1968—A MOST DIFFICULT YEAR FOR GRASSES

NOVEMBER, 1968

\siociation

Sponsors a n d administrators of the Lawrence S.
Dickinson Scholarship Fund — A w a r d e d yearly
to deserving Turf M a n a g e m e n t Students.

President's
Message

The rains came and the skies were overcast for most of the
spring, the sun shone very little. Grasses grew soft and weak,
they never really "hardened off." This put them at a decided
disadvantage going into the summer.

Now that the Professor Lawrence S. Dickenson trust fund has
been officially established by the
Golf Course Supt. Association of
New England, I hope that all our
members will respond in setting a
precedent by making a substantial donation to this trust fund.
The sole purpose of this fund is to increase the amount of money that will be available for scholarships to enhance aspirants
in our field.
This trust fund will allow us to increase the number of
awards given each year, and will make the awards more
substantial.
Golf Courses are still being constructed at a faster rate than
qualified Golf Course Superintendents are becoming available.
For this reason golf clubs themselves should be anxious to
contribute also. Contributions are tax deductible, so make
every effort to make a generous contribution as soon as possible.
Send contributions to our treasurer: Lou Duval, Box 3256,
Manchester, N. H. 03100.
Anthony B. Caranci, Jr.
President

The sun, high temperatures, high humidity (at nighttime
too) caused grasses to be extremely susceptible to wilt and
disease. It was impossible to irrigate without overwatering if
the grasses were to be saved. Superintendents who had automatic systems were able to get around more auickly to svringe.-*
CONTINUOUS GREEN AND FAIRWAY SYRINGING WAS
THE ORDER OF THE SEASON.. This was very unusual that
fairways should need this sort of attention. The period beginning the second week in July through early August was most
critical. Every day, week-ends included, constant and uninterrupted syringing was required in the attempt to save the grasses. Poa annua in particular. Golf car use these weeks proved
to be damaging. Tire marks turned into brown streaks and
weeds encroached. This was one period when fairways suffered
badly from car use and this unquestionably added to summer
weaknesses.
Diseases ran rampant, insect activity was high, and where
weaknesses developed, weeds were quick to encroach. Crabgrass invasion was particularly severe. In effect the crabgrass
belt moved north this summer, and the Northeast experienced
the kind of invasion that courses in the crabgrass zone normally experience. (The so-called crabgrass zone normally extends
from upper Virginia to St. Louis, Missouri, to Philadelphia).
It will take concerted effort on the part of superintendents over
the next year to control this weed.
All in all, it was one of the poorest weather years, and as a
result, one of the most difficult management years on record
for golf turfgrasses.

The Massachusetts Golf Association has sponsored legislation which has just been enacted by the Legislature (1968
Acts, C. 653) exempting most golf carts from the necessity of
registration under the motor vehicle laws. In the past, golf
carts should have been registered as motor vehicles if they
crossed a public way, even though it was for the purpose of
going from one portion of a golf course to another portion of
the same course.
The new statute reads in part as follows:
" . . . and except that a motor vehicle designed for the
carrying of golf clubs and not more than four persons
may be operated without such registration upon any way
if such motor vehicle is being used solely for the purpose
of going from one part of the property of a golf course
to another part of the property of said golf course, provided that the owner of such motor vehicle shall have filed
with the registrar a public liability policy or bond providing for the payment of damages to any person to the
amount provided by section thirty-four A due to injuries
sustained as a result of the operation of such vehicle . . . "
M.G. LA. C. 90, §9.
This legislation will be effective October 15, 1968.
All clubs which own golf carts which must travel on public
ways should consult their insurance representatives to make
certain that their comprehensive liability policies include golf
cart liability. If the club itself does not own the golf cart, the
individual owner should consult his insurance representative
for proper insurance coverage.

You name it and we've had it in '68. This has been a most
difficult year for golf turf and unquestionably one of the
toughest of all time for courses in the Northeast.

WINTER

Desiccation caused severe weaknesses on several areas of
most golf courses, greens in particular were badly affected.
Recovery was extremely slow, greens were not up to their
usual standard until mid-summer.

AUTUMN EXPECTATION
N o stirring could sever the stillness of leaves,
Brick red tulle splashed with sun, frozen thick
In the yolk light of dawn to raw ripples that edge
Wind rolled ring of lake waters. S m e a r e d slick
Is the buttery spread of brown bobbing lilies
That cling to sun topped waters, shirred
Of their beauty by wailing cold on r a p i d wings
That, wheezing and whining, has whirred
Frost beaked, through full life that snapped.
Now this stillness is waiting, despairing. This soon
Will be swept beneath-tons of soft snows, all remaining,
The wild, lonely'wail of the loon.

