Crowfoot
Open

Crowfoot Open Report

The 21st Crowfoot Open began Saturday, August 2nd, with the
FGCS A Board Meeting and Election of officers. Officers for the
coming year are Joe Ondo - President, Mike Perham Vice
President and Darren Davis, Secretary Treasurer.

Next year the event will officially become the Larry Kamphaus
Crowfoot Open in his memory and an award will be presented to
an individual in our industry in his honor.
The banquet this year was a Hawaiian themed pool party at the Grand Cypress Villas. Emcee and host, Tom
Alex, prayed for no rain and handed out door prizes to all those who held a winning ticket. Tom also presented
Vilma Kamphaus and her family with a special gift in Larry's memory.
An 8:00 a.m. shotgun start was the order of business for 120 players on the New Course at Grand Cypress
on Monday. Low gross superintendent this year is Chris Cartin who fired a fine 69 and won a spot on the
state team in Anaheim, California, in 1998. Finishing second was Mark Hopkins and third was Buck
Buckner. First place superintendent in the net points division was Ron Rood with Chad Sartain second and
John Lammrish third. In the commercial division, first went to Ken Ezell with Dick Bessire second and J.
R. Gall third. In the net points, first went to Kent Busser with Gary Ray second and Will Cassidy third.
The team chapter championship came back to Central Florida chapter. Members of the winning team were
Chad Sartain, Chris Cartin, Tom Diggens and John Lammrish. Tom Alex and his staff had the course in
excellent shape and all the facilities at Grand Cypress were enjoyed by all who attended. Special thanks to
Lisa McDowell and her parents, Bob and Jan Lloyd, for their help at the banquet and with registration. Jim
Hagstrom, tournament coordinator at Grand Cypress with the scoring, and all the employees who helped.
As usual, a special thanks go to all the Platinum sponsors, Diamond NEW FGCSA OFFICERS:
and Gold sponsors for their continued support in making the Crowfoot Open the success it is. Another great job by Vilma Kamphaus President: Joe Ondo
and the Crowfoot Committee on another successful event.
It was hard this year to stay focused without Larry being there but his
spirit was there and he will continue to be remembered and honored
for all future "Larry Kamphaus Crowfoot Opens" to come. Thanks
to all the participants and hope to see all of you next year.

Minutes of FGCSA Summer Board Meeting
The Summer 1997 meeting of the
FGCSA Board of Directors was called
to order by President Dale Kuehner,
CGCS, at 1:00p.m. on Saturday, August
2,1997, at the Grand Cypress Resort.
All officers were in attendance. A roll
call of chapters indicated that four
chapters were unable to send a representative to this meeting.
Coastal Plains. North Florida. Ridge
and SuPCQast chapters were not represented. Other FGCSA members
attending the meeting were Past President Mark Jarrell, Florida Green editor
Joel Jackson, Committee Chairmen Mike
Mongoven and Steve Pearson, FTGA
President Roy Bates, Buddy Keene from
Gainesvilee CC, Craig Weyandt from
Stuart Y&CC and FGCSA lobbyist
Mike Goldie.

Golf Agronomics Donates
Another $6,000 to Turfgrass
Research
Dale Kuehner announced that Golf
Agronomics representatives Dale
Mitchell and Richard Colyer had presented a check in the amount of $6,000
to the FGCSA Research Fund as proceeds of their rebate program for the
year. This check brings the total amount
donated to the FGCSA through this
program to over $30,000. Dale Kuehner
thanked them for their generosity and
continuing support to the Florida superintendents.
The first order of business was to clarify
that the By-Laws of the FGCSA call for
a three year commitment to the Board by
External Vice Presidents. Several
chapters have not been able to keep this
schedule and it has resulted in a situation
where we have 5 new Externals coming
on the Board at the same time. Chapters
were requested to adhere to this three
year policy.
SECRETARY/TREASURER: Mike

