and our voices heard and we intend to develop an initiative for fixture involvement.
On the Water issues side, I just received a
fax from Lou Conzelmann of the Everglades Chapter, who recently attended a
public workshop held by the South Florida
Water Management District. Lou, like
Stuart Bozeman, has developed a good relationship with the staff at SFWMD and I
believe it shows in the draft he sent me.
Restrictions will be based along the lines
we have been looking for, that being percentage reductions on monthly allocations
rather than arbitrary days of the week,.
Other issues still need to be addressed but
we are moving forward and seeing results.
So is the future all grim? NO! Challenging? YES! But where there's a will there's
a way. The big question is WILL YOU be
there to help?
In closing, thanks to the West Coast chapter for inviting me to attend their meeting
Feb 27th at Largo GC, a great turn out in
spite of the freezing conditions. I will be
visiting the Calusa Chapter April 18th, attending the Poa, May 1 Oth-12th, and returning to the Everglades Chapter for it's presentation of Dr. Tom Morgan & Dr. Michael
Coffman entitled "Answering Activists: The
Time Is Now" on May 22nd at Royal Poinciana. I look forward to visiting the remaining chapters during the next few months.

various phases. We say if we are already
reducing the water use (15-30%), then let
us use it where we need it!

and upcoming events or to contact the association. Submit your news of meetings
and events to me so I can post them. Any

Fast Facts on Water
1. Nature is the biggest consumer of water.
2. On comparable acreages, residential use
of water is five times more than a golf
course.
3. Americans consume 150 gallons of water per day. An Englishman uses 37gpd
and a middle easterner uses 20 gpd. Most
of that American 150 gpd is for lawn/ornamental irrigation.

1. Government Relations: Nemacur registration - Unable to get practical and scientific decisions from EPA, the Bayer Corporation is unable to continue to finance
and defend re-registration of Nemacur due
to escalating costs to more and more studies. Therefore Bayer has agreed to a 3-5
year phase out of Nemacur beginning May
31, 2002. Bayer will be able to manufacture, distribute and sell the product and
users will be able to use the product until
2005 on highly vulnerable soils and until
2007 on less highly drained soils. EPA says
they will provide guidance on where these
vulnerable soil sites are located.
Springs BMP TAC Group - On April 4th
the group will review a 2nd draft of the
BMP document. Bud Smart of Audubon
International has joined the Group and
helped to clarify the golf section with acceptable language that uses Audubon Signature Sanctuary concepts to guide golf
course development near or in a
springshed.
2. Water -The South Florida Water Management District is in the midst of Rules
Making Workshops. Lou Conzelmann reports some questionable language that
would drive costs of new course irrigation
designs way up as water regulators want
no irrigation from one zone to water into
another (example no fairway heads could
throw water into the rough). Double heads
on greens and greens slopes is one thing,
but double heads for fairways and roughs
is another. Another issue of concern is that
on top of our proposed % reduction, there
is language prohibiting watering roughs at

Florida Golf Economic Survey: The survey has been completed and is undergoing
review of the final draft and UF/IFAS Ag
Economics Department Peer Review. As
soon as those are completed the Survey will
become a public document and posted on
the IFAS website. Pardon me if I wonder if
the 1100 golf courses who didn't bother to
respond to the survey will refrain from using the facts and figures to support their
business. NOT! Shame on those of you who
wouldn't lift a pencil to help our golf industry in Florida.
3. Education: There will be a 1/2 day
GCSAA seminar at the Poa Annua on Friday, May 10th at the Naples Beach Club.
Speaker Dr. Max Utsler - Media Relations
and the Golf Course Superintendent. There
will also be a 1/2 day GCSAA seminar in
Tampa at the FTGA Conference on Monday, September 16th. Speaker, Dr. Bob
Carrow, U of GA, his topic - "14 Ways a
Green Can Fail" The Palm Beach GCSA
will host a one day GCSAA Regional Seminar on Wednesday, October 2nd. Topic is
Seashore Paspalum by Dr. Ronnie Duncan
and the Central Florida GCSA will host a
two-day GCSAA Seminar - Spanish for
Golf Course Management 1. This year's
USGA Regional Conferences will be November 12 (Jacksonville) and November
14 (West Palm Beach).
4. Media/Public Relations - Craig
Weyandt had a successful interview session with the Public Affairs Specialist of a
local Vero Beach radio station as the reporter was treated to a wildlife filled tour
of The Moorings GC. Even she commented
she saw more wildlife than on a recent
Nature Tour. We are awaiting the broad-

cast date to hear her reactions and report
to the public.
The Orlando Sentinel is doing a multi-part
series on the Florida Water "Crisis." In the
Sunday, April 7th edition they started delving into the various water user groups.
Thanks to working with the lead reporter,
we were able to get a fair and factual accounting of golf course water use. It pays
to establish a good working relationship
with the local media, and become a verifiable, reliable, honest source.
Maintenance Field Days - Following the
lead of John Cunningham, formerly of
Martin Downs - now at Black Diamond,
Craig Weyandt and Tim Cann have held
their first Maintenance Field Days in the
Treasure Coast GCSA and report resounding success and positive feedback from
club members and crew members. These
three hope to work with GCSAA to create
a "How To" resource presentation so more
superintendents can reap the benefits of this
worthwhile internal public relations campaign. Good work guys

