to deserving Turf M a n a g e m e n t Students.

CONFIDENTIALLY SPEAKING
Remember that last confidential salary survey conducted by
the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America?
Well, it isn't confidential anymore. Where did it lose its
"for insiders only" identity? Not in the monthly publication
of the supers, but in the periodical designed for and by the
golf professionals — the PGA Magazine.
So, if some of you green chairmen and club presidents are
wondering how your salary concession stacks up with the rest
of the country clubs and municipal courses, you can pick up
a copy of the PGA mag or read it here and now because the
leak makes it public knowledge.
Superintendents were sent copies of the results, so they
shouldn't feel slighted . . . unless there was prior agreement
made by originators of the survey not to publish the figures.
In that case, obviously someone goofed and everyone knows
by now that the super is a budding "capitalist" with the earning potential of a J . P. M o r g a n ! ! !
Anyway, the average cash salary income of the 1,139 superintendents who responded to the survey is $12,846. The range
of income starts at less than $8,000 (69 supers are paid this
magnificent sum or less) and peaks at $25,000 or more (five
responding to this healthy "figure).
The country club or private versus public course salary race
was closer than anticipated, although the privates averaged
out to a higher bracket. It is interesting to note, too, that of
the responses to the questionnaire the private supers outnumbered the public and municipal superintendents, 65 to 36
percent.

Now, if you are interested in what pastures to be avoided in
job futures, you might take heed to the fact that the lowest
salary range from the respondents was recorded among those
employed by resort, military and college courses where the
figure was $3,000 below the national average.
The average age of the superintendent happens to be 42.4
years and nearly 50 percent of supers are second-generation
followers of the profession. One out of every three have brothers in the same career which means the superintendent is
somewhat of a salesman when it comes to selling his profession.
The educational makeup of the field is favorable. Just a
shade below 90 percent of the survey answers have completed
high school. Some 44.6 percent have completed at least two
years of college and 19.3 percent have earned their college
degrees. The most popular major of those continuing their
education at the university level is agronomy with horticulture
and business administration trailing.
Fringe benefits, always a popular subject knocked around
at monthly meetings, worked out this way: Automobile or
pickup truck expense allowance ( 6 7 . 2 % ) , clubhouse privileg*
es ( 6 5 % ) , hospitalization 6 7 % ) , GCSAA dues ( 8 6 . 3 % ) ,
GCSAA conference expenses ( 7 0 . 4 % . ) , life insurance ( 4 4 . 5 % ) ,
housing ( 2 7 % ) , pension plan ( 2 6 . 9 % ) , meals ( 4 3 . 6 % ) ,
Utilities ( 2 1 . 5 % ) and disability income insurance ( 2 0 . 2 % ) .
So, that's about the size of it. Confidential or not, the picture
is a clear one. Now if the superintendent can only get to
print the results of a golf professional survey in his national
magazine, the score on that count will be even.

PREPPING FOR THE BIG ONES
Every now and then a golf course superintendent is required
to take his talents out into that big, nasty field of preparing
his grounds for a major tournament and on occasion some
actually relish the assignment.
Getting a course ready for players of better than average
ability has its grass roots (heh-heh) so to speak. And, according to Leon St. Pierre — who just put a spit and polish on
the Longmeadow Country Club for crackers of the golf ball
in the Massachusetts State Amateur — the layout of the course
is the most important factor.
" I ' m not one of those people who think it's necessary to
trick up a golf course", St. Pierre chimes. "You read about
the U. S. Open and its elephant-grassed roughs and pin placements so rugged a player must send out a searching party to
find them. I don't think golf was intended to be presented
this way. For instance, they don't make the football field-120
yards for the Super Bowl and they don't move the fences back
in the World Series. It doesn't make sense."
For the state-am, Leon used a practical approach even
though a spring and early summer of incessant rain storms
tore at his attempts. " I simply concentrated on giving the
players the best greens I could muster, fairways where out of
bounds markers were clearly defined and pin placements not
unfamiliar to our regular club members. I don't think I had
to rig the course. If you have the basics, it's not necessary."
St. Pierre is an example of a man who takes pride in his
work; this was most evident on the second day of play when
several greens were flooded during a morning downpour. There
were thoughts of putting off the afternoon round, but the
sponsoring Massachusetts Golf Association frowns on such
moves. It doesn't wish to inconvenience club members anymore
than it has to, so St. Pierre came to the rescue.
His work crew, which somehow is stimulated by Leon's
enthusiasm to strive for perfect playing conditions, was waiting for a call from its mentor. Members of it responded with
a war on the waters, using a squeegee attack to dry the greens
and staying on hand to repeat the action if the skies opened
up again.

