PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
F o r those of you, not only from our own New England
association but from other sections as well, contemplating our
London- Scotland-Ireland trip November 7-21, take it from
an experienced and enriched traveler . . . " T h i s will be
something in your life never to be forgotten."
It was my distinct privilege and pleasure to accompany
John Spodnik last fall in a full tour of the Scottish golfing
grounds and the traditional English historical sites. Both
John and I came to the conclusion that the experience was
priceless.

Arthur Washburn will host our July 13, 1970 meeting for
the annual Superintendent-Chairman event, at the Cohasset
Golf Club in Cohasset, Massachusetts.
Arthur is now in his second year as superintendent, having
replaced J o e Oldfiled, retired. Washburn was for four years
a Staff Sergeant and Flight Engineer instructor in the U.S.A.F.
His background of varied experiences instilled in him much
needed patience to comply with unhappy golfers and dissatisfied employees which are around these days in large numbers.
Art also received golf course training at the Myopia Hunt
Club and the United Shoe Country Club. He served as super
at the Nabnasset Lake Country Club.
A buffet will be served from 5 to 7 P. M.
Don't miss this opportunity to invite your club Green
Chairman or his co-chairman. Take along your family and
they can soak the sun and fun of Nantasket Beach, if these
gentlemen are not available.
D I R E C T I O N S TO C O H A S S E T — 128 to Rt. 3 south.
Follow Rt. 3 to Rt. 2 2 8 and go left. Go till you cross 3A and
take your fifth right which is Lambert's Lane. Club is at end.

Leon St. Pierre has been busy for several weeks now,
huddling with travel bureaus and the like in order to line
up the combination of an enjoyable and educational visit,
for course superintendents and their friends. I have looked
over the flyer prepared and it appears even more promising
than my trip, to take in the sights of St. Andrews and be
exposed to the most hospitable people I ever have encountered.
First let me say that you will be in the hands of an expert
at making people feel at home in our old friend, John Campbell of St. Andrews. While John and I were in the locale Mr.
Campbell made such thorough arrangements for our introduction to this charming partN of the world that we couldn't
think of anything we didn't see.
Everything you've heard and read about St. Andrews is
true and then some. I can still recall the scenic trip over the
Forth Bridge along the North Sea and the pleasant dinner
prepared at the Grange Inn for the group.
After that, and an introduction to Mr. Patrick Hogg of the
St. Andrews public relations office, everything seemed to
fall into place. The conversations with Campbell and others
of the golf set, along with a genuine feeling of having been
welcomed like visiting dignitaries made our stay a most
memorable one.
Of course, I can't begin to tell you about other highlights
of the adventure because it seemed to John and me that there
just wasn't enough time in the day to fully realize the wonderful opportunity at hand.
We in the New England association are proud of our great
strides forward in the promotional aspect of making our
profession one of the mainstays in its field. Once you get to
Scotland you will see proof of this in the interest people take
in the important tasks which make up our j o b .
There is much more to the proposed November trip, much
more than I can talk about here. However, since the
Scotland tour comprises a m a j o r part of the venture, I can
add my full endorsement of it and urge all who can to make it.

THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER
Roger Barry proved to be the man who came to dinner
and stayed long enough to collect first prize in another slambang super-press tournament last month at testy Pleasant
Valley Country Club.
Barry, exalted ruler of the Golf Writers Association of
America, wore two hats for the well-organized affair . . . a
production of golf chairman Julius Aksten and company.
Roger, representing the Quincy Patriot Ledger, teamed with
Ron Kirkman of the Needham Country Club and together
they forged an all-conquering 71. Then, after brushing up
on his prose and participles, Barry delivered the breakup
banquet from boring rhetoric with a snappy main-speech
offering.

