BOARD Mike Dale Director, District 1 Glenn Gallion Director, District 2 Dennis Shea Director, District 3 John Fenwick Director, District 4 Charlie Dey Director, District 6 Wayne Ballinger, CGCS Director, District 7 John Boyer Director, District 8 Dr. Henry Indyk Executive Director President's Message Bob Dickison CGCS Our field day is fast approaching on October 4th. This is our main fund raiser for the Association. We ask for the support of our commercial members, encourage the attendance of associated groups and expect the support of the superintendent. We get the support of the commercial people, have good representation from the grounds care business, but the attendance of the golf course superintendent has decreased over the past years. Your cooperation is needed to keep this day successful. Without the field day, there will be a need for a dues increase and-or a cut in membership services. Our field day helps fill a void in the local turf management industry for many people. I am sure that everyone can find something of interest and broaden their informative horizons by attending. Your attendance is needed at the field day to keep up the high quality of your association. Editor’s Note: Bob’s message isn’t any longer than usual - we just used larger type. Bob just doesn’t waste words. I should be able to learn something from him. There is a four-word formula for success that applies equally well to organizations or individuals - make yourself more useful. On the Lighter Side Do you sometimes feel “dog tired” at the end of the work day? Maybe you’re burning up more energy than you realize. These are some common forms of exercise, and the number of calories consumed per hour: Beating around the bush - 75; jogging the memory -125; jumping to conclusions -100; climbing the wall - 150; swallowing pride - 50. Passing the buck - 25; grasping at straws - 75; beating your own drum -100; throwing your weight around - 300; turning the other cheek - 75. Wading through the paperwork - 300; eating crow - 225; dragging your heels -100; pushing your luck - 250. From the Editor's Desk Well, now that most of the smoke has cleared and Jim McLoughlin’s tenure as our National Executive Director is over, where do we, as association members, stand? I personally feel Jim was an asset to us. He made us take a more positive look at ourselves and made others, within the golf industry, take the golf course superin­ tendent’s position seriously. We needed what Jim was able to provide. If Jim had a flaw, it was with the pace he expected us to follow his lead. He was an over-achiever in a position that had been, for as long as I can remember, held by under-achievers. He is a progressive, conscientious, hard working individual who, given the right set of circumstances, can provide the leadership and direction necessary for a high-standard, goal- oriented organization. I am not suggesting the GCSAA is not geared toward improvement, but that the pace must be slower, more thought out and possibly, better explained. We have, without a doubt, the best staff we ever had. Zahid, Jim, Chip, John, Mark, Chris, Diana, Ron, and all the other staff members are top quality people who, with proper direction, can provide our membership with the best in services. We must look at our present situation and location, evaluate it and develop goals that will meet our professional and possibly personal needs. I am hopeful our Executive Committee is thinking along these lines right now. Jim McLoughlin brought a dignity to our profession that was missing. We should feel more professionally accepted because of his efforts and for that we all owe him a debt of thanks. Why Do Leaves Change Color? One of the reasons why leaves change color in autumn is the fact that chlorophyll is no longer being produced by the leaf. This causes the other pigments (colors) of the leaf to be seen. Remember, when a leaf changes color, it is not necessarily dead; dead leaves turn brown. For a leaf to turn yellow, the predominant pigments are carolin and xanthophyll. These pigments were always present, but were masked by the chlorophyll (green). When leaves turn red or scarlet, the pigment anthocyanin is in abundance. The factors that are needed to produce good red fall color are bright sunny days and cool nights, below 45o. A cloudy, rainy, warm fall makes for poor autumn color.

Here they come, so please sit down! Q: My greens are a very blotchy green. In some spots it is even somewhat yellow. What is wrong? T.D., Zoysia, N.J. A: They are probably suffering from iron deficiency anemia. Tank mix two tablespoons of Geritol per 1,000 sq. ft. of greens to be sprayed. This should be repeated every week, especially if your greens are under stress and are excessively active. W.W. Q: Last year I lost the GCSANJ Championship at Spring Lake C.C. by six strokes. What do you suggest I do this year at Rumson in order to win? P.S., Raceway Park, Englishtown, N.J. A: Skip a hole on both the front and back nine. W.W. Q: Would you recommend the use of activated charcoal for neutralizing the effects of overdoses of preemergence herbicides? D.E.P., Trenton, N.J. A: Absolutely! Because if it doesn’t neutralize the herbicide, at least you’ll be able to barbecue your greens. W.W. Q: What is the “Greensakeep’s Law of Direct Ratio with Diminishing Returns?” Q.B., Palm Springs, N.J. A: A field study that has culminated over the last 20 years has proven that the more important a Golf Tour­ nament and-or an outing is, the fewer number of green department em­ ployees show up for work, this ratio increases as you progress further into the summer.