"Let's face it," St. Pierre leveled. "You have
to have foresight in this
business. When you anticipate an emergency
and prepare for it, you're
automatically one-up on
the situation. Before we
even thought our spring
and summer would be a
wet one, our drainage
system was put in working order. The rest was
a matter of having my
men—ready to lend the
physical hand necessary
to combat such situations."
The proof of the Longmeadow victory over the elements
came from the players who managed to complete the afternoon round after a short delay. Not one loser traced his demise to the condition of the course. Everyone agreed it was
the flight, not the lie, of the ball which made the big difference in each result.
Prepping for a big one, then, was just half of the assignment
thrust upon St. Pierre. And he sticks to his original plan. " I
just went about getting it ready as I do for our members on
a weekend tournament", he revealed. "And I think this is the
practical approach. There never was any panic. We cooled it
from the moment we knew the state amateur was to be played
at Longmeadow. And I think it worked out."
It did. The state amateur people won't hesitate to return to
Longmeadow when that opportunity comes along again.

Standards

Amended for Construction
Vehicle
Roll-Over
Protection
Amendments to safety standards for construction vehicles
covering roll-over protective structures were recently amended
by the OSH Administration. Roll-over structures are designed
to protect operators in case of vehicle upset. The vehicles
covered b.y the amendments include all rubber-tired, selfpropelled scrapers, front end loaders and dozers, crawler
tractors, crawler-type loaders, motor graders and wheel-type
agricultural and industrial tractors of more than 20 horsepower
used in construction work.
Revised standards require that roll-over structures be able
to bear at least double the weight of the machine or meet the
Society of Automotive Engineers' criteria and minimize the
likelihood of a complete overturn, thereby reducing the possibility of the operator being crushed. Any machines with a
roll-over structure that meet the requirements of the State of
California, the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers or the Bureau
of Reclamation of the U. S. Department of Interior in effect
on April 5, are considered to be in compliance with the new
standards.
The roll-over structures must be installed under a progressive schedule of dates. The effective date of these amendments
for new equipment is September 1, 1972. The amendments contain a schedule of effective dates for retrofitting machines
built after July 1, 1969. The retrofit date for machines manufactured prior to July 1, 1969 has been delayed pending further
study.
The Construction Safety Advisory Committee recommended
the adoption of five standards recently issued by the Society
of Automotive Engineers on roll-over protection to update the

t i o n •

amendments. The five involve: prime movers; wheeled front
end loaders and dozers; track-type tractors and front end loaders ; motor graders; and laboratory evaluation of the protective
structures. George Guenther indicated that OSH Administration will initiate action in the near future to implement this
recommen dation.
OSHA Fines Set: The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has issued a list of standard penalties which will
be assessed when certain violations are found by compliance
officers. The penalties are not subject to reduction. The violations and amount of fines:
Failure
Failure
Failure
Failure
employees

