Club

Rhode Island Country Club is a Donald Ross course overlooking Narragansett Bay. It is well trapped and not too hilly.
For years it has had the stature as one of the finest and most
challenging golf courses in the East. The site of two National
Women's Amateur Championships, 1924 and 1953.
It is a tough course but fair terrain depending on weather
conditions. JoAnne Gunderson Carner who, a few weeks ago
won the Women's Eastern Amateur at the club said, "When
the wind blows at R.I.C.C. it's the toughest and trickiest golf
course in the world today."
Many years ago this golf course was the home and hunting
grounds of the Wampanoag Indians. At the time this 6th hole
was rebuilt, in the large 6th fairway trap, skeletons were
found in a sitting position, adorned with emblems. The only
remaining landmark is on the east side of the 11th green, it
is a spring of water with a granite stone marker engraved,
Tom's Spring, dated 1653.
I have been with R. I. for the past six years and every
season has presented a different and difficult challenge.

The Arthur E. Anderson Super-Press Tourney got off to
an encouraging start giving the Greenmasters the opportunity
to better acquaint the golf scribes with some of the nomenclature of turfgrass terms, with words ranging from arsenicals to wilt.
We observed Arthur Anderson and Phil Cassidy, both in
a bouncy mood, giving the Twin Hills layout their stamp of
approval. They nicknamed Roy Mackintosh's little dinghy,
used for the maintenance of his ponds, the " U . S. S. Algae."
Everyone agreed that the golf course was in magnificent
condition. The Penncross greens were micrometer true. The
Merion Fescue fairways were good enough to use a brassie.
A1 Zikouris was the architect and builder of this work of art
now going into its fourth year.
Golf writers and broadcasters from all points of Massachusetts competed for the Anderson Trophy.
Harry Tynan, in charge of turfgrass production at the
Country Club of Pittsfield had a gracious lady writer, Mrs.
Lee Leahy, representing the Berkshire
Eagle.
John Espey, Sr., Superintendent at the Wolferts Roost in
Loudonville, New York, had as his guest, Lou Torre associated with the Schenectady, New York paper. John is president
of the Northeast GCSA. Espey must hold some sort of record
for belonging to the most Superintendent Associations. He
admits to being a class A member of the Connecticut, Hudson
Valley, New England, Northeast and the GCSA of America.
Mike Ovian, president of GCSA of Connecticut, honored
us by his attendance with a young golf writer from the Hartford Courant. Mike is a credit to that fine Association.

MEMORIES ARE MADE OF THIS
It was the first venture of its kind — that memorable
eighth day of last month when the super-press tournament
moved off the drawing board and became a realistic adventure
for those who lived the good life for those eventful hours at
the Twin Hills Country Club.
Everyone agreed the undertaking went off without a hitch.
The setting, the execution and the products of both staggered
the expectations of those involved in the arrangements. It was
a double-barreled success because satisfaction and enjoyment
overflowed from both sides. The supers reveled in the results.
The press boys are still singing its 'merits.
The memories of the day live on and are still vivid. Like:
The button-popping short walk to the rostrum by the revered Arthur E. Anderson when he presented the trophy,
named in his honor.
The gushy acceptance of same by a still-stupefied Matty
Spokas of Middleton. " I still can't believe Bob Feeley and I
won it", Matty pinched himself with his words. " I ' m capable
of shooting 100 on this course. This has to be one of my
luckiest days, especially when I think of those 30-foot putts
I made on the first two holes."
The competitive gusto of acting tournament chairman Ted
Murphy of Lexington who knocked on the title door with The
Boston Globe's Kevin Walsh. "Ah, those six-foot misses", Ted
was heard to moan. " I thought we had it all wrapped up. But
we'll be back. My partner was great. And how about the way
our scores crossed? We both shot 80. What a team e f f o r t ! "
The inimitable reaction of The Boston Herald's J o e Looney
when he was the center of the interview section which dwelled
on the sparkling even-par 71 of partner, Manny Francis, Jr.
of Belmont. Looney accepted a rank similar to that of a movie
director who had just guided a star to Academy Award status. His admiration of Manny was unusually convincing.
The wide-eyed reception Max Mierzwa of Chicopee gave
the fine 63 he and the Springfield Daily News' Jim Regan
toted to the scoreboard. "Mr. Regan was sensational out
there", Max exclaimed. "Naturally, he needed help", Max

