"On To The Country Club"
It's on to the famous battlefield where a skinny kid immortalized himself on a solemn September day. On to The
Country Club come the third day of this June for the annual
tournament of the golf course superintendents of New England and the golf club-slinging; overseers of their artistry, the
grounds and green chairmcn.
But what of this skinny kid? Francis Ouimet, that was
his name. The name of the event was the United States Open
and it was American only by identity of the host. For those,
who collected medals, money and championships, the British
were still coming and coming on strong.
Those were glorious times for proper Bostonians who
crowded the membership book at the sacred playing area of
The Country Club. Ouimet turned their heads on that afternoon of September 20, 1913. He had tied the British bullies,
Harry Vardon and Ted Ray, at the end of regulation play
with the Open title sent into overtime. It was Ouimet against
the world, or so it seemed to be because the British were
favored to tan his hide.
However, Ouimet grew tall on the tee and accurate on the
greens. He whipped the two invaders in a three-headed
playoff to become the first United States amateur to master
the Bulls and bring home the bacon. Through the streets of
Boston that night his name could have been John L. Sullivan.
Ouimet had licked "anyone in the house."
It is for this feat that The Country Club lies as a monument to American golfing genius. And through the succeeding
years, even though it has retained its crusty facade of social
superiority, the course has become an integral part of golf's
continuing rise in this country.
The Country Club has had its moments of embarrassment.
A Connecticut swinger, who had brought plaudits to New
England for another success in the Open, once was denied
admission to the golfing grounds because he wasn't in company of a member. Some time later Julius Boros didn't have
to have anyone sign for him at the pro shop. If he had been
required to gain clearance, all of the membership would have
claimed him as a personal guest. At that moment Boros was
in the midst of capturing his second National Open, crack-

ing through the fierce attack of Arnold Palmer and the stubborn staying power of Jacky Cupit. Boros was king of a
second three-way playoff, exactly 50 years after the Ouimet
ascension to glory.
The Boros photo-finish victory at The Country Club came
on the heels of other interesting asides to the tournament.
One was a rather unkind assessment of the tricky layout
which was to be the early burial place of defending champion
Jack Nicklaus, a S6-hole casualty in missing the cut at a score
of 153. Nicklaus didn't voice the remark. But it went like
this . . . "The Country Club? . . . That's where the elephants
go to die." (No pun intended on the size of Nicklaus).
Before any of the 1963 swings, however, a hero of another
breed came forth to earn hurrahs and applause. Early that
year the USGA pondered the idea of moving its Open to
another course. The winter had been bitter to The Country
Club's condition. Superintendent John Kelty would have no
part of surrender. He told USGA executive director Joe Dey
he would bring back the fairways and greens.
Thosg were hard times for everyone at the club. It would
have been an absolute permanent stain on the sacred scroll
which houses the Country Club's history. Members engaged
in a prolonged vigil to cheer on the progress of Kelty and
his crew. When finally the tournament dates arrived, the
course was presented to the field in sparkling state. Kelty had
worked a minor miracle. The Country Club members could
throw their noses into the air once again because their course
superintendent had come through in shining colors.
Kelty no longer is part of the scene. Jim Macdonald, who
will be the guide for the touring supers and chairmen June
3, has taken over in noble style. Jim has been at The Country
Club for four years, two of them as assistant -to Kelty. He's
carrying on in the same tradition of furnishing an impeccableproduct for the membership. He promises he'll have the same
type of battlefield set for his colleagues in this much-awaited
event.
So, supers and friends, it's on to The Country Club. And,
a closing note to the members of this Taj Mahal in the middle
of the starched collar district . . . " I f anything, we promise
not to drink the water from the finger bowls."

DESSICATION - SEVERE THIS WINTER
Golf courses in parts of the Northeastern and Middle Atlantic States suffered severe dehydration overwinter. This
was the first time this area was blasted so severely in years;
in fact, it is the most severe case since 1933 according to some
of the veteran area superintendents. DESICCATION resulted because of the lack of protective snow cover, the lack of
precipitation, and because of the high, drying winds that blew
incessantly during January, February and March. This caused
the shallow rooted Poa Annua and bentgrasses to dry out,
become weak, and turn a crisp brown color. At this writing
(in mid-April), recovery has been only fair because of the
continued strong, drying winds and lack of warmth and rain.
High areas are mainly affected, while greens protected by
terrain or trees came through with hardly a blemish.
WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT? For the most part recovery
should be good but it will be slow . . . slower than in a normal
spring . . . possibly four weeks slower. In the meantime, it is
advisable to syringe greens daily using the same technique
as for summer wilt. Weak areas may also require brushing,
renovation in the form of spiking or aeration, or light grooving prior to seeding, fertilizing and topdressing. Then syringe
lightly until germination is complete — this will also help th6
weak grasses to recover. Weak areas on fairways mainly
require light irrigation, but some renovation here may also
be necessary.
We trust this will be helpful in understanding the problem
and to say that in dealing with it, PATIENCE is the byword.

