President's Message

President's Message
by Michael Perham, CGCS
Whether or Not the Weather
In what may be a first for the Green
Sheet, here is a True False Quiz
on how you can determine it's
spring time in Florida.
1. You don't need a rain gauge,
we have resorted to counting
the drops on the pavement it's
raining so little?
2. The morning low temperatures are higher in North
Florida than they are in South
Florida?
3. You have just endured two
weeks of near record heat, and
now you are experiencing near
record cold temperatures?
4. Your overseeding that the
last
two
weeks
was
transitioning with a vengence is

now hunkering down for one
last stand?
5. Unfortunately for the second
spring in a row, the state most
people associate with abundant
rainfall is experiencing the worst
wildfires in its history?
The shocking realization is that the
answer to all these questions is True
We are experiencing the after effects of El Nino, commonly referred to as La Nina. Yes, many of
these climatic conditions were predicted by the forecasters. Who really believes them anyway?

Michael Perham, CGCS
Like it or not, it's Spring. Thoughts
will soon be turning to aerification
and summer projects. Some among
us arc already involved in majour
course construction. Let's all take
time to get away, enjoy your family andfriendsand recharge the batteries a little before the dog days of
summer get here.

FGCSA Board Meeting
The FGCSA Spring Board Meeting will be
held at 8:00 a.m. on Friday morning, May
14th at the Naples Beach Hotel.
The meeting will be over by noon so that
board members may attend the 12:30 p.m.
seminar. All those FGCSA members attending the Poa weekend are cordially invited to come to this board meeeting.
Reminder: All chapters are encouraged
to nominate one of your longtime members
for a President's Award for Lifetime Service. This is your chapter's opportunity to
honor someone who was instrumental in
your local chapter but may no longer be
involved with the FGCSA. Qualifications
include 20 years of service to the turfgrass
industry, 10 of which were as a superintendent. Award winners will be presented
with an FGCSA plaque at one of your chapter meetings; have their name listed in the
FGCSA Membership Directory; and an article on their accomplishments will be published in the Florida Green.
This is also your chapter's opportunity to
nominate someone for the FGCSA Distinguished Service Award. Nominations for
both awards must be received in writing by
the FGCSA before the end of the Spring
Board Meeting.
The Green Sheet

Director of Communications Report

What's Up D.O.C.?
by Joel Jackson

means for golfers to participate in turf research and reduce the need for the superintendent to keep going to his/her club and
asking for money.

1. Government Relations
A. I attended an FQPA "Experts" Workshop in Tampa on March 3rd. Several
points follow:
(1) EPA hasn't given definite parameters
to many of the issues so stakeholders
are having a hard time providing relevant
feedback and information to help make the
implementation process accurate.
(2) The U.S. Dept. of Agriculture needs
to be more actively involved in the process. The USDA has risk, exposure and
residue data that it could/should share with
EPA to make the process more scientific.
WRITE YOUR CONGRESSMAN!
(3) Each Chapter should meet and list
and prioritize the organophosphate and carbamate products most important to turf
management operations. Let legislators and
chemical manufacturers know your needs
and what's most important. Compromises
will have to be made. Products and uses
will be lost. Put in your two cents while
you can.
(4) While there will probably not be any
wholesale banning of chemicals after the
August 3, 1999 deadline for tolerance reassessment of over 3,000 products, EPA
and various manufacturers will cut deals
and make compromises which will have the
net result of reducing the products over the
next 3-10 years. New and alternative product research and approval is at a standstill
while these reassessments are going on.

2. Allied Associations
A. FTGA: (1) The new turf research fund
raising program proposed by Don Benham,
Director of Public Relations was previewed
at the March FTGA Board Meeting in
Gainesville. The concept involves bringing the Boards of Directors ofprivate clubs
together for presentations by Don and IFAS
Administrators and Faculty about the need
for turf research. The clubs will be presented with a proposal to put a Turf Research donation option as a dues check off
on each club members dues renewal. The
donation amount will be $5.00. The object
is to get grass roots golfers involved. This
is only stage one of the process to provide
May/June 1999

