President's Message

President's Message
by Mark Jarrell, CGCS
I typically utilize this
space to update our members on
the various activities of our association or preach about the necessity of greater superintendent involvement. This time I'd just like
to offer some food for thought.
My perception of the
superintendent's status in the golf
industry — respected and distinguished, the indispensable professional and key person at any
golf facility — received a jolt
when in conversation with a good
friend on the commercial side of
the business. His perception was
that superintendents are not perceived that way by the people
who control the purse strings at a
club, and that superintendents had
lost some of the respect they had
been given from the people they
work for over the past twenty
years or so.

As evidence, my friend
cited the increasing numbers of
green committee chairmen, general managers, developers reps,
or other club officials that he dealt
with to consummate an equipment sale as opposed to the superintendents who made such
decisions in the past. His experience was that superintendents
were being left out of the loop
more often in many decisions
directly involving the golf course
maintenance operation. He offered the opinion that we ourselves
had created this dilemma by
demystifying our profession —
proper education and training
made a golf course superintendent
instead of trade secrets and voodoo. There seems to be no end of
available applicants with the
proper credentials. He also stated
he thought a majority of superintendents lacked sufficient business savvy.
I respect this person's
opinion and intellect very much

so I could not dispute the veracity
of his statements. Is this representative of what's happening to
our profession? Is this a cause
and effect of club's hiring less
qualified superintendents to avoid
the big salary?
I'd like to think this isn't a
trend; that every year I become
more valuable to my club because
I continue to learn and grow as a

professional. There's not a doubt
in my mind that I would fail attempting to perform what is required of superintendents today
with the level of knowledge and
training I had when I started in
this business twenty years ago —
the business is much more technical and demanding.
Looking around me at
seminars and conferences, I'm
always amazed at the knowledge
and capabilities of the other superintendents in attendance. I'm
also amazed when I hear of a club
placing their most valuable asset
in the hands of someone of limited experience with the rationale
of "saving money".
I'm sure there is a moral
here, but I haven't yet figured it
out. Those of you with better
minds can call me with your
thoughts.

The Spring 1993 meeting of the
FGCSA Board of Directors was called
to order by President Mark Jarrell at
8:00 a.m. on Saturday, May 15th, at the
Naples Beach Hotel.
All officers except Scott Bell were
in attendance. Big Bend was the only
chapter not represented.
SECRETARY/TREASURER: Paul
Crawford submitted the minutes from
the Winter 1993 Board Meeting. Minutes were approved.
Paul then presented a rough draft
of the proposed FGCSA operating account budget for the upcoming fiscal
year. Several budget items were discussed. It was decided: 1) to continue
leasing a postage meter rather than purchasing one; 2) survey should be done
bi-annually rather than annually; 3) more
suppliers should be solicited to co-sponsor the reception at the GCSAA Convention. The Florida Green could underwrite any expenses that exceed the
budgeted amount and invite long term
advertisers to attend the reception; and
4) secretarial expenses will again be
reflected under those projects that show
income, i.e., Green Sheet, Membership
Directory and the Florida Green.
The FGCSA will continue to share
expenses with the FTGA for a lobbyist.
Several chapters indicated that they
would contribute to the lobbyist account:
South Florida - $1,000; Seven Rivers $1,000; Palm Beach - $1,000; and the
West Coast chapter is holding a tournament in June with proceeds going to help
with this funding.
Income generated by our three
publications (Florida Green, Green
Sheet, and Membership Directory) was
discussed. All three projects are self
supporting . The Green Sheet is on a
break-even basis with the advertiser
while profits from the Florida Green and
the directory will be added into the
income projected for the operating budget. This will enable the FGCSA to
continue supporting turfgrass research
without raising membership dues.
However, it was decided the Board
should consider a $10.00 increase in
dues before the end of 1994.

The Florida Green budget was
discussed. If the present level of advertising support continues in 1993, the
magazine will continue to grow and
show a profit. As we get more pages in
the magazine, we will need more superintendents to write articles.
Tom
Benefield asked all External Vice
Presidents to continue urging their
members to get involved by writing.
A $7,500 C.D. was used to establish the Florida Green account. This
money will be re-invested as a reserve
account as soon as the Florida Green
account becomes solvent. Accounts
Receivable for the first issue (Spring)
stand at $35,000 so it will take some
time before this happens. Media kits
have been sent to all External VP's to use
in soliciting new ads from those suppliers
that you deal with who are not currently
advertisers in the magazine. The continued success of the magazine depends on all chapters becoming inYQived—by contribute g articles and
by soliciting new advertisers,
It was decided to close the Hurricane Andrew Relief Fund and put the
balance ($775.50) into a savings account for an emergency fund.
Tom Benefield made a motion
that the FGCSA donate $500 to the
International Turfgrass Society to defray expenses of the Conference that is
being held in Palm Beach in July. Dale
Kuehner seconded the motion. The
motion was passed. Dr. Cisar is looking for courses in the Palm Beach and
South Florida area that will allow participants to play their courses during the
week of the Conference.
A finalized budget will be proposed at the annual board meeting.
AWARDS:
Nominations for
Presidents Award for Lifetime Service
and Distinguished Service Award have
been received. The Executive Committee will review the nominations immediately after the Board Meeting. Letters
will be sent to those chapters who made
a nomination for the Presidents Award.
BY-LAWS: John Gallagher submitted
the following amendment to the FGCSA
By Laws regarding a new membership