The winners, who collected the Arthur Anderson Trophy
from Sir Arthur, himself, didn't have too many shots to waste
in the tourney. There was a boatload of 72 shooters at their
heels among the encouraging turnout of 4 0 teams.
Locked there were Bill Carter of Foxborough and Dick
Trust of the Patriot Ledger, Tony Caranci of Ledgemont and
Ed Duckworth of the Providence Journal. A1 Auger of South
Shore and Ralph Grasso of the Marlboro Enterprise and
John Almonte of Worcester and Henry Landress of the Worcester Telegram.
More at 72 included defending champion Ted Murphy of
Garrison and Kevin Walsh of the Boston Globe, Manny Francis of Belmont and Jack McCarthy of the Boston Herald,
Bob St. Thomas of Hyannisport and Ernie Roberts of the
Boston Globe, Wayne Ripley of Glen Ellen and John Lally of
the Boston Record American and Guy Tedesco of New Seabury and Ray Fitzgerald of the Boston Globe.
Barry split his after-dinner praise down the middle — between the growing recognition and appreciation of the New
England Golf Course Superintendents Association and his
partner, Kirkman.
" Y o u people have come a long way", Barry puffed up the
prospectus of the super. " W e of the golf writing society
stand ready to help you in any way we can. And this opportunity to get together on an informal basis lends itself to
a better relationship of superintendent and press."

"1 am a club member and pride myself on replacing divots,
fixing ball marks, etc. Therefore, I feel I'm being discriminated against in a recent club rule which says everyone playing
a round — other than a major tournament — must tee his
ball on the par three holes from a strip of synthetic turf.
"This seems rather stupid to me. Our dues make for a
considerable sum and I assume that much of it goes into the
grooming of our course. Besides, I can't hit worth a dang
off that blasted mat. Am I being out of line or are the synthetics here to s t a y ? "

Your beef is becoming a popular one, Ross. The only answer
is to play your course only when major tournaments are

"Another big event is scheduled by the Northeastern Section for July 21. This is a day for the supers and their ladies
and as in the past all members of the New Englnd Association
are invited. The site is a natural . . . Stratton Mountain. And
an interesting program has been organized to make the trip
worthwhile"
CASEY ROWLEY

Sounds like fun, Casey. Should I bring my skis?
Of Kirkman, Barry was most grateful. " H e carried me
out there", Roger gave Ron a verbal pat on the back. " I
thought I had seen most of the great putters of the world.
But you people have one right here m Ron. I wonder how
he'd do at his home course? The way he read the Pleasant
Valley greens makes me believe he'd be a cinch to win at
Needham,"
The entire production at
Pleasant Valley was admirable.
Host superintendent Noel Fongeallaz did an outstanding job
in laying the groundwork for
the tournament committee to
stage the tournament. The association's thanks go to Noel
and other P V officials who
made the stay suitable a most
pleasant one.

Maine and New Hampshire superintendents had their annual j o i n t meeting on J u n e 2nd at the Sanford Country Club
in Sanford, Maine. Everyone had a very enjoyable time and
host super " C h o c " Dorion is to be thanked for all arrangements he made to m a k e the meeting at his club possible.
Dick Sheff of the Alfco R o k e b y Chemical Co. gave a very
informative and interesting talk on the chemical Stopz. Pictures certainly tell a story and Dick's fit in very nicely with
his talk.
I understand that Ken Turner had a series of slides to show
on snow mold, but on the second of J u n e nobody seemed
interested in that particular disease. K e n , consider yourself
booked for a fall showing of those and any other interesting
slides you may have.
T h e annual tournament for the putting cup was won by
Maine. T h e cup will now reside in Maine f o r a year. It will
make a short journey into New Hampshire next year to be
shown at the tournament and then promptly return to Maine.
Lloyd R u b y is improving his golf game. After shooting a
1 6 9 (not an e r r o r ) for 18 at Willowdale in May he came
back with a sensational 8 1 for 9 at Sanford. M a y b e he is
like some ball players and prefers the warm weather.