to post the official OSHA poster —

PRO OR A M ?
Patrick
It would not be inaccurate to say that golf architects (I
know three, though not closely) in general view golfers, in
particular committees, as morons. Golfers, in their turn, incline
to regard the architect as an invention of the devil, and the
committee morons for calling upon him. They dislike paying
out money for a task they consider could be carried out by
themselves.
I have in mind alterations to existing holes. It should be
obvious that the planning of a new course out of virgin woodland, or using to their best advantage the sweeps and folds
of--cammonland can be left only to the professional designer.
He has three primary qualities: knowledge, experience and
imagination. He can see the wood for trees.
Though, to adapt the words of P. G. Wodehouse (I think
in reference to bishops), the incidence of insanity among
architects is not high, two of these gentlemen, of different
firms and editors of different journals, have accepted my effusions. I put that forward as the reason for my presumption in
discussing the make-up of golf holes. I have been on both sides
of the fence. During 25 years in the colonies (an archaic
word), in the absence of anyone else I was invited on three
occasions to 'improve' holes, thus becoming, may I be forgiven, an amateur architect. The bush had already been
cleared, inevitably in dead straight tram-lines . . . no imagination.
A good golf hole is one that makes the useful player scratch
his head a bit when on the tee. His drive must be placed so
that the green, if not the flag, should be 'open house' for the
second. But, and this is important, the ordinary club member
who is not looking for and unlikely to achieve a four, must
have an alternate route so that he may enjoy his game; which
when all is said and done, is the reason why he pays a subscription. And that surely is the practical idea of a hole. It is
pqssible for a single, intelligently sited bunker to govern the
tactical play of a hole.
In this discourse I should mention, with the purpose of my
editor retaining his reason, that there is a clause in most journals to the effect that the editor does not necessarily agree
with his contributors' opinions..
It is interesting to take a look at some old courses that have
not altered over the years. It can be that even the old diehards would agree with certain changes. I believe that the
first act of an architect would be to abolish a large number
of bunkers. These in the old days were placed to punish the
poor players. A stupid policy, for in that category he has quite
enough on his hands in reaching the hole at all. Those pointless bunkers, those ancient barrows planted with primness on
either side of the fairway
catch the sliced or pulled drive,
and repeated some way from the green to trap the inferior
second. They are, so far as the good striker is concerned,
redundant. Today he can carry them. Fill them in. They cost
money in upkeep. Let the long-handicap player when he errs,

Smartt
which is often, finish in the rough; that will give him plenty
of food for thought. The erasing of bunkers should be left to
an architect, otherwise you have conflict in the club between
the habitual slicers and the habitual hookers.
It is the good player who should be challenged, both in his
thinking and his strokemaking. He must be forced to calculate
risks: by how much dare he cut off a corner, will it or will it
not pay him to go f.or the pin with his next? He should be
made to think on every stroke in the round.
—There is a school, small, may Allah irer praised,'who wish to
replace rough grass, heather or bracken — with trees. In
earlier days a ball in the rough could be counted as costing
half a stroke. With trees it depends which side of the tree the
ball strikes.
The only bad hole is one that is featureless and dull. Luck?
We hear too much of so-called unfairness. Bernard Darwin
when writing on this asked: "Do we wish to raise the game
to the bloomless heights of chess?" I confess to a weakness
for blind holes — fun and luck. I can, however, picture what
would happen to the professional designer who introduced
one into his plan. And yet life consists of wondering what
lies on the other side of the hill.
There is a delusion that a good player can lay out a good
hole. There was a famous amateur international, a good friend
of mine now dead, who for no apparent reason layed down
a green close to the existing one. I paced its area one day.
Seven paces wide, 12 from front to back. He did me the honour
of asking what I thought of it. My reply was that given a
medium or long iron to this unwatered green, I would bet
against Henry Cotton at his best leaving the ball on that green
more than three times in 20 attempts. It was never used.
I recall a course which was altered by a famous professional.
The members, who contributed to the cost, now find it takes
half an hour longer to complete the round. There is a new
short hole, a feature of which I cannot fathom. The teeingground is at the top green defended immediately in front by
a stream. An out-of-bounds fence on the left. Just over the water
hazard and a sentinel over the left entrances to the green stands
a tree. The right-hand side is open, calling for a downhill
chip. So far, so good. But just beyond that tree is a bunker.
What for? One or the other is dispensable. That is an isolated
case. If alterations are to be made, I come down heavily on
the side of the Pro architect against the Am.
There remains one question. Provided the course is not
one of those that caters for professional tournaments, or upkeep is a burden, why not leave things as they are? In short,
committees are not elected to change a course.