(2) The FTGA is the licensee which owns
the rights to FloraDwarf. The Board of
Directors will allocate $10,000 from the
$15,000 in royalties already earned from
FloraDwarf sales to provide marketing information to compete with the marketing
campaigns of Champion and TifEagle. The
corporations behind these
grasses have been aggressively touting the
benefits of their grasses and FloraDwarf
which is a comparable ultradwarf had not
been a player in the business. The FTGA
wants potential buyers and course designers and builders to know that it is out there
and is an economical and viable choice of
the alternatives currently available.
(3) FTGA Conference and Show: The
superintendent education portion of the
program has been completed and includes
two GCSAA/Etonic seminars for CEU or
PDU credit - one by GCSAA Sec/Treas
Tommy Witt, CGCS on Communicating
with your Employer and the other by Ms.
Lisa Micunek on Enhancing the Professional Image of the Golf Course Superintendent. Concurrent sessions - a presentation by Brad Kocher from Pinehurst on the
preparations for the 1999 U.S. Open; two
panel discussions - one on continuing evolution of management techniques and information on the new ultradwarf greens and
the other on labor issues facing Florida
Golf Courses. There will of course be other
sessions of general interest including one
by Dr. Joe Vargas on "Chemical Phobia."
B. IFAS: (1) The U. of Fla. just had one of
its best attended Overseeding Field Days
on March 18th with approximately 150 in
attendance. The summer Field Days will
be held in Milton, FL at the West Florida
Research and Education Center on June 23
- 24. IFAS plans to rotate the Field Days to
make the presentations and research updates more accessible to all members of
the turfgrass industry.
(2) Florida First: This is a statewide conference (April 20-21) which is an important part of the UF/IFAS strategic planning
process to enhance the UF/IFAS mandate
for serving Florida's food, agricultural,

natural and human resources. This meeting will set a broad course and direction
for UF/IFAS. Stakeholders will identify and
determine UF/IFAS research and extension
imperatives for the future.
Florida First will identify UF/IFAS opportunities:
Domestic and International Business
Natural Resources
Human and Community Resources
Agricultural Input Industries
Consumers
Food Processing and Distribution
Florida First will help boost Florida commodities: Animals; Field Crops; Fruit
Crops; Vegetable Crops; Environmental
Horticulture; Tlirfgrass; Forestry; Aquaculture, Fisheries and Wildlife
I have been invited by Dr. Mike Martin,
Vice President of UF/IFAS along with six
other members of the FTGA and FGCSA
to attend as turfgrass stakeholders and to
participate in setting the course of IFAS.
C. Florida Golf Course Owners Association: The FGCOA held a Town Hall
meeting at the Grand Cypress Resort on
March 16th. The topic was the Future of
Golf. A member of Congressman Bill
McCollum's office was in attendance along
with owners and media representatives.
Several points from the meeting:
(1) Growth of the Game - If current
course building and golfer participation
trend continues for next 10 years, courses
will only be operating at 77% desired capacity.
(2) Marketing More Golf Participation First and easiest target is current golfers,
then attracting beginners and juniors. Identify barriers to playing(Affordability, Access, Time, Learning mechanics and traditions and etiquette, User friendly courses).
(3) Innovations - Build 3-4 hole practice
or pitch and putt courses on range. Install
forward tees to create a par 3 course on a
regular layout. (More maintenance for superintendent and staff.)
(4) Owners - Work together for marketing. Lobbying. Support Florida Golf Impact Survey.
(5) Superintendents - Suggest owners
join Florida Chapter of FGCOA. Also urge
owners to participate in the Survey to get

best, most accurate numbers possible for

local governing bodies.

8th Annual Ridge Invitational

3. Media Relations
A. Agriculture Institute of Florida: The
Ag Institute of Florida is an organization
made up of communications professionals
representing various agricultural commodities. I was invited to attend their 1999 Strategic Planning Retreat in Tampa on March
5th. At the conclusion of the two day session, I was nominated and elected to serve
on their Board of Directors. In addition to
providing a voice at the table for turfgrass
issues, I hope to make additional industry
contacts and learn more communications
techniques that will be of service to the
FTGA and FGCSA specifically. Additional
information on the Ag Institute was sent to
your Chapter External Vice President with
my monthly report.
B. Editorial Board: I have been contacted
by the American Crop Protection Association and RISE (Responsible Industry for a
Safe Environment) to participate as a representative of non-Ag users of pesticides
at an Editorial Board at the Tampa Tribune
newspaper on April 21st on the impacts of
the FQPA implementation. I will be joined
by a strawberry farmer from Dover, FL.
RISE and the ACPA is setting up these
editorial boards around the country to provide media with the users side of the FQPA
issue. I have received information to use
in the meeting and we will have a conference call before the editorial board to discuss how to present the information.
C. Radio Talk Show: I met a Mr. Tom
Shea at the Florida Golf Course Owners
Town Hall meeting. Mr. Shea is a PGA Professional from Odessa, FL and has a talk
show. He invited me to be on his show in
the near future to discuss FQPA and environmental issues on golf courses.