Perham reviewed the minutes of the
Spring board meeting and the minutes
were approved.
Mike then reviewed the budget
worksheet with attention being paid to a
few items that needed clarification. The
first item was the solicitation from the
Florida Golf Alliance for seed money to
establish an association for the golfing
industry. Dale Kuehner explained that
the group was looking for $2,000 from
each of ten different golfing associations
who would then be Founding Members
of the Alliance. The function of the
Alliance would be to unite these associations under one umbrella to provide a
voice in the industry. Most of the other
associations already committed to the
group are widely known "high profile"
associations such as the Club Managers
Association, PGA, LPGA, and the
FTGA. Additional funds to operate the
association would be solicited from other
"high ticket" associations, rather than
individuals or individual golf clubs as
the former Florida Golf Council tried to
do. Even though Dale was willing to
admit that he is a bit skeptical of the
eventual worth of the association, he
stated that we should try to support any
association that promotes our issues.
Dale made a motion that we send a
representative to their organizational
meeting with the $2,000 seed money.
The motion was seconded by Gary Grigg
and Geoff Coggan and approved.
The final invoice for the 1996 Public
Relations video was not received by the
end of the last fiscal year so will have to
be included in this years budget. We
also have to allow an amount for postage
to all golf courses in Florida, even those
who do not have FGCSA superintendents.
A discussion of a possible Web site
during this fiscal year was put on hold
for awhile and no funds were allotted.
A version of a Benevolent Fund was
discussed and it was decided to increase
the awards and flowers line item to allow for flowers to be sent in the event of

the death of a member of spouse of a
member. External Vice Presidents
would have the responsibility of calling
the FGCS A office to report of any deaths
in their respective chapters.
The GCS AA Chapter Planning Session
as discussed at the Poa Board Meeting
was approved. It was decided to reserve
November 7th and 8th for the Fall Board
Meeting followed by an all day session
on Saturday, the 8th. Marie Roberts
was directed to contact Grenelefe Resort
to make arrangements for meeting rooms
and a block of rooms for External V.P.'s
for Friday night. It was decided that the
FGCSA would cover the expense of the
meeting room and meals for Friday night
and Saturday and that the local chapters
would cover transportation and the room
charge for their External and any other
officer they may choose to send.
In order to allow for the above items to
be included in the budget, Mike polled
the chapter Externals for a commitment
to the budget. Everglades committed
$6,000; South Floridacommitted$2,000;
Palm Beach committed $1,500 and
Central Florida chapter committed
$2,400. Since four chapter Externals
were missing from the meeting, it is
assumed that more chapters would be
making donations later in the fiscal year.
A conservative $ 12,000 was included in
the budget under chapter donations to
allow for a balanced budget.
South Florida also announced that they
would be donating $12,000 from the
proceeds of this years Expo to the Research Fund in support of Marcus
Prevatte at the Fort Lauderdale site.
AWARDS: Gary Grigg will be presented with the 1997 FGCSA Distinguished Service Award at a meeting of
the Everglades GCS A in the near future.
South Florida has already presented thenPresidents Award to Alan Weitzel at a
July meeting and the Suncoast chapter is
honoring Mack Baugh with the Presidents Award at an upcoming chapter
meeting.

FGCSA Summer Board Meeting Minutes
PUBLICATIONS: Joel Jackson is the
editor of the Green Sheet which will
continue to be funded by Golf Ventures
for this fiscal year. It is time for a call for
articles for the Fall issue of the Florida
Green. We need more input from superintendents. It was suggested that Mike
Perham, as the new Publications Chairman, call a meeting of the Publications
Committee before the next board meeting in November.
EDUCATION: The educational seminar at the Poa was well attended and was
well received by those superintendents
participating. There are two GCSAA
Regional Seminars planned for Florida
in the next two months - one in Palm
Beach in Augustand the second in Tampa
in September. Both of these seminars
have good pre-registration numbers.
The North Florida chapter and the Central
Florida chapters also have co-sponsored
Regional Seminars coming up this
winter.
MEMBERSHIP: Dual enrollment
verification process for new Class A, B
and C members was reviewed.
CROWFOOT: Joe Ondo reported that
there are 124 players signed up for the
New Course at Grand Cypress. Once
again there are more commercial members than superintendents playing in the
tournament. The Crowfoot Committee
has decided to change the name of the
Tournament to honor the memory of
Larry Kamphaus. The Crowfoot Committee would also like to establish an
annual award to be given out at the
Crowfoot Awards Banquet to someone
who has been involved in a local chapter. Details will be worked out before
next year's event.
GOLF: Joe Ondo reported that the
FGCSA Golf Tournament will be held
at Southern Dunes on Saturday, September 20th with a 1:00 p.m. start.
Chapter teams will be made up of five
members with the best four counting for
championship. Individuals may also
register for the tournament. The winner
of the tournaments will receive a free