" I just drove by the golf course at my country club and
couldn't believe my eyes. Out on the green there was a worker
hosing down the surface. I wanted to stop the car and get out
to reprimand him for his contribution to what I think are
the worst conditions in history.
"However, I thought twice about it and continued along.
What bothers me in this matter is the fact that our area has
been one of those which has been hit by violent rain storms
almost every day of the spring.
"When we did get a nice, hot day there was the worker
adding more damage to the course by hosing down the greens.
I am not an expert on these things but surely our superintendent must be going out of his mind by directing such a
drastic working detail.
" I s there someplace I can write so that our superintendent
can be placed on probation, censured or maybe even brought
up on charges? I'm really concerned about this matter."
EVELYN ELDRIDGE
Warren, Conn.
Rather than censure your super, you should have him cited
for his intelligent reaction to a hot, sultry day after continuous
rains. As of now your course is in a critical state. A run of
steamy weather could wipe out all the grasses there unless
a program of "rinsing the plants" is undertaken. Please leave
these decisions to your super, Evelyn.

" I am a country club member and have a gripe against our
superintendent who ordinarily doesn't do such things.
"Anyway, last week we had a very terrible time of it with
the rains and all. The course was a mud pile to begin with
but somehow we were allowed to play and also to use carts.
I thought better of this and decided to walk. However, several members used carts and there was a sudden deluge of
carts getting stuck in the mud.
"Two days later I was playing again and much to my surprise most of the stuck carts were still out on the course, in
full view where all members could see them and sometimes
be hampered by them.
"All right, so the super might have been put out by the
fact that somebody overruled him and allowed the use of
carts. But shouldn't he be out there rescuing those darn
things?"
P E T E R READ
Placid Springs, R. I.
In this case the super obviously got his point across. The
unpleasant picture of stuck carts strung out over the course
should serve as a future warning to members that there are
times when the carts should remain in the barn. Next time
maybe there won't be a next time!

"One of the aids to avoiding embarrassing situations in the
future came about recently at our club when a tournament
was hindered because the course was declared too wet to use
golf carts.
" I t was one of those member-guest things, but the decision
to keep the carts grounded was a smart one. However, we suddenly learned that there wouldn't be enough caddies to go
around and many of the guests had to either carry their own
bags or use a pull-cart.
"This is not a gripe or a complaint about anyone except
those people who take it for granted that caddies are going
to show up every single day, only to find members using carts
while they sit out the round.
Instead, it is a warning to all clubs who have been taking
the caddy for granted and using him only in a case 6f emergency.
" M y experience was embarrassing but it opened my eyes.
Right now I'm working with our board to see that such situations don't pop up again. Don't you think I'm r i g h t ? "
CRAIG M I L L E R
Seabreeze, Mass.
Right you are, Craig. But you're whipping a dead horse.
Just as soon as normal weather returns the caddies will return
to their position of back-up pilots.

" I am a superintendent with the same old cart-during-impossible conditions problem.
"Our members want to use the carts in all kinds of weather
. . . but they turn down my attempt to increase my budget
so that blacktop paths can be built over the entire course.
" A s you all know, this is the answer to using carts in all
kinds of muddy conditions. If the golf course is equipped with
a complete set of hardened paths, there is no way a cart can
hurt the layout if riders keep them there.
" I think all country club presidents and prominent members should take this letter and keep it on their person until
it's time for the next budget meeting. Blacktop paths are the
answer. Just think of all the unnecessary aggravation they can
prevent."

Course Withheld
You've brought this problem right to the heart of its answer. Put the paths in and members can ride carts till the
cows come home.