We Hate To Have To
Nature has managed over time to develop on this planet
earth a beautiful and quite possibly unique environment f o r
the existence of something not known to exist anywhere else
in the universe — life, with man its most obstreperous m a n i festation. When man discovered that he could greatly improve on nature's environment f o r his personal comfort and
convenience, his bent for inventiveness became his identifying characteristic. Among a myriad other things he invented
economics, meant to deal with designs for his further welfare.
Of course nature had invented recycling at a somewhat earlier
date with the same general if more ultimate aim. Upon recognition^ of nature's plan man piously phrased the process
with ceremonial pomp as "ashes to ashes and dust to dust"
and proceeded to bury it with his dead.
Men and ostriches tend to bury the wrong things. Our
smog-infested air, our filthy streams and our littered land a r e
as they are f o r reasons of economics. W e invented economics
with laborious thought. It often works, especially if we continue to think. But we hate to have to. It is so much easier to
accept a formulated pattern and to pattern the formula until
dire necessity spurs us to a new one. W e already sense what
the new one must be. W e know that necessity is upon us now.
Let our concerted efforts then be to thaw our own and our
fellow men's frozen thought patterns before they take us all
where we would not choose to go.

WATER MANAGEMENT
By Bill

Knoop,

Turf

Specialist,

Univ.

of N.

H.

Now is the time of year when our thoughts turn from the
problems of preparing a golf course for play to thoughts of
how to keep the turf in the best possible condition for this
summer's play. T h e spring rains are behind us and we must
get the " r u s t out of our pipes" and irrigate our turf.
In considering water management there are a number of
factors to evaluate. T h e variety of grass is important as is
the soil type. T h e physical irrigation facility must be considered. When these factors are put together water can be
an effective management tool.
Different grasses have different normal rootzone depths.
P o a Annua is normally shallow rooted. Bentgrass is somewhat
deeper rooted and blugrass is normally much deeper rooted
than the others. Because soil dries from the surface down the
shallow-rooted grasses require more water than the deeper
rooted ones. This can change. I f bluegrass is watered too
much it won't develop a deep root system and may require
as much irrigation as bentgrass. Under these wet conditions
which do not encourage deep root growth P o a Annua can
thrive. Bentgrass and bluegrass are weak under high moisture levels and P o a Annua can easily out-compete them. Encourage the deep rooting of both bentgrass and bluegrass by
heavy waterings at infrequent intervals. Irrigate till the water
has penetrated at least 6 inches into the soil. Water when the
first signs of wilt are apparent.
There are several things to consider when deciding the
best time of day to irrigate. T h e best time for you may not
be the best for anyone else. Avoid watering during the day
as much as possible. A moist warm turf is ideal for disease
development. A great deal of water is lost by evaporation
during the hot daylight hours.
Early morning watering has the advantage of washing off
any dew that is on the grass leaf. This dew has been accused
of being a transport system for turf diseases.
The golfer, too, has some thoughts on the right time to
water. Usually he wants a hard fairway for a long roll and
a wet green to hold his shot. Once he is on the green it need
not be too wet nor too dry. It all depends on how well he
can putt.
Irrigation if used properly can be a
ment tool. Y o u can train your grasses
systems. Y o u can aid in reducing or
Annua. Y o u can lessen the chance of a
and if you're lucky, you can keep the

very useful manageto develop deep root
even controlling P o a
disease invasion. Yes,
golfer happy.

" I would like to take this opportunity to invite all wives
and lady friends of our New England Association to the
group's annual ladies' day, Aug. 3 at the Chestnut Hill
Country Club.
" W e are making plans to have a well-rounded program
for the girls including golf, pool party, buffet, etc. I hope
everyone will attend."
MRS. DEAN ROBERTSON

Thanks for the invitation. I'll be there with Mickey Wright.

