate and take
these steps, we can set an example not
only golf courses around the country
but also for the agricultural industry
that is in desperate need of a program to
follow.
If we can get members to complete
this audit, it will show to the regulating
bodies and the public that we are committed to preserving our environment
and the future of golf courses.
This is not the time to sit idly on the
sidelines hoping someone else will make
the big play to win the game. This game,
you see, cannot be won by big plays. It is
like Big Ten football — a game of 3 yards
and a cloud of dust that is only won
when everyone does their share.
The audit will not be easy. It will
require that you change some of your
practices and institute new policies.
However, a large portion of the audit is
probably already being performed at
your facility and once you review the
remaining items and take the appropriate action steps, you will see it was not as
difficult as thought.
As Ned winds up his call with me, he
makes me feel better about my profession when he says that my attitude is
more of the norm than that of my northern counterpart.
He actually speaks very highly of several superintendents byname and course
and I can tell this is a friend of the
superintendents and, very gratefully, I
have had the opportunity to meet him.
For you see, Ned is not just another
golfer. He has become a friend and
friends are something we can never have
enough of.
We need more Neds in this business.
They aren't going to pop out of thin air.
We are going to have to work hard to
build a sense of trust with these people.
A relationship is like a vegetable garden.
It must be carefully cultivated and nurtured.
Perhaps one of the first steps is the
audit. Certainly by completing it you
will show your members that you do
care. Once they believe that, then any-

merger with FTGA
MINUTES OF FGCSA WINTER 1992
BOARD MEETING
The Winter 1992 meeting of the
FGCSA Board of Directors at Bay Hill
Club in Orlando.
SECRETARY/TREASURER: Paul
Crawford submitted the minutes to the
fall 1991 Board Meeting and the current
FGCSA financial statements. Both reports were approved.
FGCSA JACKET: Scott Bell said that
he had made inquiries about obtaining
another dealer for the FGCSA blazer.
After a discussion, it was decided to stay
with green, even though the shade will
change from time to time. Scott will find
a manufacturer who offers a similar shade
in his current line and obtain a sample
for the next board meeting.
AWARDS: Scott Bell said we need to
be more specific on the qualifications
for nomination to the President's Award.
The board approved a motion stipulating that in addition to having 20 years
experience in the turfgrass industry, a
nominee must have spent 10 of those 20
years as a golf course superintendent.
Scott also said that since there are
many non-superintendents deserving of
recognition, the board may want to consider another award to honor anyone.
BY-LAWS: John Gallagher presented
a proposed amendment to Article III,
regarding officers and directors. Sections
1, 2 and 8 would be changed to separate
the position of Secretary/Treasurer into
two positions thus increasing the number of Officers on the Executive Council
to five. It would allow for a fifth vote in
case of a tie.
External Vice Presidents were charged
with bringing this proposed amendment
to the attention of their local chapter
members. Voting will take place at the
spring board meeting so that it can be
implemented this year.
He suggested that two new people
could be elected at the annual meeting,

one for secretary and one for treasurer.
PUBLICATIONS: Mark Jarrell reported on how our publications have
been affected by the recession. He said
the Publications Committee will meet
to decide what changes, if any, need to be
made. A discussion was held regarding
the decision to go to six issues this year.
The Committee will look into the dollar
amount of advertising revenue. Subscriptions and the mailing list were also
discussed. Mark said the Committee
would look at each option and report
back to the board at the spring meeting.
Mark also mentioned that not all
chapters had gotten back to him with the
name of the person who would act as
liaison between the chapters and the
FGCSA publications.
MEMBERSHIP
DIRECTORY:
Marie Roberts reported that the 1992
Directory has not been affected by the
recession with a total of 53 advertisers
supporting the Directory.
GOVERNMENT RELATIONS:
Bobby Brantley, Florida Golf Council,
spoke on a program called "Save our
Homes" which proposes a 3% cap per
year. He warned that if this were established by the Florida Legislature, it would
only apply to homesteads, not golf
courses. He suggested that considering
that growth will continue, the dollars
would have to come from somewhere.
The most logical place would then be
business — that is, golf courses.
The Florida Golf Council has received only 39 renewals for membership
from golf courses around the state. It is
very important that the membership solicitation gets to the right person at each
club. It is apparent that golf course owners are not supporting the association as
well as their own employees who have
sent personal checks to the FGC.
Bobby said he expected to get a good
percentage of the 40 golf courses in Duval
County to join the FGC due to the tremendous amount of help that the council was able to give in that area to get
property assessments rolled back. However, instead of joining the council, they
decided to form their own association.
So rather than being rewarded for
their efforts, the council has suffered a

loss. They had planned to start a campaign to form local chapters of the FGC
around the state but Bobby is now wary
of this because of the Duval County
decision.
Bobby's purpose in addressing the
Board was to get direction as to the
future of the FGC. He said that it has
been suggested by Bob Yount that it
might fit within the FTGA package. The
FGC will meet with the FTGA to submit
a proposal to have the FGC merged into
the FTGA.
Tim Hiers then spoke on governmental regulatory agencies. He read an
article from the "Journal of Pesticide
Reform". He said that ifyour golf course
establishes the Drug Free Workplace
program they will qualify for a discount
on their Worker's Compensation.
Tim urged all board members to work
on getting their club to fulfill the Minimum Compliance Audit proposed last
spring. Greg Plotner said the West Coast
chapter has formed a committee to comply by getting speakers to their chapter
meetings who will go over each of the 14
points individually. Even though a financial commitment might be necessary to comply with some of the points
on the audit, the first 12 points are required by law.
PenniMarie O'Brien, Missimer &
Associates, discussed the mix/load program. Tom Benefield mentioned that
literature on the mix/load stations are
available from the FGCSA office. Tim
Hiers said that St. John's Water Management District has funds available to
fund up to 90% of the cost to build a
mix/load chemical station. Superintendents in the St. John's area are encouraged to contact the SJWMD to obtain
the necessary forms.
Tom Benefield discussed the groundwater contamination project being pursued by the USGS. Pebble Creek and
Buckhorn Springs in Hillsborough
County and Gary Smither's courses in
Sarasota will be part of this program.
EDUCATION: Rick Walker said he
has spoken to the GCSAA about a regional seminar for this year even though
we were too late to have our dates printed
in their yearly schedule. The 1990 semi-

