Our Man Behind The Gavel
Wayne Zoppo had just taken a handoff from Tom Curran. He
took the gavel in hand and made a rather pertinent comment. "I
don't look upon the job of president of the New England Golf
Course Superintendents as one where I will rule," he quipped. "To
me it's one where I will represent my fellow supers."
Good start, right there.
Zoppo is taking over from Curran who just completed a twoyear stint at the head of the group. In fact, Zoppo signals the
passing of official high office from one generation to another.
From here on in, the new breed will be front and center . . . the old
in the background.
The 33-year-old Zoppo also has something to say about that.
"Sure, the new slate of officers reflects a major change in
makeup of titles in the NEGCSA," he explained. "But this doesn't
mean that we will dominate the association. We're coming in with
plenty to learn and a record of accomplishments to follow. I'd like
all veteran members of the association to know that I welcome
their comments and criticisms at any and all times. There are
certain people in that category that I will depend on for advice
and guidance. I'm no one-man show. No one is."
Zoppo expects to implement a program of total involvement by
the membership. "That's why I was in favor of bringing salesmen
into the association," he told. "I was aware of the situation. They
came to the site of meetings and couldn't sit in on them. In that
vein, they were simply second class citizens. Now they are
eligible and I see no reason why they can't contribute."
The stress by Zoppo will be to get all members in on the ground
floor of all decisions. He has a special fondness for the educational
program of the association and intends to work closely with
educational chairman Pete Coste in bringing about attractive
meetings for members.
"I'm going to work in close contact with Pete, just as I will with
the rest of the officers," Zoppo disclosed. "I look down the list and
I can see some powerful shoulders for me to lean on. We're all
young and we're eager. I just hope we don't get swallowed up by
complacency. We have a big job to do for the association."
Zoppo also is pleased with the outlook for more social events on
the NEGCSA calendar. "I think we can stage more events like the
Christmas party," Wayne explained. "We're already to go with a
resumption of our summer clam bakes. And there could be more.
I really believe that the more we can get together, not just on an
official basis, the better we'll get to know each other. And from
this closeness will come the opportunity for more frequent exchanges of ideas."
The man from Agawam Hunt is entering his 10th year as a fullfledged superintendent. And oddly enough, he was virtually built
into the profession. "When I was living in Holden, somebody built
a golf course right next to our backyard," Zoppo recalled. "That
really put the job on my doorstep. I started caddying, got interested in turf work and before I knew it, I was out there doing
it."
Wayne points to three men who had much to do with his career.
They are familiar association stalwarts Bob Grant and Dick

Blake and the career cradle rocker for Wayne — Jud Edwards of
Holden. Enroute to Agawam Hunt, Wayne studied at Stockbridge
and followed the usual trail of apprenticeship, assistant and
finally head superintendent.
"I love the profession and hope I can repay all those who have
helped me by having a constructive and successful tenure as
association president," Zoppo concluded. "I want to restate my
case, though. I'm here, ready to hear, I'm all ears. And I'd like to
hear from everyone. All of us should contribute to the good of the
association. I only hope others feel as I do."

President's Message
I would like to thank the members of the Golf Course
Superintendent's Association of New England for electing me
their president for 1976.
I accept the responsibilities of the office that I now hold and
pledge to uphold the high standard of excellence the association
has had in the past.
I would also like to urge all the superintendents of the
association to attend as many local meetings and conferences as
possible this winter. With the ever changing economy, it is the
responsibility of every superintendent to look for better ways of
serving his membership and what better way to do this than to
attend local meetings, the USGA meeting in New York Jan. 30.
the National Turf Conference in Minneapolis Feb. 8-13, and the
University of Massachusetts Turf Conference in March. These
conferences and meetings serve as a tool to help you plan more
efficiently when ordering supplies and setting up programs for
next year.
It also is the responsibility of each club to provide financial
support, so "your" superintendent can attend these educational
programs.