May Meeting
The first outdoor meeting was held at Joe R-ybka's Thorney
Lea in Brockton. We all enjoyed a fine meal and a good round
of golf. At the business meeting various communications
were read and then we had an open discussion period about
the various problems at hand. Snowmold prevention methods
were discussed by Nary Sperandio of the Concord Country
Club and also he explained the problems of skimobile damage
at his course. He told of the dead areas left by the ski tracks.
Matt Spokas told us of his liquid fertilization program whereby he applies 7 lbs. of nitrogen per 1,000 square feet to his
Marion fairways a year at the Middleton Golf Club. Leon
St.Pierre read the bill that had gone to the State House on
vandalism
on golf courses. However, the bill was turned
down because the fines were thought to be too severe. We
will try for this again next year.

The tournament was highlighted by Dave Barber's eagle 3

The elm trees in New England have been of concern to us
since about 1941 when it was noticed that many of them
were dying. A great deal of research and study have gone
into the cause and to try and save the elm. You have probably read much about the Dutch Elm Disease caused by the
fungus, Ceratastomella ulmi, and spread by the bark beetles,
threatening our elm trees. Most of us know the symptoms of
the disease including: wilting, curling, yellowing, and early
falling of leaves, and the brown streaking of the infected
wood. Trees may die suddenly or gradually. A wood-staining
fungus living in the water conducting channels causes the
disease. Death of the trees results from a toxin produced by
the fungus and gummosis in the water-conducting vessels. The
small European and native elm bark beetles serve as carriers
of the fungus and they engrave breeding galleries in weakened
trees and later the young emerge to feed in tender green twigs.
Other means of spreading include direct contact between diseased and healthy trees, natural graft, of roots, etc.
Trees affected with Dutch Elm Disease may appear similar
to elms afflicted with other troubles. It has been brought to
my attention that there is a disease known as "Wet Wood"
or "Slime Flux", (Erwinia Nimipressuralis) ; (Pirone, Dodge,
and Rickett). It is a bacterial disease appearing as wilt and
the branches die back. The general health of the tree is greatly affected, as there is considerable fermentation pressure
built up in the tree, it may build up as much as 20 pounds
pressure, and the tree tends to bleed at any weak point on
the trunk or branches, particularly at the crotches. This makes
a gray, white streak running down the outer bark of the tree.
This is one easy way of telling if the disease is present.
There is no cure for the disease but the tree can be kept
alive and effects of the disease kept to a minimum by boring
a tap hole at the base of the tree to release the pressure,
about the same as you would tap a maple tree). Fertilizing
the tree at this time is advisable, to help the tree regain its
health and growth.
In addition to the tapping and fertilizing, a third and optional benefit is cutting out the diseased area in the crotch
or base where the bleeding occurs and painting the area to
prevent further spread of the bacteria. The first two steps
are by far the most important.
There may be other insects or diseases affecting the trees
in your area and it is a good idea to show interest in this
problem and do something about it. You should contact the
right people to help you. When you see this happening to
trees in your area, you should contact your Town or State
agency, or the Department of Natural Resources in your area.
Get him to come out and have a look, and follow his advice.
We should all try to take care of the trees we have already,
because as we well know, it takes years to grow another and
it will never be the same as the old one was.
My thanks to Mr. "Dick" Stevens, Skyline Garden Center,
Springfield, Vermont and to Mr. Malcolm O. McKenzie, University of Massachusetts for the information I gathered to
write this article.