The History of Golf in America The U.S.G.A. is Born at Belmont bought the Patrick farm in Wheaton, IL the following year for the sum of $28,000. Macdonald’s design at Wheaton drew raves from the small but growing golf public - the Chicago Golf Club has hosted more championships than any club in the country. By the turn of the century 26 clubs were operating in the area. The Chicago vicinity can take its place in the history of American golf - they possessed the first 18- hole golf course and at Wheaton the out-of- bounds rule was created. Macdonald, who was a natural slicer - created a course to his own game - without regard for a player hitting a hook. Many found their shots in the neighbors’ cornfields, so to placate the farmer, the rule was installed. Next time - some of the grand old men of early American golf. CREDIT: Mark Curtin, CGCS,Editor of the Bonnie Greensward-PAGCS As golf flourished in the United States in the period between 1870-1880, it became only natural that championships would be held. And they were and it was because two clubs, St. Andrews at Yonkers and the Newport Golf Club, held U.S. Amateur Championships in 1894 that the USGA was created. Henry Tallmadge, Secretary at St. Andrews, wished to avoid the em­ barrassment of dual championships being held - particularly one at match play and the other using medal play - and in December of 1894 invited representatives of five clubs to dinner in New York. The charter members of the newly formed U.S. Amateur Golf Association were St. An­ drews, Newport Golf Club, Shinnecock Hills Golf Club, Chicago Golf Club, and the Country Club at Brookline in Massachusetts. This group was soon to become the United States Golf Association. The USGA held their first championships the following year at Newport Golf Club. The first day the U.S. Amateur was played and won by Charles Blair Macdonald. The following day the U.S. Open was played and won by a young assistant pro at Newport, Horace Rawlins. Mr. Rawlins won $150 and a gold chain. In November of 1895 the first U.S. Women’s Championships were held. Mrs. Charles Brown won the event by shooting a 69-63-132 at the Meadowbrook Club of Long Island. With the creation of individual cham­ pionships, the USGA became the governing body of golf in the United States - soon the group became the rule making body as well. In actual fact the rules created by the USGA were patterned, with few exceptions, after the rules of St. Andrews in Scotland. As the stature of the USGA grew and their rules were accepted, the group became the undisputed leader in American golf. The story of golf’s move westward can be closely linked to the first amateur cham­ pion, C.B. Macdonald. Macdonald, a native Chicagoan, was sent as a youth to Scotland to study at the United Colleges of St. Salvador and St. Leonard. His grandfather took him to Tom Morris’ shop at St. An­ drews, secured him a locker and outfit, and sent him out to learn the game. Soon the affair blossomed. On his return to Chicago, Macdonald found little enthusiasm for golf. It was not until the Chicago World Fair of 1892, when the presence of many Britishers, encouraged a passion for things British. Golf was one and found a foothold among some prominent Chicagoans. One of these, Hobart Chatfield Taylor, built a seven-hole course on his estate and asked Macdonald to design it. Although the plot was far too small, the experience reawoke Mac­ donald’s youthful passion for the game. He was soon organizing, among his friends at his downtown club, the Chicago Club, a plan to build a course. With ten dollars from thirty friends, macdonald built a nine-hole course in Belmont, IL in 1894. The following spring, he added nine more holes. En­ couraged by the spreading popularity of the game, Macdonald and a group of investors Match the Golf Course with Its Original Architect • White Trap Sand • Top-Dressing Sand • Colorful Cart Path Stone • Landscape Stone & Boulders • Variety of Pavers & Edging Geo.

