SEPTEMBER 1948

The scene of the August greenkeeper meeting
and championship took place at the Wollaston
Golf Club, North Quincy, Mass. Host Greenkeeper
was Arthur Cody. Through the courtesy of the
Clapper Co., a Friend Power Sprayer was demonstrated by Joseph C. Fiorelli, the factory sales
representative. This 200 gallon sprayer will be a
necessity on the golf course, due to the fact that
a greater control is needed to combat the large
number of insects that are injurious to fine turf,
namely the Japanese Beetle, which has already
been reported in the Attleboro and Franklin area.
There are still a few members who are not attending the monthly meetings. Your reasons cannot be greater than the value of free knowledge
that is given you.
The business meeting was called to order by
President Philip I. Cassidy. Routine business was
acted upon. The application of Carmen D. Capozzi, Norfolk Golf Club, Dedham, Mass,, was
read and will be voted upon at the next regular
meeting.