THE GOLF COURSE SUPERINTENDENT
INVENTOR, INNOVATOR
By John Barry, Superintendent Abenaqui Golf Club
O n most golf courses today the primary problem is finding
adequate help to maintain the course as it should be; add to
this the new construction and the repair of worn areas and
the problem becomes out of hand.
It is for the above reasons, and for the fact that when
equipment breaks down the parts are not often right at hand,
that this article is written.
Today the golf course superintendent is getting more recognition for his abilities as a professional in the turf industry,
in respect to maintenance of large areas. Unfortunately, more
often than not, many people do not realize what goes on in
the maintenance garage when the equipment is in storage.
Most superintendents today keep a precise record of the
condition of their equipment but the unexpected always arises,
and just when you need that particular piece of equipment
most. If a repair part cannot be found in a relatively short
time there is only one thing to do: rework another part to fit.
Many labor-saving devices have been invented in the past
few years by the superintendent because of the drain 011
manpower created by industry. Today, work that at one time
required three men requires only one or two men for the
same results or, in most instances, a better job.
By invention and innovation, I do not only mean with respect to equipment, but rather with regard to equipment and
course maintenance. Every golf course is an individual and has
to be treated as such; thus no two golf courses require the same
equipment. If one golf course has a large area to maintain that
requires a special piece of equipment, it would be practical
for it to buy that piece; but if a superintendent has only a
small area to maintain, it would prove to his benefit to rework
an old piece of equipment, or redesign the area.
Many changes in equipment have been suggested by the
superintendent to the salesmen of various companies, in order
for equipment to be safer and more efficient to use. As a
result, research has increased sharply in the equipment
industry.
At the same time, the design of golf courses has taken on
a new consideration: maintenance. N o golf course can be
beautiful unless it can be maintained sufficiently. Most golf
courses being built today have a construction superintendent
who will stay on after the course is built, to maintain it,
and no superintendent wants additional headaches because of
improper construction or design.

Club.

The Association

is

grateful to Fred Nanny for being host.
Contrary to predictions by the editor and other illuminati,
winter injury in Maine has been rather severe. In addition to
loss of annual bluegrass in many areas, loss of basic grasses
i n greens, tees, fairways and home lawns has been most pronounced. The injury appears to be located in hollows and
caused by a ice layer, but the thickness' and duration of the
ice layer this year were much less than usual. During December there was a lot of time when the ground was uncovered
and some cold winds swept over frozen ground. It is possible that a combination effect of early desiccation and later
ice layer cover has produced such widespread

damage.

It

was agreed that our understanding of winter injury is very
incomplete, and that were it better we would unlikely be able
to have coped with conditions to any great extent, especially
when most courses operate seasonally.
- Spring season has been almost unprecedentedly early, with
snow gone in late March, ice-out on lakes very early, and the
occurrence of many days of sustained fair weather and moderate temperatures. Courses were opened for play as early as
April 6, much earlier than the usual season kick-off at Brunswick Golf Club on April 19. A t this writing exfoliation of
trees is well along and two weeks earlier than usual. Rainfall
has continued about normal.

IS WHITE FINE THE ONLY TREE
FOR GOLF COURSE PLANTING?
Maine is called the Pine Tree State for good reason, since
white pine seems so abundant, at least in the southern half
of the state, and the history of lumbering is largely that of
harvesting the great primeval stand of huge white pine trees
for ship masts and planking.
Upon visiting Maine's golf courses one sees that this
species has long been used for planting into groups to separate holes, protects tees and greens, etc., and that selection of
this pine continues unabated for use on newer courses. Since
they are "free" for the digging, it is understandable that they
are used almost exclusively.
Aside from the monotony of using one species for planting,
white pine has the disadvantage of being hard to establish on
open windswept areas, which new golf courses usually are.
It is not uncommon to see 50-75% loss of transplants, and
those that will make it grow rather slowly compared with
those in a. full stand growing naturally.
Red or Bull pine ( P i n u s resinosa)
is native to Maine and
deserves planting on open golf course areas. It has a much
fuller bole when young, is more tolerant to dry soil and windy
conditions, and not so subject to breakage from wind or
snow. The best stand known to the editor is that at the
"Orchards" golf course in South Hadley, Massachusetts. The
great beauty of this golf course is due in large measure to
this stand of red pine.
Scotch pine (P. sylvestris)
is a smaller European tree that
is fully hardy i n northern Maine and rarely seen on New
England's golf courses. Its smaller stature, silvery green foliage and ruddy bark make it a beautiful tree indeed.
Colorado blue spruce is the best spruce to put out in open
areas and fully hardy. It makes a striking stand, as seen on
the Lake Sunapee golf course, although slow growing.
While these other species are not free for the digging, small
plants are available for a low. price from the state forestry or
commercial wholesale nurseries and can easily be lined out
for future planting on a golf course.