category. ARTICLE II. Add a Section
1A to read: "Those superintendents
wishing to be members of the State
Association shall have the right to petition through a special member category
(i.e., At Large Membership), of the
FGCSA to the Executive Committee of
the FGCSA for membership to said association. In order to qualify, applicants
must demonstrate hardships that preventthemfromjoining their local chapter
of the FGCSA. Allrights,privileges and
rules of the FGCSA will apply to these
special memberships, except that of
holding office." It was noted that this
will leave the Executive Committee latitude to accept or deny the petitions. A
motion was made to approve the By
Law Change. The motion was approved.
The dues structure and
membership application form was referred to the Membership Committee.
EDUCATION: Registration for the
Poa seminar on Golf Course Design and
Construction stands at 51. Details of this
year's Crowfoot seminar can be found
on page 3. The 1993 FGCSA/GCSAA
Regional Seminar will be held in Palm
Beach in November.
Brigid Braun discussed the educational program at the National. Gary
Grigg discussed the changes that are
taking place at GCSAA headquarters in
regard to Certification. The application
fee for requesting CEU's at local seminars has been discontinued. The GCSAA
has reinstituted a Certification Committee which will review the current testing
procedure for the certification test and
also study evaluation forms from those
attending GCSAA seminars.
CROWFOOT: Joe Ondo reported that
this year's Crowfoot Tournament will
be held at the Osprey Ridge GC. He
handed out registration forms to all
chapters. Those wishing to stay at the
Disney hotel are encouraged to book
early as our room block is limited.
POA: Prentis Knotts reported that 128
players have signed up for the Poa Classic. The ratio is 70/30 superintendents
to suppliers. He expects the Tournament to set a new record in total funds

generated for research. 275 people have
made reservations for the banquet and
Vegas night activities set for Sunday.
FTGA: Jerry Redden, FTGA President,
reported that FTGA membership now
stands at 851 members. The next Tampa
Show already promises to be larger than
the Jacksonville shows. The FTGA has
worked to re-establish Florida Turf
Certification by 1994. The work on the
Turf Survey is on schedule but funding
is slow to come in. Jerry noted that the
FTGA is extremely grateful for all the
financial help it has received from the
FGCSA and its local chapters and individual members. The Envirotron
completion date is set for September. A
lot of money has been spent on this
project and we need to be sure to use the
facility to its full capacity.
It was
suggested that the students at LCCC
could play some part in maintaining the
equipment for the Envirotron. Jeff
Hayden noted that his club employees
could also participate in this program.
The SFGCSA presented Jerry with
a check for $930 from Lank Oil Company
to be used for the mole cricket project.
Joe Ondo reported that the Central
Florida chapter is considering a Bylaw
change whereby a supplier must be a
member of the FTGA in order to apply
for membership in their chapter.
LOBBYIST: Dr. Tom Latta introduced
Mike Goldie who is the lobbyist who has
been working for the FTGA/FGCSA
since October. His duties have been to
represent the golf course industry during legislative sessions and to publicize
the positive nature of golf courses. The
FTGA Survey should help in publicizing the wide-spread and positive points
of our industry. Mike noted that this past
year has been a quiet one for laws passed
but that the DER and DNR merger created a lot of excitement and potential
changes. He discussed the Benlate legislation; the Solid Waste Management
issue; and the Toxics Use Reduction
bill. He noted that the Toxic Use bill was
defeated this year but forecasted that it
would be back again next year.
It was suggested that Mr. Goldie
look into the problem that the Ft. Lau-

derdale Research Station has with Florida
Atlantic University and their plan to try
to relocate the IFAS Center. All golf
course superintendents should write to
their state senator and let them know that
this would be a bad idea.
FUND RAISING: Joe Conoly, Todd
Himelberger and Terry Sauvage presented a program from Rhone Poulenc
that will generate funds for research.
The superintendent of a golf course must
fill out a short profile of his golf course
maintenance program and send it to the
FGCSA for distribution to Rhone
Poulenc. See page 7 for details.
RESEARCH: Dr. Elliott reported on
the progress of the Tifdwarf project.
The Foundation material Tifdwarf is the
standard; 5 of the plots are pure bred.
There will be 12 different types of grasses
planted when the second phase is completed, sometime late in June. Plots will
be cut at 3/16" . A triplex has been
donated by Ron Wright at LaGorce.
Marcus is still in need of a grinder.
A discussion was held on getting a
20 x 30 building constructed for equipment storage. Given the current situation with FAU, it was thought that this
should be tabled for a few months.
A suggestion was made that the
Research Committee meet to begin actively pursuing building a research green
in Gainesville, preferably in the area of
the Envirotron. It was noted that this
location would be ideal since there is a
definite weather distinction between the