"This is not like me at all, but I have a complaint which
doesn't seem that unusual not to write you about it.
" M y playing group is just sick and tired of having to hit
our shots around the sprinklers that dot our fairways. It
happens every Tuesday -morning and doesn't seem fair that
the ladies of our club have to put up with such an inconvenience when the men have more comfortable playing conditions over the week end.
" I have spoken to our superintendent about this and he
says that Tuesday mornings are the only logical time, among
others, that he can utilize to irrigate our course. I'm not
complaining about his answer at all. In fact, he was very
courteous when questioned.
"What I would like to know is if there is some solution to
his problem which, in effect, turns out to be our problem. I
know you have advised other golfers on similar complaints.
I hope you have an answer I can use at the next meeting of
our ladies' association."
MRS. CORA C R O S B Y
Moosup, Conn.
The answer is simple. S e t the girls together and storm the
next club budget meeting. W h a t you need is an automatic
irrigation system where all the watering is done at night.

"It's getting to be ridiculous around my course. It seems
that my green chairman has taken it upon himself to set up
a checking system on the work habits of my help. And to be
frank, I don't like it.
This particular snoop has been seen throwing a stop watch
on tractor drivers to see how long they wait until a foursome
gets out of working range. The other day he confronted me
with a bunch of figures which would lead people to believe
the club is being cheated by the hourly rate the help receives.
" I have told my chairman that this is about the lowest
thing I've ever heard of. Besides taking up my valuable time
with his too frequent reports, he gives indication that I'm not
supervising my help properly. Shouldn't our president be
advised of the situation?"
JOHN CARANCELLO
(Club withheld)
This is a first for us, John. If your green chairman has all
that time to check on others, why don't you put him to work?

THE TOURNAMENT EXPLOSION
O.K., men, today's vital question is aimed straight down the
middle. How many tournaments at your course, pray tell?
In a quick hop, skip and jump through the membership of
the GCSA your roving reporter emerged from the friendly
flak with a cross-section tally resulting in the tournament
schedule of " T h e Typical Country Club."
At Typical there is played exactly 60 different tournaments
from the middle of April through the end of September. But
this doesn't mean there are only 60 playing dates. No. sir.
Many of these fall into the two, three and four-day category.
Is the superintendent at Typical incensed over the number? Does he wish to make formal complaint? Is he thinking
of retiring to the peace and quiet of an industrial landscaping j o b ?
No, not on your country club loyalty oath, he isn't. But
what he would like members to note is the fact that he is
expected to provide them and often their guests with tip-top,
roll-'em-all-in playing conditions for approximately 75 days
of the playing year.
"That's a little bit too much to expect", the Typical super
told us after a parade of blind-bogey tournament players
stilled his green mowers for the better part of a Wednesday
afternoon. " I ' m not knocking our membership for wanting
to play tournaments. However, the breakdown of participation is such that some of the members get to see the course
only when I fall behind in my work."
This sort of puts Typical's super on the spot. " I usually
prime myself for the club's big tournament . . . that's the
member-guest fourball", he complained. "And usually I give
the members a pretty nice setting for four days. But I can't
tune myself in for every single event. And that's when I get
the most static."
What seems to be the tournament when Typical's super
takes to eating fire?
"That's an easy one", he revealed. I'm all against those
dadblasted shotgun things. They're the ones where the whole
field spreads out on the golf course and doesn't give my
workers a chance to breathe, let alone do their chores. Most
of the time when I hear that shotgun, I ring the dinner bell.
Might as well spend the rest of the day getting the equipment
in shape."
Tournaments, then, are getting to be touchy moments of
appraisal for the superintendent. Granted, they are a necessity. However, the member should realize they should not
be used as a launching pad to fire rockets at the super. Threeputt greens or an occasional shock of elephant grass around
the fringe shouldn't make for an immediate blast at the man
who is trying to produce perfect conditions for every day
of the golf season.
The superintendent tolerates the tournament explosion. The
club member should tolerate the consequences it breeds.