nar in Orlando was well-attended. The
seminar held in conjunction with the
Poa will focus on groundwater and/or
other environmental issues.
MEMBERSHIP: Tom Benefield led
a discussion on a dues increase to be
effective in July. The board decided that
since dues were not raised last year, we
should at least increase dues to equal
increases in the cost of living. A motion
was apprpoved to recommend a $10
dues increase to take effect July 1.
GCSAA: There will be a reception to
present the DSA to Cecil Johnston in
New Orleans on Friday, Feb. 14, from 5
to 7 p.m. in the Hilton Hotel. The presentation will take place at 6 p.m. Reception is open to Florida members and
guests. The board recommended a 50person guarantee to the hotel.
VOTING
DELEGATE:
Tom
Benefield requested that anyone who

has feelings one way or the other about
the candidates for GCSAA office to
call him before the convention.
The budget includes a $5,000 donation to the GCSAA. A motion was
approved to give our annual contribution of $5,000 to the GCSAA Platin u m Tee Club to be distributed
through the Chester Mendenhall Memorial Fund.
CROWFOOT: Joe Ondo reported
that the Crowfoot will probably be
held at Bay Hill or on one of the
Disney courses.
POA: Buddy Carmouche said that
the Poa will be held on the third Monday in May at Flamingo Lakes and the
G. C. Horn Tournament will continue to be on the previous Saturday
at the Naples Beach Hotel.
FTGA: Mark Jarrell submitted a
report on how much the FTGA has

improved in the past fewyears. He urged
all those who were not members to j udge
the FTGA by its current merits and reconsider their decision. The FTGA decided to go through with absorbing most
of the costs of a statewide survey rather
than waiting for the Department of Agriculture to come through. It will be the
most comprehensive turf survey undertaken.
CERTIFICATION: Dale Kuehner is
working with Florida Atlantic Vocational
School on getting a course together that
would use the GCSAA Certification Test
as the final exam.
FUND RAISING: Greg Plotner submitted a package to cover the nitty gritty
of running a successful golf tournament
for chapters that currently do not hold
an annual event. The chapters who do
run a tournament have always had a
good turnout with high proceeds.
RESEARCH: Ray Hansen said the
Research Committee along with several
superintendents met with four sod companies this past week to talk about putting surface quality. Poor quality
Tifdwarf has caused some superintendents a great amount of grief recently.
The company spokesmen present said
they would be willing to send their grasses
to IFAS anonymously for comparison
testing on our Fort Lauderdale research
green. The intent would be to find the
superior grass at putting green heights.
The committee will meet again after details of this proposal are worked out.
SURVEY: To date there are 140
responses.but many of these do not include answers to the questions on fertilization.
NEW BUSINESS: Tom Benefield said
Nucrane Machinery has made a very
generous donation of equipment to the
FGCSA Otto Schmeisser Research Green
in Fort Lauderdale. They have donated a
riding greens mower, a turf vacuum and
and walk-behind aerifier.
The FTGA Golf Tournament will be
revamped to include a President's Cup
which will allow 4 entries from each of
the FGCSA chapters.
The meeting was adjourned at 3:30

New laws may
affect industry
By PenniMarie O'Brien
Missimer & Associates, Inc.

The Florida Legislature in Tallahassee is now considering several new laws
that affect the golf course industry.
Once bill is the reorganization of the
Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. How does this affect us?
If Governor Chiles signs a letter of
intent to restructure DACS, the Bureau
of Pesticides may also undergo changes
This department will have its own inspectors to visit RUP licensed
facilities.Inspections would be concerned with pesticide purchases, storage, management, handling and mix/
load areas. In the past, the feed, seed and
fertilizer inspectors handled this area.
Richard Budell, chief of the Bureau
of Pesticides, said there will be an increased emphasis on pesticide handling
and application practices during these
inspections.
A second area of concern is the proposed pesticide mix/load regulation that
is in its fifth draft.
This regulation is also from the Bureau of Pesticides, and will be enacted
within the next two years.Its purpose is
to change the practices of pesticide management and the design of mixing/loading sites that may result in soil, groundwater and surface water contamination.
Bill Becker, agricultural engineer at
UF's IFAS, has designed specifications
for "pesticide mixing-loading facilities
that would be used to comply with some
of the provisions of the law." These specifications can be obtained from the external vice-president of your local chapter.
In a meeting with Steven Dwinell of
the Florida Department of Environmental Regulation in Tallahassee, Becker said
"the specifications can be scaled down
to each individual facility depending on
the usage of pesticides, and they are fairly
easy to read."
Pesticides, or any type of contamination for that matter, can be costly to
clean-up or remediate. To save time,
money and headaches, superintendents

should see if their facility complies with
new and old regulations. Many superintendents are actively taking that leadership role in our industry.
Budell and Dwinell both strongly urge
each facility to comply with all pesticide
management regulations to avoid possible heavy fines—which could amount
to as much as $10,000. Questions about
pesticide waste management can be directed to Mr. Steven Dwinell at (904)