^Association'
blushed. "Oh no, it can't be", Max drilled at an unsympathetic audience when it was learned Spokas and Feeley had
beaten that count by a single stroke.
The faraway drives to faraway places by Leon St. Pierre of
Longmeadow. "It's true", Leon explained. " I really don't
know where the ball is going when I hit it. But I'm playing
with a new set of clubs. I'll be used to them next year. Then
. . . watch o u t ! "
The look of relief on the face of Dean Robertson, the pessimistic overseer at Chestnut Hill. " T h i s was a huge undertaking for us", Dean tossed out after he saw that the field had
shot beyond the numbers needed to make the tournament
worthwhile. " I can see that we took a big step in our program
to become recognized. I hope this thing grows and grows."
The unforgettable performance by all the people at Twin
Hills who handled the affair in ultra-professional manner.
Pro Bob Bontempo lifted the image of the golf pro with an
expert job of making everyone feel at home. Even a couple
of Twin Hills owners were on hand to solidify the cooperation
of the club.
The welcomed appearance of Lee Leahy of The
Berkshire
Eagle who became the first woman to crash the 19th hole at
Twin Hills.
Finally, the lingering expressions of self-satisfaction by
those who initiated the thought of such a venture, notably,
that of host superintendent — Roy Mackintosh — who had
his heart set on making this a day to remember. From him
and the rest . . . a warm thank you and strong reason t&
dream of bigger things along this line in the future.

NEW ENGLAND SUPERINTENDENTS VISIT
O. M . SCOTT A N D SONS, MARYSVILLE, O H I O
Pictured below are several New England superintendents
who were recently guests of 0 . M. Scott and Sons. The trip
consisted of a tour of Scott's fertilizer and seed plants, seed
technology labs, and several experimental turf plots that are
presently under Scott's turf research program.

The July meeting of the New Hampshire Golf Course Superintendents' Association was held at the Maplewood Golf
Club in Bethlehem, N. H. Hosts of the day were (1. to r.)
Ray Johnson, Supt.-Owner, and his family: David, age 13,
Mrs. Johnson, and Robert, age 16; and pro Ralph K. Ebling.
The Johnsons bought the Maplewood Golf Club in the
spring of 1963. The club had been built in 1895 by architect
Donald Ross and has hosted five state amateur tournaments.
At one time there was the large Maplewood Hotel, which
burned in the winter of 1963, shortly before the Johnsons
purchased the club.
Ray is the Superintendent, his wife, Ruth, takes care of the
club snack bar, David does miscellaneous work around the
club, and Robert mows the greens. Pro Ralph Ebling runs
the pro shop and gives golf lessons.

OUTDOOR LAVATORY

A golf course that needs a toilet on the course should consider a Glashouse Lavatory. They are clean looking and attractive with a choice of white, green, beige, and yellow
colors. Glashouse is sanitary because fiberglass is easy to
clean and will not retain odors. It is comfortable, complete
with moulded seats, and bright as day inside due to a skylight. There is no need to paint exteriors. For further information write ChicSales Company, Box 373, Costa Mesa,

Summer " b e g a n " on June 30 with a bright, hot, windy
day following a spell of cool rainy weather. Grass was lush
and subject to wilt during the next week. Despite hand watering some aprons of annual bluegrass lost turf due to the
extraordinary change in weather. Disease has been a minor
factor despite the rainy spell, and the tourist season finds
Maine's courses in rather good condition considering the
large amount of winter injury experienced.

NOTES O N PESTICIDE STUDIES
While visiting friends in Denver on the return from San
Francisco, the editor learned of a Federally-funded pesticide
study program that has been underway for several years in
18 locations. The main work of this program is to gather information about the effects of pesticides on people and animals,
the buildup of pesticide residues in our environment, and to
form guidelines for future research and regulation and control of pesticide use. The centers are doing rather sophisticated research, even analysing vacuum cleaner dust from
private residences to document the relentless increase of D D T
in our surroundings.
What a great change has taken place in our attitude toward
pesticides and other chemicals and toward the entire problem
of pollution of our environment since Rachel Carson's Silent
Spring was published. Hardly a day goes by without notice
of concern about pollution
all the way from nuclear bomb
fallout to backyard charcoal grille smoke.
In Maine there is deep concern about pollution even though
our environment is much less contaminated than that of most
all eastern states. The prevailing attitude seems not to be that
of boasting about our clean countryside but one of optimism
since our problem is more finite, and we can clean up our
major rivers and reduce other forms of pollution more effectively and much less expensively than other areas can. Action
is already underway on our rivers and pollution sources affecting clam beds.
A serious lapse in control of river pollution has just blown
up in the faces of its perpetrators with the arbitrary damming
of the Prestile Stream in northern Maine by Canadians who
no longer wished such bad water to flow in from America.
Favorable action has begun to reduce pollution of this stream,
as it dawns upon all concerned that a clean environment
comes ahead of industrial development.
Documentation by our Fish and Game Department that
DDT had polluted Sebago Lake and greatly reduced its salmon
population led to control of DDT usage in the watershed and
now, several years later, to a spectacular comeback of salmon.
Last year in the northern forest an area badly infested with
spruce budworm was sprayed with DDT, and its effects were
studied. This year another area has been sprayed with "Sumithion" for comparative studies with the area covered with
DDT. Although much more costly "Sumithion" has a lower
toxicity in fish and will break down chemically after a time.
This is an example in efforts to replace DDT and other pesticides that are chemically stable and potentially dangerous
through buildup by other materials that will not leave future
residues to cause unknown problems.