4. Chapter Relations
D.O.C. Presentations: I made a D.O.C.
presentation at the Suncoast Scramble on
March 23rd and another one at the West
Coast Chapter monthly meeting on March
24th. At the Suncoast meeting, President
Troy Smith presented me with a check for
$2,500 to be placed in the FGCSA Research Account.

Bigger and better each year! The 8th Annual Ridge Invitational on March 1 st
kicked off the 1999 fundraising and educational seminar season for the FGCSA.
The hard working and always fun loving Ridge Runners who made it possible
this year were: (1-r) Mark Hopkins; Bob Wagner; Steve Ciardullo; Jeff Brown;
Roy Wilshire (host superintendent); Tom Barnett and Ray Cuzzone.
This year was the largest field for the Ridge Invitational with close to 120 players
teeing it up at the Grasslands G&CC. Thanks to the support of the 35 sponsors
and all of the players, the event raised a record $10,500 to be donated to various
state associations.

New Turf Technician Hired for FGCSA Research Green
After ten years of service to the
FGCSA at the Fort Lauderdale REC,
Marcus Prevatte has resigned his position to become Assistant Superintendent to Joe Pantaleo at Indian
Creek.
The FGCSA Research Committee,
with the help of SFGCSA members
Bob Klitz and Bill McKee, has hired
Gary Pederson as the new turf technician. Gary has been in the turf
maintenance business for many years
and received an A.S. degree in Golf
Course Operations from Lake City
CC. His most recent golf course experience was as assistant superintendent for the past six years at Barefoot Bay GC in Sebastian. Prior to

that he worked at Indian Hills CC in Fort
Pierce; CC of Plantation; Ft. Lauderdale
CC and other clubs in the South Florida
area for nearly ten years.
Gary's duties will include hand mowing
of the green, application of pesticides and
fertilizers and all other regular maintenance procedures as well as upkeep of all
turf equipment. In addition, he will work
with university researchers in setting up
research projects, ordering supplies and
keeping inventory for monitoring the research plots.
Gary will work for the FGCSA Research
Committee under the on-site direction of
Dr. John Cisar, University of Florida Turf
Coordinator.

More Local Chapter Fundraisers

Big $$$ Raised at 13th
SFGCSA Exposition
Once again the South Florida chapter has
defied the odds and has run a successful
fundraiser that does not include golf! According to Jim Walker, SFGCSA President,
the SFGCSA will donate approximately
$23,000 to the FGCSA /Otto Schmeisser
Research Green through the proceeds of
the March 11th event.
The Expo format is based on equipment
and booth demonstrations scheduled between a morning and an afternoon educational program. Obviously the success of
the event depends on the cooperation of
the major turfgrass equipment companies
in the South Florida area. This years
equipment demonstrators were Diamond
Turf, Hector Turf, Kilpatrick Turf, Florida
Coast Equipment, NuCrane Machinery and
Ty-Crop Turf. Without their willingness
to go out of their way to bring their staff
and equipment to the Ft. Lauderdale site,
there would be no event. Credit also goes
to the 30 vendors who manned the booths
for attendees.
This year was even more financially successful due to Ray Carruthers and his staff
at Emerald Island Turf who prepared and
served the delicious barbeque lunch at no
cost to the SFGCSA.
The SFGCSA Board of Directors would
like to thank Dr. John Cisar, new on site
Expo Co-ordinator, who came through by
finding excellent speakers in Dr. Will
Hudson of the University of Georgia and
the ultradwarf breeders who formed the
morning round table discussion. And, of
course, to Marcus Prevatte who did most
of the on-site preparation. We are especially grateful that Marcus gave his time
to ensure that things went smoothly at the
FLREC even though he has already begun
his new position as Assistant Superintendent at Indian Creek GC. Thanks also to
his new boss, Joe Pantaleo, who realized
the importance of this fundraiser and
worked with Marcus to schedule his new
duties around the Expo. It is this spirit of
co-operation that is needed to continue this
fundraiser into the new millenium as the
Board begins plans for the Y2K Expo.

May/June 1999

This bunch of Suncoasters scrambled and came up with the 17th Annual Suncoast
Scramble event — a combination of business meeting, entertainment by the McCurdy
Comedy Club, lunch and golf. The event pairs a superintendent with his club pro, his
green chairman or manager and a vendor. This years committee included Bob Gwodz,
Troy Smith, Rhett Baugh, Mack Baugh, Tom Crawford, John VanVranken, Andy
Burmester, Stan Bokoski and Tom Hilferty. The Committee presented a check for
$2,500 to the FGCSA Research Fund.