MEMORIAM

the recent death of his wife.

AssociationROOM FOR RECOGNITION

Sure, we're finally being recognized as something apart
from the natural growth on the golf course. But the golf superintendent need not end here in seeking his rightful due.
S o , in the vein of a suggestion, there is a proposal here to
the national organization to set up and conduct an annual
"Superintendent of the Y e a r " competition.
No, this is not intended to cast a bellow across the country
in accusing the national of dereliction of duty. On the contrary, it is merely another way of upgrading the profession,
keeping it in the public eye and bestowing a well-deserved
honor on a fellow-member.
There is something akin to such an honor, the special award
which follows a bang-up job of conditioning at sites of national championships. However, this is not the pure form of
competition groups like the P G A operate in a dual search
for the professional golfer (player) of the year and golf professional (home pro), of the year. f |
'
f As a matter of fact the superintendents might follow the
format of the P G A in selecting the home professional. It is
rather simple to conduct because of the cooperation from the
various sections of the group.
Here's how it works. Each section stages its own f o r m of
competition, selecting its particular champion for the season.
He is singularly honored by his own group and his name
entered in national competition. A committee then reviews the
resume of each sectional winner and votes on the naming of
the national champion.
Most of the ground work would have to be done by the individual groups or chapters of the national supers organization. This might entail visits to courses for on-the-scene inspection of tees, greens, fairways and bunkers. It also could
include a set of j u d g i n g standards, arranged so that wealth of
a particular club wouldn't affect the overall mark of its
superintendent.
Obviously, this is presented in the barest of sketchy forms.
What is most important is the realization that such a competition should be initiated. After that, the details can be ironed
out.
Would this be something new in the p r o f e s s i o n ? Hardly.
In Scotland an annual contest is conducted and very successfully. Over 100 courses submit entries to the competition with
cash prizes and trophies going to the winner and runnerup.
So, this is not to be construed as some top-of-the-head
brainstorm without an ounce of practicality" on which to Stand.
Usually, the British or their next of kin are miles behind us.
In this matter, though, it looks like we have some catching up
to do.
National . . . take note.

Maine Golf Course Superintendents Association
Editor — Dr. Burton R. Anderson, Route 5, Augusta,
LAST MEETING
The last meeting was held on October 1 at Riverside Golf
Course in Portland. It was an equipment field day and several
dealers brought out their wares.
The highlight was a demonstration of the triplex greensmower newly manufactured by Jacobsen. Chet Sawtelle mowed
the large practice green in less than ten minutes and attracted
the attention of numerous golfers passing by.
Later a motorized tour of the new nine-hole section of the
course was conducted by host John Davis, who has been able
to keep up with the dry weather in getting a turf cover now
full enough to allow spring opening for play.

The wonderful summer weather continued right through
September, but very little rainfall occurred until the first of
October. Fairways are still a bit light and slow to recover
from the drought and are below our usual fall quality.
This summer highlighted our worst disease problem, that
of dollar spot. During August and September there were several warm-front showers that caused a spectacular outbreak
of dollar spot and even some large brown patch. It is very
unusual for much rain to occur with passage of a warm front
in the northeastern summer; so this was a new experience for
some superintendents to see how the right weather can be
just perfect for virulent disease outbreak. Unprotected greens
suddenly got "measles" and the underfed aprons of annual
bluegrass could become badly riddled with dollar spot in just
a couple of days.
Greens protected with preventive spray programs showed
little damage, and observation of diseased aprons showed how
well the fungicides were doing to suppress disease outbreak.
It is hoped that these violent outbreaks will convert more toward adoption of preventive fungicide, for a good many got
caught badly this season. The editor, considering himself a
shrewd observer of weather conditions, used to restrict fungicide applications to times judged to be favorable for disease
incidence, but he gave it up and adopted a preventive program after being forced occasionally to spray curatively at
times not to his liking, such as Labor Day Sunday. Preventive
programs are usually termed too expensive in Maine, but the
"results" of this summer may change some thinking among
course management policy makers.
The " f a l l " or "resistant" dollar spot, often identified as a
species, can be quite damaging in September and
October when we usually think we are through with disease
problems. It seems to occur with every rainfall even if temperatures are in the 40's. Controls must be applied to stop it
from creating quite a bit of damage. In addition to the usual
chemicals, the Diamond-alkali product, "Daconil" (tetrachloroisophthalonitile) has been very satisfactory in its first year
of use here.

