Bob Johnston Crosses Border
Bob Johnston slipped over the
boarder a couple of months ago and
thought the act would go unnoticed.
"It's no big deal," Johnston noted. "I
just got myself a better job, a bigger
challenge. It happens every day."
Johnston, in fact, has taken a big step
toward in his career as a rising golf
course superintendent. He now holds
that position at the prestigious Wampanoag Country Club
in West Hartford, Conn, after serving the satisfied folks at
the Hampden Country Club (Mass.) for the last 10 years.
The move means that Johnston will become a two-letter
man, if you will. He intends to retain his membership in
the Golf Course Superintendents Association of New England, but he'll also join the Connecticut branch of the professional cult.
"True, I won't be as active in New England as I have," he
informed. "But I'll be dropping in on a few meetings. I've
made too many friends in our organization to drop out.
After all, it's been my home ever since I got interested in
the business."
Johnston has been a GCSANE member for more than 10
years and has been a visible and viable part of its recent
resurgence. At the end of this season, he completed a long
and productive stint as a director and finance chairman.
"The association really has been on the upswing," he
said. "I think the people running it are top-shelf. It seems
that participation has expanded and everything takes a
positive look. It's been a learning experience for me, one
that's helped me in my goals."
Johnston's roots are firmed up in the section he's leaving. Bob was brought up in Concord, attended high school
there and sort of stumbled onto the realization that golf
course grooming was right up his alley.
He was introduced to the profession in 1965 by Dave
Barber who was running the show at Wayland.
"Dave was the guy who headed me out of the darkness," Bob revealed. "When I went to Wayland, I didn't
know what I was gong to do for the rest of my life. But I
fell in love with the job from the first day and I was
hooked on it."
Johnston spent two years at Wayland and then moved
on to work for Wayne Ripley at Blue Hills and Walpole. All
the time he was hitting the books and looking towards the
opportunity to take over his own job.
After graduation from Stockbridge in 1969, Johnston
clicked for four years as head superintendent at Wennesuket in South Bellingham.
"That was my first real challenge," he recalled. "It was
a small club but just the right size for me to find out if I
were really cut out for the profession."
Obviously, the experience was to Bob's liking. He spent
four years at Wennesuket, then accepted the call to
Hampden in 1974. He was just turning the corner of his
10th season there when Wampanoag reached out for his
expertise in December.
"This is the kind of job I've been pointing for," Bob disclosed. "Not that Hampden wasn't an important step in

r

my career and a good place to work. However, there are
some long-range projects in the forming stage at Wampanoag. It's a course with heavy play and a membership that
seeks top performance and rewards it."
Wampanoag, in fact, is a creation of famed architect
Donald Ross. That, in itself, intrigues Johnston.
"I've already dug out the original blueprints and maps
Donald Ross used when the course was laid out in 1926,"
Bob told. "I'm going to get them framed, spruce up the office and make it look like we're here for bigger and better
things."
There won't be much of an adjustment for Bob, although he'll have a closer relationship with the green
committee at Wampanoag. His arrangement at Hampden
was such that he was virtually on his own since that club
was operated by a single owner.
"I'm already working on my public relations here," he
added. "That's the philosophical approach I'm taking one I've always stressed. I think a superintendent has to
take the first step in forming a solid relationship with
members. I've already walked the course several times,
hoping to meet members. I want to know them and for
them to know me."
Bob, who just passed re-certification shortly after his
38th birthday, and his wife, Bette, have moved to East
Granby - about 10 miles from Wampanoag.
"So far, so good," Bob said of his new life. " I can't wait
for spring to pop. I want to make it here, make it big."
Not to worry, Bob. Off your track record, you will, you
will.

Super Gets USGA Boost

GCSANE Election Results

For years, the golf course superintendent has toiled in
the shadow of his surroundings as if his were an isolated
job set apart from the other workings of the country club.
However, no less an authority than the United States
Golf Association (through its president) believes the lines
of communication between supers and golfers are in need
of added spark.
The USGA notes that the ideal situation presents an arrangement whereby the club membership is represented
by a key person in an exchange of needs, opinions, explanations and the like of both parties.
Such a setup exists in most clubs with the green chairman assuming the responsibility of establishing a link between the members and the superintendent. Yet, terms of
the arrangement often are violated by overzealous members who feel their input must be recognized in the every
day operation of grooming the golf course.
For that reason, the USGA suggests that the green
chairman be entrusted with the job of getting to appreciate the problems a super encounters, relate same to the
membership and perhaps clear up the fallacy that course
maintenance is based on a snap-judgment act by the superintendent.
Probably the most persistent complaint by superintendents, in relation to their main function of improving and
maintaining playing conditions, is that there are too many
bosses to deal with.
The USGA recognizes this and, in turn, advises country
clubs and public courses to take a second look at their
communication lines with the super.
More specifically, the USGA feels any criticism on the
condition of the golf course should come from a single
source (green chairman or owner). That source also
should be educated in the maintenance field so as to be
able and worthy to make such criticism on a constructive
note.
This may sound all well and good. However, it has come
to the attention of several superintendents that the designated overseer often is not qualified to either make constructive criticism or lend rallying support when it is needed.
Much too often the green chairman serves for one term
(sometimes a minimal one year) and never seems to get a
grasp of the overall situation until it is time for him or her
to turn over the title to someone else.
Therefore, the USGA also suggests that country clubs
move in the direction of establishing a green chairman
(one person) on a permanent basis, provided the relationship between the super and chairman has proven satisfactory in the past.
The sad aside to dependence on a green chairman for
the very important task of feeding and receiving input in
the super relationship is that many appointments to the
post are made on a friendship and not a practical basis.
Then, too, many clubs are not aware of another ideal
situation or grooming future green chairmen under an
assistantship appointment. This has proven beneficial to
both the superintendent and country club when it is applied.
It has been said that more than a few supers live in a
shell and prefer as little contact with members as possible. Perhaps the reason for this is job-preservation in light
of the fact that some members take it upon themselves to
restrict their end of a communication with the super to
criticism.
Again, appreciation of the golf course superintendent's

role in the overall operation of the club lies at the bottom
of unnecessary and undeserved criticism. However, it is
not to be expected that every member take the time to understand how much goes into a course grooming program
and how much knowledge the super must have in order to
make it succeed.
The USGA theory, then, appears to have merit. But does
this mean putting a gag on every member other than the
green chairman?
Not really, however, criticism should take form in a
chain of command process. The individual member speaks
to the green chairman who in turn takes up the complaint
with the super. And that goes for praise, too.
Whatever, the superintendent doesn't have time to listen to 350 bosses. Most assuredly, neither does the member in his life away from the club. It would appear that
common sense rules here and the USGA has come
through with it in spades.
Now, if only the country clubs will take heed.