"A NEW HEADACHE
From all apparent signs, it appears the golf course superintendent shall have to exist in the same world with a sworn
enemy . . . the mechanized monster, the golf cart.
The life expectancy of this renegade of the machine age has
far surpassed the initial and hopeful expectations of the super.
Thus, it looks as though it shall join other such 20th century
comforts as being immortal.
So, just as long-as it doesn't expand the boundaries of its
original purpose, we must learn to live with it. In the same
light of acceptance the golfer, too, must learn of its deadly
properties in regard to the well being of the golf course. If
he doesn't abuse the use of it, the super can cope with its
presence.
That fact established, country clubs now must take notice
of a new creeping inequity which seems to be accompanying
increase in number and likewise a staggering hike in the use
of the golf cart. The new problem constitutes sort of a sneak
punch. It concerns the task of maintenance, so far only a
local instance of occurrence but definitely a threat to become
a universal burden on the superintendent.
A quick survey of the New England Association reveals that
country clubs and public courses are running about 50-50
in placing the responsibility of upkeep and its surrounding
duties on the superintendent. In the same show of hands it
also is interesting that the count leaps to 100 percent in matter of the superintendent receiving additional compensation
for an additional item on his daily agenda. That's 100 percent in the negative!
One particular case should be cited so as to point out the
possibility that the superintendent must take a vigorous stand
against this unfair exchange of services rendered and returns
given. The case super suddenly has been presented the care
and upkeep of some 30 golf carts. His budget has been increased to the tune of enough money to provide the working
hours involved in transporting the carts to and from their

storage area. He only wishes the new drain on his attention
Started and stopped there.
It doesn't. He must see to it that each cart is regularly
serviced which includes a multitude of checkpoints. Then, he
must take care of registration, insurance and the immediate
recall of those carts which break down in the middle of a
round.
His reward for such a rash of his demands on his already
bone-p"icked-dry energy and time can be counted only in complaints. If a cart should suffer a breakdown or doesn't perform according to the standards of the member, the super
is to blame.
To add further fuel for an uninspired approach to this
new headache the golf pro at the club is compensated for a
contribution of magnanimous proportions, that of writing
up the trip ticket and billing the member. In this isolated
look at the situation the pro gets one dollar for every cart
which goes off the first tee.
This could be construed as the extreme in the case of the
supers against the golf cart. But a further study of existing
conditions in relation to the maintenance of carts shows the
aforementioned example to be the rule rather than the exception.
Club officials, then, should take the complete picture into
mind as far as the "split of the take" on golf carts is concerned. Certainly a flagrant inequity exists in the present
state of the superintendent inheriting more work and responsibility while the pro reaps the gain.
It should be remembered the super didn't want the golf
cart in the first place. To compound his irritation over its
presence with a gross piece of injustice on the scales of remuneration insults his already underrated integrity. This new
headache will not be remedied with a dose of aspirin. Rather
it should be stamped out with use of a simple equation. More
work plus more responsibility equals more compensation.

loaded against success. The climate,- soil and rainfall all favor
trees rather than grass. Any year in which a New England
farmer fails to cut hay, he has started his hayfield on the road
to becoming a forest.
Struggle
Through most of New England's history, the struggle to
keep the potential woodlot in front of the house from maturing has been a fun-thing — or a struggle, depending upon
one's attitude. In recent years a new element of chemical pollution has entered the spring tussle. Such potentially dangerous
chemicals as chlordane and dieldrin have been added to some
cure-all formulas. It has become necessary to read the labels
on the bags rather carefully.
What the potential New England lawn needs most is a better grade of soil and considerable
lime. Since only the lime
is readily available, one must fall back on chemical
fertilizers.
Since grasses have a yen for nitrogen, most* fastidious
lawn
builders seek a high-nitrogen
content fertilizer
— and then
overdo it in spreading the stuff. If you have a pond at the
end of the lawn, you can easily tell when you have
overdone
the nitrogen bit. The. pond ivill produce a dark green
scum
of algae.
In the end, the only persons in New England really capable
of producing a golf green turf are golf club superintendents.
They not only make a full-time career of the difficult task
but also employ expert crews to work full time at it. Even
these professionals fail often enough.
There are many lawn care manuals, but none of them
touches upon the basic element of success. That secret ingredient consists of the ability to argue well enough so that the
lawn in its present condition will be accepted by your wife.

While no statistics are available, most of us know how this

seized by the same obsession. The results we obtained never
looked like the color photo that accompanied the cure-all that

Possibly the oldest status symbol was the comparative dryness of the various caves our ancestors inhabited. But the