Maine

Potassium — Does Source Make a Difference?

By VAUGHN HOLYOKE
Crops Specialist
Cooperative Extension Service, University of Maine

In the September issue of the Newsletter, there was information on the use of potassium in turf production. The article
indicated that potassium chloride (muriate of potash) might
cause a buildup of excessive salts (mostly chlorides) in the
soil. In fact as I read the article, I got the impression that
continued use of muriate of potash on golf greens would lead
to salt problems.
It is not fair to compare a golf green with a greenhouse.
Although both are intensively managed, the rates of fertilizer
are quite different. For example, the potash ( K 2 0 ) application in greenhouses ranges from 250 to 500 pounds per acre
(6 to 12 lbs/1000 square feet). On the other hand, seldom
does the potash rate on a golf green go above 2 y 2 pounds per
1,000 square feet (100 lbs. per acre).
The amount of water applied to a soil also influences the
buildup of chloride salts. In addition to 35 to 40 inches of
rainfall, greens are frequently irrigated. The soil mix used in
green construction is designed to allow reasonably free water
movement. Thus any excess water moves through the green
carrying with it some of the chloride applied in the fertilizer.
As the article indicated, there are some crops, such as tobacco, where sulfate forms of potash improve crop quality.
To my knowledge there is no information to show that sulfate
of potash will improve turf quality.
1 think that you as a golf course superintendent should give
this potash question some serious thought before you spend
extra fertilizer dollars to buy your potash in the sulfate form.

Pro-Superintendent Tournament

The first Maine Pro-Superintendent Scotch Ball Tournament
was held on October 18 at the Portland Country Club. The
prolonged Indian summer weather held through the day as
twenty teams enjoyed testing the Portland course, which was,
as usual, in the best of condition.
The Association is grateful for the work of tournament
chairman, Harvey LaMontagne and Lloyd Ruby, and also to
host Pro, Jim Gillis and Superintendent Pete Ruby for making
our tournament so successful and enjoyable.

President's Message
What is the superintendent's present image? Is he viewed
as a respected, intelligent man or is he just the guy who cuts
the grass, a laborer, or the boss over at the maintenance shop?
Needless to say, if you were to take away the superintendent,
the golf course would suffer drastically. Not to minimize the
importance of any pro or club-manager, the superintendent's
work is certainly the most functionally important to the club.
But of the three above mentioned individuals, it is the superintendent who is usually- the least respectedr-Whose- i-ault is
this ? In most cases the blame can be placed on the superintendent himself.
Most superintendents are not extroverted, dramatic, or
"Dapper Dans." We have been taught by Mother Nature to
be humble men. Even when we are being given praise by the
membership (How sweet it i s ! ) , can we handle it in a
professional manner? Or do we mumble, "It's all right,
but it could be better." Certainly this is the way we
but
it is not the way to respond to a compliment.
The superintendent is concerned about his members and his
members' dollars, but are the members as concerned about
him or his salary or budget?
In many cases, even the superintendent's name isn't known
by the entire membership, not to mention his correct title or
what his duties entail.
After looking at these few isolated facts, it is obvious that
there is a problem of some proportions. The blame primarily
lies with the superintendent and he must change his ways to
solve it. He will have to dress, speak, and perform more as a
Then the member will not have such a time
trying to distinguish him from the crew.
He should be more active in professional associations, community affairs, and club activities, particularly within the
realm of public relations.
As a superintendent I feel badly that our position isn't more
highly regarded. However, with more diligent effort, I feel
confident that it will not bcTIong "Before ~iEe membership of

THE HOUSE YOU LIVE IN

The house you live in. Is it owned by the country club where
you tuck in the fairways and pull the covers up over the traps
before they go to bed each night?
If you happen to be included among this all too slowlyvanishing breed of superintendent, perhaps the arrangement
is ideal. But for the most part, what usually comes from such
a togetherness existence results in added woes and discomfort
for the golf course's star boarder.
The practice of throwing the super a bone in order to make
the job opportunity appear that more lucrative, thank heayens,
is losing its appeal.
There have been several examples of b a d tastes erupting
from the mouths of those who accepted such a candy-coated
deal.
The typical house and lot setup goes something like this:
In all likelihood the house looks as though it might not stand
long enough to even be condemned. Usually, it is a castoff and
the little woman who inherits it as a reward for being married to the duped super suddenly discovers she should have
listened to mother before taking the big step. Thus, the association of new club and new superintendent gets off to a
terrifying internal spat and start.
From there, things only can get worse. There are instances
when club presidents, greens chairmen and other hi-falutin'
members look upon the grounds residence as a number of
conveniences. With them it always is open house, a free bar
and only a stone's throw from some silly complaint.

