Dickinson Scholarship Fund — Awarded yearly
to deserving Turf Management Students.

A1 Radko Leaves His Mark
A1 Radko retired the other
month, November 30 to be
precise.
As the old saw goes, A1 has
done it all - from training the
Japanese to become golf instructors to building a putting green on the White
House Lawn for President
Dwight Eisenhower.
In between, he has been a
powerhouse for the Green
Section of the United States
Golf Association. His executive elevator in that August
setting always was on target.
A1 started as a research
assistant, moved up to the
title of Agronomist, then to
Eastern Regional Director and finally peaked out as National Director.
Although the research and development of better turf
spurred A1 through a distinguished 35-year career with
the Green Section, the golf course superintendent might
have been his "pet project".
Radko was forever championing the cause of the super.
In 1979, at one of the many functions of the profession
he decorated with his presence, A1 went out of his way to
praise the dedication of the superintendent.
"The superintendent's profession is a unique one in that
its goal for perfection is unlike most fields," Radko commented. "Well, you hear of baseball players batting .333
and they're considered very good. You also find that basketball players who shoot 50 percent are said to be excellent. The golf course superintendent would hang his head
in shame with those marks. They would crush him."
He added: "It just amazes me how these men and
women (supers) put so much of themselves into approaching that level of course condition bordering perfection. I
really don't know if there can be perfection at the end of
the superintendent's ambitious attempt to attain it, But,
one thing is certain. He has contributed to creating some
of the most beautiful landscapes in the world...that's what
many golf courses are when the superintendent gets
through with them."
Radko was both a friend and constructive critic in his
visible position with the USGA.
Once he suggested that the golf course superintendent
might do well to drop things and take a siesta, so to speak.
"There are times when all of us are entitled to sneak
away from the every day grind that leads to a building of
unneeded tension," he advised. "The superintendent is a
prime example of this ailment. I can see no wrong in him
taking off from the job for a day or two and going fishing.
To keep gnawing away at endless problems without a
break is not the thing to do."
On his job, A1 was a source of invaluable information for
the superintendent. He could tell where the line of winterkill spanned in the Northeast or pick up the pending dan-

gers of dollar spot at a glance.
The turf was his baby, all right. Invariably, A1 would
take to a crusade march with trumpet in hand, blowing
sour notes on the effects of premature spring golf course
openings.
Again, he had the welfare of the super in mind when he
noted, "what the golfer sees and what the superintendent
feels early in the season are two different things. The
golfer is ready to go at the drop of a 60-degree day. But he
doesn't know those 60-degree days mean 30-degree nights
when plants are more susceptible to damage.
"Trying to sell that idea to the country club member is
tough - tough on the superintendent. The pressures are so
demanding that the superintendent overdoes everything
that he should do in moderation. This causes forced
growth of grasses and it hurts in the end. I'm amazed how
the superintendent holds up to it."
Radko's criticism once spread to the GCSANE Newsletter when he took issue with a story intimating that the
USGA advocates solid brown golf courses. A1 had written
an article, "Green Is Not Great", for the USGA Journal
and the Newsletter rebuttal exaggerated it slightly by suggesting that the USGA promoted brown grassed courses.
What Radko had proposed - and it was justified at the
time - was that superintendents sometimes are inclined to
overwater turf in order to maintain a green color. In the
process, the turf turns mushy, soggy and undesireable as
a playing surface.
The Newsletter published Al"s comments and the differences of opinions were out in the open. Later, each party
was back on a hunky-dory relationship round of complementing one another.
A1 Radko, then, was the golf course superintendent's
link to the USGA and the Green Section in his 35 years of
fruitful input into the same of golf. The profession, particularly its New England wing, wishes him well and restates
its undying expression of appreciation for all he accomplished with its well being and improved status in mind.
He's the closest thing to perfection it's seen yet.