entry into the GCSAA Annual Championship in California. Jim Torba has
already qualified for the FGCSA Team
by his win at the Poa in May.
FTGA: FTGA President Roy Bates
discussed the new programs that the
FTGA has implemented in the past few
months such as the billboards and public
service announcements. He reported on
the upcoming FTGA Conference and
asked for support from all superintendents. The weekend begins with the
GCSAA Regional Seminar "Lake and
Aquatic Plant Management: on Thursday, September 4th, with Friday reserved for the fishing and golf tournaments and other elective turf tours
planned for that day. That means that
the annual barbeque will be held that
night at Simmons Ranch. Saturday
morning the Concurrent Educational
Sessions run from 9:00 to noon at the
Convention Center. The Show itself
begins on Saturday immediately after
the FTGA Annual Meeting at approximately 1:00 p.m. The Presidents Receptions will be held that night and then
the Showroom opens again for a short
day on Sunday from 9:00 - 3:00 p.m.
The University of Florida Turf Coordinator search is winding down with the
final candidate negotiating salary
schedule with the U of F. They have
asked for financial support from the
FTGA and the FGCSA in helping to
fund this position over and above the
salary. The figure needed is still negotiable and Mark Jarrell will keep the
Board aware of the course of events in
the next few weeks. If the FGCSA is to
help fund the position, the money would
come from the FGCSA Research Fund,
not the Operating Budget.
Roy also mentioned the research that is
being done at the Belle Glade Center,
particularly in St. Augustine and Bermuda grasses.
FUND RAISING: Steve Pearson reported that the tournament scheduled
for the Falls had to be cancelled due to
lack of participants.

GOVERNMENT RELATIONS:
Mike Goldie gave a final report on the
1997 Legislative Session. He discussed
water issues, minimum flows and levels, water management districts, state
land and CARL land inventory, and the
tax issue on power driven farm equipment. He noted that there will be a lot of
changes being made in the legislators
this next election time because the eight
year limit goes into effect this year.
Look for lots of new faces in your district. He was asked about any upcoming
changes to the Florida State Constitution
but forecasted that many of these proposed changes will not be adopted.
GCSAA: Dale spoke on the upcoming
Chapter Relations Meeting in Kansas
during the weekend of September 5 - 7
(the same time as the FTGA Conference) . Central Florida, Everglades, Palm
Beach and South Florida have already
signed up to go. Dale asked that all
chapters send a delegate even if they are
unable to get a volunteer from their own
chapter. Call Dale and he will try to get
a board member to attend to represent
those chapters who have no one going.
Dale and Gary Grigg then discussed the
upcoming GCSAA elections. Dale will
again serve as Voting Delegate with
Kevin Downing continuing as Alternate. Candidates were discussed.
NEW BUSINESS: A discussion was
held on the possibility of allowing students into the FGCSA. This would
require a By-Law change to add a classification and would be permitted only
if the goal is to promote professionalism. It was decided to table this item
till another board meeting.
The GCSAA has requested that all volunteers for GCSAA comm ittees m ust be
recommended by their local chapters.
This screening process goes into effect
immediately.
The meeting was adjourned at 3:45 p.m.