Crump Pete Dye New Jersey Turfgrass Association Working for You Thanks to the New Jersey Turfgrass Association, a research facility and con­ ference room is being completed at Hort Farm 2, Ryders Lane, Cook College, Rutgers University. This facility, for Dr. Reed Funk and other turfgrass researchers, has been made possible by the $31,000.00 donation of the New Jersey Turfgrass Association. The facility contains a temperature controlled seed storage room, a chemical storage room, a spacious work area and a con­ ference room to be used by Rutgers per­ sonnel, the New Jersey Turfgrass Association and allied groups. This facility is a welcomed sight to those research professors at Rutgers and is a tribute to all of the members of the New Jersey Turf­ grass Association for their participation in various fund raising events over the years. 1983 also brings with it the birth of an Economic Impact Study of turfgrass in the State of New Jersey. Presently the foun­ dation is being laid for such an undertaking. The New Jersey Turfgrass Association is working with various state organizations and Rutgers personnel to lay the ground­ work for such an enormous task. Such an economic study will prove beneficial to all of those involved in the turfgrass industry. The New Jersey Expo will be held at Resorts International, Atlantic City, N.J., this year on December 5th through 9th. The program proves to be extremely interesting and you will be receiving notification on this in the immediate future. The New Jersey Turfgrass Association is working for you! Ten Commandments for Living with People 1. Speak to people. Nothing is so nice as a cheerful greeting. 2. Smile at people. Takes 72 muscles to frown, 14 to smile. 3. Call people by name. Sweetest sound is one’s own name. 4. Be friendly and helpful. If you want friends, be a friend. 5. Be cordial. Speak and act to prove everything you do is a genuine pleasure. 6. Be genuinely interested in people. Just try and you can like almost everyone. 7. Be generous with praise - and courteous with criticism. 8. Be considerate with others. There are often three sides to a controversy: yours, his, and the right side. 9. Be alert to give help . . . what we do for others lives and is immortal. 10. Add to all this a good sense of humor, loads of patience, a dash of humility and you will be rewarded many fold. A baseball coach once rebuked a con­ fident player who said their team would win because it had “the will to win”. “Don’t kid yourself,” said the coach. “The will to win is important, but it isn’t worth a nickel unless you also have the will to prepare.” CHIP SHOTS Shaun Barry invited Dennis DeSanctis to play in a member-guest tournament at Tamarack G.C. this past August. As a team they shot eleven under par. Great day but no prizes! Glenn Gallion, Pascack Brook G.C. is putting the finishing touches on a newly constructed green. Looks good Glenn! A touch of class at Pascack Brook. Bruce Peoples, Howell Park G.C., is in the process of rebuilding the third hole. The project involves rerouting the fairway and reconstructing a fairway trap. Bruce has just recently been engaged to Janet Spears of Middletown, N.J. Congratulations Bruce! It’s about time. John Emmolo, Haworth C.C., has replaced more fairway heads than imaginable this past summer. If patience is a virtue, then John is a saint. Irrigation head problems have made his summer more than interesting. John Schollner, Essex County C.C., has looked great all summer and is very much looking forward to hosting the Seventh Annual Invitational Tournament. The District 4 picnic was recently held at Copper Hill G.C. with six or seven supers in attendance and 25 people all together. Jim Snow, U.S.G.A., was there along with Elaine Fogerty and the new Hunterdon County Extension Agent. The festivities brought out Fran Berdine who hasn’t been seen much in that area of late. Bob Phoebus and Ray Masker were there early to play some golf. Is it true that Ralph McNeal would rather go to a Penn State-Nebraska football game than have a picnic with his friends? The District 8 June meeting was held at the Salem C.C. Joe Blocksom was the host super. A tour of the golf course was in­ cluded. The Sixth Annual Whiffle Ball Cham­ pionships, held recently on the ninth fair­ way at Hominy Hill G.C., were a success. For the first time in six years, the Steve Finamore team was dethroned as cham­ pions. Dave Lerner of Guardian Development Corp, and his lovely wife Leslie recently became the proud parents of a baby girl for the second time. Her name is Carolyn and she weighed in at a healthy 6lbs. 12 oz. Jim Dusenberg, who works for Gregg Swidersky of Hackensack G.C., became a proud papa of little Jesse this spring. Charlie Edgar, Greenacres c.C., and Marty Futyma, Fertl Soil, are in the midst of a winner-take-all crash diet. The one who loses the least will also be short $100. Ken Kubik, in spite of being over-age and over-weight, won his fifth Men’s Singles Tennis Championship in Randolph Twp. Al Foster, CGCS, is back on the job as super at the Haverstraw, N.Y., Golf Club. Al says, “The course is still under con­ struction. We hope to open in early ’84.” Best of luck, Al.