Ken Gorzycki, Ballen Isles,
Is First CGCS for 1999
Ken Gorzycki, superintendent at Ballenlsles
CC in Palm Beach Gardens, is the first
Florida superintendent to become certified
by the GCSAAin 1999.
In 1977, Ken received his degree in
Agronomy with a Turfgrass Management
Option from Texas A&M University, studying under Dr. James Beard. This native-born
Texan spent his teen age years working on a
golf course and continued part time while
earning his degree. That experience was
enough to earn him a position as superintendent at Pinewood GC in Beaumont, Texas
upon graduation from Texas A&M. After 5
years, he moved to Atoscocita CC in the
Houston area where he assisted in building
an additional nine holes at that club. In
1987, he got the urge to build again, so accepted a postion at Fair Oaks Ranch where
he grew in another 9 holes to bring that facility to a total of 27 holes. In 1993, Ken
left Texas to become head superintendent at
Ballenlsles CC, a 54 hole facility. Since
being at Ballenlsles, he has reconstructed
one of the courses, is now working on the
second course and will soon begin reconstruction on the third course.
Ken was Past President of both the Central
Texas GCSA and the Lone Star GCSA. He
is married to Kathy, and has a 16 year-old
daughter, Casey, at Jupiter High School.

1999 Envirotron Classic
Over 300 golfers including new UF
IFAS Vice President Dr. Mike Martin
teed it up on April 19th to participate
in the largest chapter fundraiser for
turfgrass research. Organized and
hosted by the Seven Rivers Chapter
and the World Woods Golf Club, this
event is in its seventh year and has
raised $222,500. Barbaron, Inc. was
once again the presenting sponsor with
their donation of $ 12,500.
At the conclusion of the tournament
during the steak and shrimp dinner,
Tournament
Chairman
Glen
Oberlander presented a check for
$72,000 from the Envirotron Research
Fund to Dr. Grady Miller for a three
year study on light/shade effects on
turfgrass with an emphasis on putting
surfaces. Oberlander also presented
Dr. Jerry Sartain with a check for
$26,000 to fund the remaining phases
of his fertility studies.
Monies for research are generated
through sponsor donation, tournament
registration fees, raffle ticket sales and
a silent auction of specialty items like
a Steve Spurrier autographed football,
a Ken Venturi autographed David
Pursell print, custom made alligator
leather boots, and a variety of golf getaway packages.

Upcoming Events

1999 Poa Weekend Set for
May 14- 16
The Everglades chapter will host the 1999
Poa Annua Golf Classic on May 14th 16th at the Naples Beach Hotel.
The Everglades chapter was two years old
when it invited the SFGCSA over to Marco
Island for a casual get-together in 1970.
Things went pretty well and the following
year Dwight Wilson suggested that a pail
of Poa Annua be given as a prize to the
winners of the golf match. Sine then Poa
has been associated with the annual meeting. Sometime around 1972 Doc Anderson offered to supply a meal at the meeting. He left nothing out. Roast pig, sweet
com, ribs, and almost anything a person
wanted was served up barbeque style. In
1975, the get-together was officially
dubbed the Poa Annua Golf Classic. As
it continued to grow, other chapters of the
FGCSA were invited and the location of
the event was changed to other courses
such as Lehigh, Mirror Lakes and Oxbow.
It was while the tournament was at Mirror
Lakes that the Board of Directos of the
FGCSA decided to have one of its biannual meetings at the Poa Annua. After
1980 a permanent home was found for the
Poa at the Naples Beach Hotel and Golf
Club. As the golf tournament continues
to grow, so does its importance. The Poa
Annua Golf Classic has matured into one
of the most enjoyable events of the year.
This year's event begins with the FGCSA
Board Meeting at 8:00 a.m. on Friday
morning followed by the FGCSA sponsored seminar, "Effective Mole Cricket
Management and The Value of Soil Testing" from 12:30 to 5:00 p.m. Speakers are
Dr. Rick Brandenburg, North Carolina
State University and Dr. George Snyder,
University of Florida. This program has
been submitted to GCSAA for .35 PDU's.
The Poa Annua Luau will be held from
7:00 -10:00 p.m on the Watkins Lawn.
Shotgun start for the Poa Annua Golf Classic is 8:30 a.m Saturday morning at the
Beach Club. The G. C. Home Tournament will be held on Sunday at the Beach
Club.