Profile of the Month:

The Greening of Gannon
EDITORS NOTE: This article was originally in the Lynn
Daily Item in September 1981. Mr. Tom Dalton should be
congratulated on his story for giving a fellow superintendent some good publicity. Steve Murphy should be equally
as proud.
LYNN — If Steve Murphy worked in Hollywood, he'd be^a
million dollar a year plastic surgeon driving a Rolls Royee
with a vanity plate "Mr. Fixit".
As it is, the Lynn Municipal Golf Course superintendent
has, in five years, built a reputation as the man responsible
for the greening of Gannon. He makes grass grow where none
ever has before, turns bone-dry greens into lush carpets,
places sand traps where God Intended them to be and turns
asphalt-hard tees into velvet launching pads.
Hyperbole?
Listen to the experts.
Gannon head pro Mike Foster: " At our 50th anniversary
this Summer, George Wemyss (New England PGA director)
said our course was the No. 1 municipal golf course In New
England."
Gannon club champion Mike Cole: "Steve represents the
turning point in the history of our club."
Lynn Superintendent of Parks and Playgrounds Gene Dooley: "He's turned Gannon into the finest municipal course in
the Northeast.
Before 1976, when the 30-year-old Murphy was hired as its
greenskeeper, Gannon had become the dumping ground of
North Shore golf. It was the refuge of a few Happy Valley (its
former name) diehards, young kids who couldn't afford to play
anywhere else, and old men who knew they'd never have to
fight for a tee time.
But you'd never find a self-respecting golfer there. Tedesco
and Salem members closed their eyes and held their noses
every time they drove down Lynnfleld Street.
Then along came Steve Murphy with his square jaw, Irish
good looks, and a fierce desire to pump life back into the
wasteland of Lynn Woods, once a showpiece under the care of
Dick Walton and Gene Dooley. From the start, he turned people's heads.
"I remember his interview for the job," said a Park Commissioner. "He came in here thinking everything in Lynn was
political and was sure somebody else had the job locked up.
So he told us what he thought. He said the course had great
potential but we were letting it go to waste. We liked his candidness and hired him right then and there.''
_ But it was axough start,
- _
"I remember the first day very well," said Murphy. "Only
two pieces of equipment were working so I had to walk around
the course.
"They had set ways of doing things at Gannon," continued
the Ashland native, "and I knew I had to change them. I
remember walking around the course with three of the older
members and they told me what changes they'd like to see.
When they finished, I told them they were wrong.''
That first year Murphy redesigned the tees from astroturf to
grass and made them, on an average, nine times as large.
After that, with the help of foreman Bob Ford, mechanic Joe
Cahoon and temporaries Bob Bogart and Harry Dyer, came 15
new sand traps, a putting green, a renovated 13th tee, and
vastly improved fairways.
The Murphy touch has paid dividends off the course as well.
Gannon's pocket book was heftier than ever.

"This past July represented the first time in the history of
the course that we've broke even financially," said Dooley.
"Foster estimates that 50,000 rounds of golf were played at
Gannon this past year compared to 30,000 rounds five years
ago. The proof is definitely in the putting.
"I'd like to sit here and say I'm a miracle worker," said
Murphy, who has a degree in turf management from UMass,
"but I'm not. I know my stuff and am proud of the job I've
done, but if the people behind me didn't care and support me
all the way it wouldn't make any difference what I did, I'm fortunate to get the support I do from Gene Dooley, Mayor (Tony)
Marino, the Park Commission, and Mike (Foster). It makes my
job that much easier."
And with that Murphy turned and walked off down a cart
path...stopping, of course, every few feet to pick up stray
pieces of paper.
Anything to make Gannon greener.

President's Mess ige
As we enter the New Year, I would like to take this opportunity in expressing my sincere thanks to the entire
membership of the New England Golf Course Superintendents Association for electing me the 28th President of
your Association.
Ever since its' inception in 1924, this Association has
made great strides forward. From our first President, the
late John Shanahan, right on down the list to our outgoing President Ron Kirkman, there have been many individuals for whom I have a great deal of respect. Prof. Lawrence S. Dickinson, Arthur Anderson, and Manny Francis
Sr. are only a few of the many that have made this Association what it is today; Successful! I hope that during my
administration, I can make a contribution to its continued
success.
An Association can only be as strong as its membership.
I look forward to your continued support through attendance and participation at our meetings. Knowledge is the
greatest asset that we can obtain in our profession. By attending local and national conferences, we can all benefit
to strengthen ourselves as Superintendents.
Again, many thanks and I hope to see you all in New Orleans.

Winter Weather
Our weather here in New England always brings many
surprises. The past cold spell has assured us there will be
no "Thaw". We have had an ice cover in most areas for
quite a while, so it should be interesting to see what transpires from now till spring.