The super with the built-in house also suffers the ravages
of being on call 2 4 hours a day. It is not uncommon to be
summoned from a S u n d a y afternoon at home with the wife,
and kiddies because some club whip had his ball bruised by
a sprinkler head. It should be removed at once " o r the board
of governors shall receive a letter" from, his highness.
Even the occasion of living within wedge distance of the
course makes for an unnatural feeling. A s one superintendent
aptly described it . . . " I don't want to wake up in the morning, look out the window and see that damn course staring at
me when I have to live with it the rest of the d a y . "
In addition to these setbacks, there are a number of other
arguments to direct the super away from on-the-course living.
One lesser publicized fact is the possibility of future financial
sickness, because of the loss of opportunity to accumulate
equity on a mortgage which sometimes acts as an incentive in
owning your own home.
The sermon here is not in direct opposition to the practice,
should the individual superintendent realize the pitfall^ involved but still accept the lure of fr^e, housing. It is .mof.e of
a warning to those, who might plunge into such a happysounding aifair, then regret it while still having to live with it.
N o matter how you slice i t , ? word for the day on this
matter is " c a u t i o n . " The h
m
live in may make the

Sept. 24, 1968
at St. Andrew's
Links Supervisor
John Campbell and
A . Roy Mackintosh

A RETURN TO NATURE

An escape from the great rat race.
That's how Roy Mackintosh nutshelled a recent visit to Scotland where he got a taste of the more patient pace of golf life.
Mackintosh, who makes the green grass grow all around at
the Twin Hills Country Club, was in Scotland on a double
mission . . . competing in the International Four-Ball Championship with his dad
pro A1 Mackintosh of Wilbraham,
Ralph Howard and T H owner John Breck . . . then taking
a busman's holiday on a tour of St. Andrews with John
Campbell.
Campbell directs the working traffic on the four courses at
St. Andrews and conducts things as his title of Links Supervisor implies. His is all head work, supervising 27 men to
keep four courses and five public putting greens just as spic
and span as possible.
It would seem that Campbell is not caught in the labor
shortage which we encounter. Possibly, it is because St. Andrews is the town. Everything revolves around the golf courses.
And the lure from a financial standpoint has nothing to do
with a full complement of skilled workers-, since they average
around thirty-five dollars a week.
Mackintosh played the f a m o u s Old Course at St. Andrews
and was highly impressed . . . both as a super and golfer.
" I t was a calm d a y " , Roy reports, "which probably had something to do with the 83 I shot. But being a seaside course or
links, I can imagine the weather capable of shooting a player's ego full of holes."
There are seven double greens on the Old Course and Roy
termed them in good shape. The grasses are more natural,
according to the T H super. " I t seems that they accept nature
and its ways over there", Roy reveals. " T h e r e is not too much
experimentation with types of grass. It looks as though they
just take things as they a r e . "
The weather and soil condition at St. Andrews are definitely plus factors as far as Campbell's performance charts go.
While under the same pressure from members (who pay five
dollars a year d u e s ) , Campbell appears to have the job well
under control. Certainly with a disciplined amount of rain
and lack of heavy humidity added to the rich growing area,
he has a head start on achieving success.
The fairways at St. Andrews never need fertilizing, for
reasons stated above. N o r are they irrigated. A s for rough,
it follows a wild cutting trend. It is allowed to reach four
inches just off the fairway, but from there Campbell and his
men let it wander to unbelievable heights.
There is one unique problem Campbell encounters. Sea gulls
and crows take a liking to loose divots. " T h e y have to reseed
and top dress them", R o y tells. " T h o s e birds just won't leave
them alone."
All of the courses Mackintosh viewed had one common
asset. " T h e terrain is just made for golf layouts", Roy says.
" T h i s was especially true at St. Andrews and Gleneagles —
where I also played. I would call the country a golf architect's
dream. And another thing. They don't stuff a course on a
small lot. They all seem .to roam as they please."
. What caught Mackintosh's eye the most, though, was the
living gait of everyone in Scotland. " T h e y never seemed to be
rushing", he laughs. " I don't know about the rest of the superintendents, but I'm always in climbing gear. In Scotland that
gear hasn't been invented."