No One Sleeps In The Winter

Contrary to unfounded rumor, neither the golf course
superintendent nor his equipment sleeps during the winter. And
that's a fact.
In fact, one of the real tasks of winter for the superintendent
brings an ironic twist into his existence. That would be the occasion of the winter roundup of golf cars — those mechanical
monsters who have proven a Jekyll-Hyde addition to the country
club scene.
For one thing, the golf car has done its damage to the course.
Mostly, though, the hurt has come because of irresponsible
driving habits of those golflers who ignore rules and regulations.
At any rate, the golf car can be a Hyde.
On the other hand, the golf car has become a major source of
revenue for the golf course. In some instances its returns are right
up there with green fees. Whatever the amount, the golf car has
become an integral part of the golf course business. There's your
Jekyll.
For the most part, too, the superintendent has been thrust into
the job of providing tender, loving care for this mechanical baby
which at times can be his adversary. And in many country clubs
the winter brings out the best motherly qualities of the super in
providing for the revenue-producing baby.
The maintenance program for golf cars certainly should be
more than a short-changed checkover. Since the life of the car is
important to the amount of revenue it will bring to the club, its
maintenance has to be well-planned and expertly executed.
Our superintendent does the complete overhaul job every
winter which means that his crew could be immersed in golf cars
for the better part of one month.
This particular schedule includes stripping of each car,
checking and cleaning batteries, checking and replacing tires,
replacing same if needed, cleaning all wires and terminals and
connections, steam cleaning the vehicle and finally painting for
quick-action use in the spring.

How much does it mean to do the thorough job instead of giving
the cars shabby treatment?
"It could add up to three or four more years of use for the golf
car that receives proper maintenance," one super revealed.
"That's a lot of money to keep rolling in. And, if the maintenance
program goes the other way, it's a lot of money a course can
lose."
No official statistics are available at this writing. However, the
average call for a golf car is somewhere around 100 times a
season. With the golf car rental fees averaged out to the 11-dollar
figure, it means that a well-conditioned golf car can return $1100
per season. And, if that car can live to be seven or eight years old,
the overall return approaches $10,000. This could be realized,
minus maintenance costs, of course, from an original investment
of approximately $1500.
Another big factor in the golf car business pertains to the socalled "split with the pro" in releasing the cars to members. Most
pros work on a percentage basis. However, a new form of fee for
order writing has surfaced because of an apparent conflict of
interest on part of the pro. Since his revenues depend on use of the
cars, he would hail their use in weather when they should be kept
garaged.
This has prompted some clubs to do away with the percentage
arrangement and project a salary increase for the pro to include
that service. In addition, this arrangement takes the super off the
hook when he decides golf cars are not to be used. Since his
decision doesn't take money out of the pro's pocket, the
relationship between the two remains all the more harmonious.
So, that golf car plays an important part in the off-season of the
super and the on-season of the pro. It never sleeps. But who does
around a golf course . . . . whether its the lively dawning of snring
or the dead of winter'.'