Gainesville and the Ft. Lauderdale area.
LCCC: A report was given on Lake
City Community College. This year
there were 57 seniors in the program and
45% of these found employment. There
are 120 applicants for the 45 accepted in
the golf maintenance program.
GCSAA: Gary Grigg reported that new
By-law Amendments are being worked
on that will be more in tune with membership needs. He also noted that the
GCSAA is planning a large meeting in
September where a representative from
each GCSAA chapter will be invited to
attend. The GCSAA will cover room
and board for the representative during
the meeting and the chapter will be responsible for airfare and other miscellaneous expenses. It is hoped that this
meeting will generate lots of interest
from around the country and create a
more unified organization.
He also mentioned a new program that is in the conceptual stage
where the GCSAA could become more
involved with local chapter problems.
More information on this project will be
coming soon.
NEW BUSINESS: Seven Rivers
chapter is planning an Envirotron
Tournament in June to raise substantial
funds for the Envirotron. They have
received good supplier support, particularly from Lesco and Ag Resources, and
Western Golf Company is donating the
use of the golf course for the day.

FTGAIFGCSSA lobbyist, Mike GolcUe, and Dr. Tom Latta gave an informative
legislative update during the FGCSA Spring Board of Directors Meeting.

FGCSA Chapter Golf Tournaments

FGCSA Chapter Golf Tournaments Raise Dollars for Research
Many of our local chapters
have recently held major fundraisers in
the form of golf tournaments. We would
like to acknowledge their efforts with a
brief recap of each event.
The FGCSA and all of these
chapters would like to thank the
suppliers and participants who
supported these tournaments. It is
through their generous contributions
that these events are financially
successful. All FGCSA members are
urged to support the suppliers who
sponsor these events.

NEW FUND RAISING PROGRAMS OFFERED
Rhone-Poulenc Program

CIBA-Geigv Program

In 1992, Rhone Poulenc Ag
Company implemented a program to
collect profiles on golf courses
throughout the United States. We had
expected a 10% to 15% participation by
golf course superintendents, but were
very surprised and pleased when we had
a 33.5% participation nationwide, and
an incredible 60% participation in
Florida.
This year, we are again asking
you to complete profiles for your course.
As an incentive for your co-operation,
we have agreed to donate up to $ 15.00 to
the FGCS A for each properly completed
profile we receive. New this year, we
also have made available our Landscape
Problems and Solutions guide. If you
have a landscape supervisor who you
feel would benefit from this program,
ask them to fill the profile out and we
will contribute $5.00 for each profile.
By completing these profiles,
you will automatically be included to
receive important notices of changes in
labels, MSDS sheets and other product
bulletins from Rhone-Poulenc.
This program is very simple
and easy to administer. No purchase is
requiredand no records must be maintained. Substantial funds can be generated for your Association.
If you have any questions, contact your chapter External VP or your
local Chipco representative.

The 1992CIBA-Geigy Florida
golf course superintendent program resulted in $8,700 being donated to the
FTGA turf research programs. These
donations were made by 61 Florida golf
courses as a result of assigning the proceeds of CIBA's Prescription Control
Program based on their purchases of
CIBA product to the FTGA.
CIBA Turf & Ornamental
Products announced the continuation of
this program for 1993 along with a
change which will allow for even easier
participation. The three product minimum has been dropped. Now all that is
needed is a cumulative purchase minimum of $2,000 of CIBA Products
(Primo, Award, Pennant, Subdue, Triumph, Banner) between October 1,1992
and September 14,1993 toqualify. That
means your overseed purchases last fall
will probably qualify.
Enrollment in the program is
critical to its success. You will be given
the opportunity to sign up at your local
FGCSA chapter meeting. You must
enroll in order for your purchase records
to be obtained from your distributor.
This service is provided to you by your
Florida CIBA distributor(s) at your
request upon enrollment. This saves
you the inconvenience of having to have
your club do the paperwork. Doing the
paperwork yourself is still an option, if
you like paperwork. Contact your local
chapter officers for details.

PowFlanw Program
To assist businesses in responding to safety and regulatory issues
in a responsible and cost-efficient
method, DowElanco has developed its
Responsibility Comes First product
stewardship program. By purchasing
active ingredients available in
DowElanco branded turf and ornamental pesticide products or formulated
goods, golf courses earn points which
can be redeemed for safety and response
kits, and to make donations to research
and trade associations. This new option
is an opportunity to express appreciation
for the efforts of associations and to
demonstrate continued support for their
endeavors that benefit the turf and ornamental industry.
For an informational brochure
about Responsibility Comes First or to
participate in the program, turf and ornamental professionals should call 1800-352-6776 or contact their local
DowElanco sales representative or distributor.