POA Weekend Seminar
Features Public Relations
This year's Poa event will be held on Mother's
Day weekend, May 9th through 12th at
Naples Beach Club.
This fun-filled weekend begins with the
FGCSA Spring Board Meeting on Thurday
afternoon followed by a dinner for all Florida
GCSA board members.
Friday starts with a morning seminar presented by Dr. Max Utsler from The University of Kansas. His topic is" Public Relations/The Media and the Golf Course Superintendent". Through the use of role playing, critiquing and "real-life" examples, this
seminar focuses on the role of the media, the
importance of being public relations savvy,
and the various mechanics in working with
the media. The seminar will conclude in
time for those wishing to play in The G. C.
Horn Tournament at 1:00 p.m.
The Poa Tournament will be played on Saturday this year! Shotgun start is at 8:30 a.m.
The always popular luau will be held after
the tournament on Saturday evening on the
lawn of the Beach Club. The weekend finishes up Sunday morning with a Mother's
Day Brunch at the Beach Club restaurant.

Everglades Spring
Seminar
at Naples Beach Hotel
The Everglades GCSA's Tenth Annual Turfgrass Spring Symposium at
Naples Beach Hotel maintained its tradition of quality education as it combined local, state and national speakers in a wide range of topics critical to
superintendent's continuing education.
75 attending superintendents heard
presentations from Tom Messimer,
Ph.D. who separated fact and fiction
on future water sources for golf; Renown turf breeder Dr. Milt Engelke,
Texas A&M, discussed Ultradwarf
management perspectives (thanks to
Emerald Island Turf for sponsoring Dr.
Engelke's appearance); Darren Davis
gave a blow by blow account of the
daunting task of regrassing an entire
golf course; Kevin Fletcher of
Audubon Intl. explained a strategic
approach to golf and the environment
as he challenged more Florida courses
to join the ACSP; and Marc Edelman,
J.D. discussed the latest employee issues facing employers with truth is
stranger than fiction stories of what can
go wrong in the workplace.

340 Players in 10th Annual
Envirotron Golf Classic
The Seven Rivers GCSA and Barbaron, Inc.
major sponsor, presented the 10th Annual
Envirotron Tournament on April 15th at
World Woods Golf Club. The annual
Championship donation of $13,500 by
Barbaron and the donated use of the golf
courses makes this one of the most successful statewide fundraising events.
This year's event was the biggest and best
yet. Host superintendent Mike Swinson,
CGCS, and staff had the Rolling Oaks and
Pine Barrens in superb condition for the 340
players on a weather perfect day.
The University of Florida, ever mindful and
appreciative of the support from the Seven
Rivers chapter, fielded a team of the top
administrators from the university including President Charles Young, Exec. VP Joe
Joyce, VP of Finance Ed Poppell, and VP
of IFAS Mike Martin. These guys didn't
pose a golf threat, but I hope they saw and
felt the support the industry has for the IFAS
turf program. Envirotron Chairman Glenn
Oberlander paid tribute to the sponsors and
committee members who helped make another successful event. Early estimates had
proceeds approaching $70,000.

Florida Green Section Regional Update: The Winter Season is Coming to an End
by John Foy and Todd Lowe. Updated April 16, 2002
Sf ring has sprung, we are back on Daylight Saving Time, and the Florida swing
of the PGA has come and gone. For clubs
and courses throughout South and Central
Florida all of these factors mark the end of
the winter play season.

practices. Temperatures have been relatively warm this spring and this has resulted
in an early overseeding transition. So far
the transition out of the winter overseeding
cover and back to the base bermuda has
been going smoothly.

During recent TAS visits around the state
we have noted that at most facilities play
has started to drop off as the snowbirds
head back north. For those of us that live
year round in Florida, the end of the winter season is welcomed because traffic on
the highways declines, lines in restaurants
and stores are shorter, and we can get out
and enjoy the courses.

As this annual process is completed the
hated but absolutely essential programs
such as core aeration will be undertaken.
Another hot topic during course visits at
this time is pest control. Along with weeds
and nematodes, control strategies for mole
crickets are getting a lot of discussion.

Reduced play and the return of good
bermudagrass growing weather means it is
time to implement various programs and

We recently had an opportunity to learn
about an exciting new program performed
for southern golf courses by Bayer Corporation. The program is called Scout Smart
and it is used to determine the optimum

window of application to control mole
crickets. Mole crickets live within the soil,
and their burrowing activities are disruptive. The best time to apply insecticides for
mole cricket control is just following egg
hatch. The Bayer intern, Jeff Edenfield, determines this timing by flushing the mole
crickets to the soil surface and checking
the eggs within the females. Egg size, color
and hardness is determined, which yields
an approximate time period to apply the
pesticide.
With the data collected throughout the
state, Bayer scientists are attempting to
determine appropriate degree-day models
for mole cricket hatches. If successful, environmental cues like soil temperature can
be used as tools to determine pesticide application for mole cricket control.