NEWSLETTER NOTES
Would you like to change the Sound Off column to a more informative type of column? In the "old days" the Newsletter was
written by the members of the association. It was used to exchange ideas and experiences with fellow members so they can
learn from each other. It was used for information about the
members of the association and it gave them an opportunity to
express themselves on their thoughts or ideas. In doing this, out of
necessity, there will be conflicting opinions. However, through
discussion, solutions can be drawn that will be in the best interest
of the members, the associations, and the game of golf. We want
you to use this column to express yourself, to inform other
members, to share your ideas, and if you prefer, to sound off! Any
letter, with the request, will be printed without name or address of
the writer. Contents of this column does not necessarily reflect the
opinion of the editor or the Newsletter committee. So, whether
you're a superintendent, club official, commercial salesman, or a
member of the golfing public, let us hear from you.
It is our pleasure to have as new members of our association
Douglas W. Johnson of Framingham Country Club and William N.
Turner of Nashawtuc Country Club. We hope you will both
become active members of the association. Congratulations are
in order for several of our members. At the last meeting, Leon
St.Pierre, of Longmeadow Country Club, was presented his 25
year pin by President Tom Cur ran. Leon has put in a tremendous
amount of time for the association over the years and it is most
appreciated. Greg Deegan, of Unicorn Golf Club, was presented
his Certification Plaque from President Tom Curran. To achieve
the goal of certification is a distinct honor. We must thank Roger
Barry, sports writer for the Quincy Patriot Ledger, for honoring
several of our members. Ray King, superintendent at Plymouth
Country Club, was chosen as Superintendent of the Year. Ray was
commended for not only giving his members a well condition golf
course but also to the participants of two fine tournaments held in
Southeastern Mass., the Hornblower Memorial Tournament and
the Southeastern Amateur Championship. Sam Mitchell was also
honored as Personality of the Year. Sam was honored as a turf
grower, course designer, and club manager. It was noted that
Sam worked for both the club and the course. His support of
competitions has been outstanding and hosting tournaments at
Easton C.C. has made it one of the better known clubs.
For those of you who are attending the GCSAA 47th International Turfgrass Show in Minneapolis Feb. 8-13, there are
several superintendents and university people in our area who
will be speakers. John O'Connell, from Blue Rock Golf Course,
South Yarmouth will speak Monday afternoon on Problems
Associated with Short Course Maintenance. Dr. George 0. Estes,
Associate Professor of Plant Science at UNH will speak Tuesday
afternoon on Growth and Chemical Composition of Kentucky
Bluegrass as Influenced by N Source and K Rate. Fred Cheny,
from Wentworth Fairways, Portsmouth, N.H. will speak Wednesday morning on The Superintendent's Obligation. Dr. Eliot C.
Roberts, Professor, Plant and Soil Science Department, URI, will
speak on Turning on Turf Responses Through Activation of Soil
Systems Thursday afternoon. Also Thursday afternoon, Dr. Owen
M. Rogers, Professor of Plant Science Department, UNH will
speak on Herbaceous Perennials in the Landscape.
Some interesting facts on the conference: expected registration
is 5000, some 150 exhibitors will display nearly $8 million worth of
equipment, and 68 educational speakers will present over 40 hours
of information . . . . A note out of the January 1942 Newsletter
states that at the annual meeting and dance, Mrs. Phil Cassidy
did an excellent interpretation of the "Bumps-a-Daisy" dance,
although handicapped with a ludicrous and unskilled partner!
Was that you, Phil? . . . . There are some people who would like to
see the association name changed to Massachusetts Golf Course

NEW

ENGLAND,

INC.

Superintendents' Association, since most of the other states have
their own association such as Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode
Island, Connecticut, Cape Cod, and a lot of the Vermont people
are with the Northeast association. There are pros and cons for
this idea, a lot would like to keep the tradition of the New England
Association alive, and some feel that to change to Massachusetts
would bring the association closer together. Maybe we can hear
from you as to your thoughts . . . . Nothing will ruin a golf course
quicker than to let nature take its own course . . . . Some ideas
about the association, maybe the winter meetings should be
moved to different locations as are the summer meetings. Once in
the Boston area, once in the Worcester area, and once in the
Springfield area. How about the golf clubs of each state having a
tournament during the season where part of the entry fee be
donated to turf research at the school of their choice? Education
and research are the backbone of our profession. We need closer
association with our universities. Maybe you have some ideas on
this subject — It is rumored that a clerk's error in shipping golf
clubs instead of cricket paraphernalia to Boston in 1890 brought
the Scottish game to New England. Don't forget the next meeting
date, Feb. 2, try and make the meeting. We will be honoring Tony
Caranci and Cosmo Piantedosi for 25 years members of the
association. A reminder, please fill out the cards that you will
receive, listing club president and green chairman so they will
receive the Newsletter. Do this even if there are no changes at
your club, we would like to bring our mailing list up to date. Also,
would like your response, pros and cons, to anything in the
Newsletter or whatever may be on your mind.