40 DAYS A N D 40 NIGHTS
Maybe it wasn't as severe as the biblical version of 40 days
and 40 nights of pitter-patter. But the extended rain season
of early summer here in the East wrought comparable damage, if your inclinations fall in the realm of the golf course
superintendent.
Lee Record, he being the Northeast agronomist for the
United States Golf Association, found the ravages of the rains
to be headachish to virtually every super he encountered during a recent survey of the splashed area.
"Incidence of wet wilt exceeded our estimation", Lee tells.
" I n most cases there wasn't any solution, other than to pray
for periods of dry weather. Then, it would be up to nature to
heal its own wounds."
Thus, wet wilt qualifies as the disease of the year, as far
as the Eastern Seaboard is concerned. It is a more tragic
circumstance than such setbacks as snow mold and winter
kill, the two killers which show off their victims in the spring.
"Wet wilt seems more disturbing", Record reveals. "Those
other things, the mold and winter kill, we more or less expect. True, there are remedies which when applied properly
prevent some mold. But it has become an annual assumption
. . . that the two shall hit us somewhere."
It is the improbability of wet wilt which gives it a dirtier
name. " I n the East we haven't had too much occasion to
bother about wet wilt", Lee says. " I n recent years the cycle
has been centering on dry seasons. Maybe three or four years
ago we might have welcomed such a thing as wet wilt because
our fairways were so scorched. However, with a return to
provisions for adequate administering of moisture, wet wilt
or scald — as it is sometimes called — is just about the most
unwelcome visitor to a golf course."
The solving of this problem is something else. "Of course,
there is only one way to avoid wet wilt", Lee explains. "That
is to install a foolproof drainage system where there is no
accumulation of water. This method, by its own invention, is
virtually free from attack of wet wilt. But there's one hitch.
In order to have a situation where all waters are prevented
from collecting, the drainage cost is staggering. In fact, you
ROUGHS A N D FRINGES (Continued]
Gerry Finn, the GCSA of N E contributing editor, and Leon
St. Pierre launched the event off the first tee at 10 A. M.
after being driven from the parking lot to the pro shop, in
an electric cart chauffeured by nattily green-vested boys from
the Twin Hills staff.
Twenty-six official teams took a crack at the Arthur E.
Anderson Trophy in temperatures and humidity fit only for
"boiler tenders."
Dick Blake handled the M.C. duties at the banquet like a
real trooper.
As we left the massive Twin Hills club house and called
it a day, we met Dr. Joe Troll and Lee Record in the parking lot area. A question was posed to the two turf experts
on their preference for light summer feeding of nitrogen on
poa-bent greens. Joe favored light applications of Urea 45,
something like 1 / 1 6 to l/ 8 lb. of Nitrogen to 1,000 sq. ft.
Lee favored an application of sulphate of ammonia 1 to 2
lbs. of material to a green every 7 to 10 days.
Lee Record, the U S G A agronomist suggested that fairway
renovation should not start until August 1st.
The next big event will take place at Stratton Mountain,
Vermont. Casey Rowley and the Northeast GCSA have invited
the New England Association and their wives for an all day
outing — golf, tennis, swimming and antique shopping.
Casey promises the city boys some cool air and good
cheer. After all the adverse weather conditions of May, June
and July, I think we will take him up on his invitation.

would have to travel far to find a course blessed with a complete drainage defense."
For the most part Record believes wet wilt must be handled
as an unwanted but all-powerful malady. "Actually, when wet
wilt occurs most of us agree that we must learn to live with
it", Record notes. "There is a way of fighting it, other than
drainage . . . but it is very risky."
Record's experiences show that wet wilt, or the effects of
it, can be reduced by a rather improbable weapon. "It's
water", Lee laughed. "Under certain conditions water on
water can release enough oxygen to save the plant and encourage speedy healing. But the application of the water must
be perfect in matter of quantity and timing. It is extremely
dangerous because too much water will work in reverse, extending the damage of the original batch of wet wilt."
The USGA representative is strong in his conviction that
water — when applied without discipline — is an explosive
in the hands of uneducated superintendents. "Irrigation systems have proven that proper control is mandatory", Record
warned. " I have seen abuse of artificial watering and ensuing
drastic results. It is almost too horrible to vision the helterskelter use of water. We (the U S G A Greens Section) may
have to do considerable research on this new problem in
order to stifle it."
Wet wilt, then, appears to be the present scourge of the
population of golf courses. What concerns Record most is
when wet wilt is man-made. He" contends the natural form
of it must be tolerated. Its more flagrant form, when it is
caused by ill-managed artificial means, he treats as one of the
cardinal sins of turf management.
