At Last - Geoff Cornish One of “ Us”
You might call it coming full circle or completing a 360.
Whatever, one of the giants of his craft has returned to his professional roots.
Alas, Geoff Cornish is one of “us” - again.
T h at’s right, Cornish - a master among golf course architects - has been voted
honorary membership in the Golf Course Superintendents Association of New
England.
Obviously, the honor is well-deserved. Geoff has been friend, adviser,
supporter and colleague of golf course superintendents from one end of the
world to the other. In fact, he once tried his hand at grooming the grounds.
“Oh, that was part of my training in golf course architecture under Stanley
Thompson,” Geoff explained. “He thought no one should be an architect before
he worked the turf. Therefore, I put some time in at the maintenance level of
golf. I think Stanley was right. Every golf course architect should experience the
superintendent’s problems.”
The NEGCSA honorary membership follows a line of recognition vehicles,
parked in Cornish’s awards garage. Geoff has received similar honors from the
Golf Course Superintendents Association of America, National Golf
Foundation, UMass Turf Conference and the American Society of Golf Course
Architects - a distinguished group he served as president in 1975.
“I’m very gratified over this (NEGCSA recognition),” Geoff beamed from his
home at lyrical Fidlers Green in Amherst. “After having worked and studied
under Lawrence Dickinson at (University of) Massachusetts, I’ve kind of
thought of myself as a link between him and this generation of golf course
superintendents.
“All of this is very pleasing to me. Why, some of the present-day
superintendents are grandsons of men I knew. But, believe me, I ’ll never feel
strange in their presence. I ’ve been so close to the superintendents all these years,
I ’ve always felt I was one of them.”
Cornish takes bows for his architectural gems all over the world. He is, in fact,
engaged in a project of note away from New England - in the middle of a creation
on the Island of Aruba. This is old hat, though, since Geoff’s work place has no
out of bounds markers.
Of course, one of his sparkling jewels is closer to home - in Brewster where
The Captain’s Course has become the talk of the golf course architectural world.
This beauty on Cape Cod is something special among the 186 courses that
reflect Cornish’s brilliant brush marks. Golf Digest topped its recognition by
naming The Captain’s Course the best new public course of the year (1985).
“I must tell you a story about that,” Geoff remarked. “Amy Alcott (LPGA star)
played the Captain’s and was so impressed with it that she wrote to Golf Digest.
Then, all of a sudden, things took off and the course started to get raves.”
Golfers beat the magazine to it, though.
“It’s amazing - the response to the Captain’s,” Geoff revealed. “We opened in
May and at the end of October the course had grossed $656,000 in green fees. I’d
have to say its acceptance exceeded any projection we may have had.
“It does have attractions, though. The bent grass fairways are a precedent. The
roughs are blue grass with natural pine needles as a topping. I think it could host
a major tournament. It measures 6,700 yards from the back tees and has all the
ingredients that go into the making of a championship course.”

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY — THE WATER MANAGEMENT ACT

T I T L E O F LEGISLATION
SENATE 2447: AN ACT RELATIVE T O T H E ESTABLISHMENT OF A
MASSACHUSETTS WATER MANAGEMENT ACT

LEGISLATIVE H I S T O R Y
T h e Act was drafted as a result of extensive study by the Special Legislative Commission on Water
Supply, chaired by Senator Amick and Representative Cusack. As passed, the Act, Senate (S.) 2247, was
modified significantly in content from earlier versions (S. 1222, A. 1792, S. 2115, and S. 2307).
Significant changes from earlier drafts (S. 1792) include elimination of the Water Management Fund
into which permit and registration fees would be paid, and extension of the m a x i m u m permit period
from 5 to 20 years. T h e act was signed December 18, 1985, and becomes effective on March 18, 1986. It
adds a new Chapter 21(G) to the Massachusetts General Laws.

O V E R A L L SUMMARY
This Act would statutorily provide for the comprehensive management of the surface and
groundwater of the Commonwealth by means of a new Chapter 21G. Lender the chapter, DEQE,
conjunction with the Water Resources Commission, would be granted broad regulatory authority to
oversee all usage of water within the Commonwealth, including the prioritization of applications for
water withdrawal permits. Currently, the State is only authorized to regulate the withdrawal of water
based on water quality, to ensure public health and safety. T h e Water Management Act would for the
first time authorize the State to also regulate the quantity of water withdrawals, to ensure adequate
water supplies for both current and future needs. Under this chapter, a "withdrawal volume
threshold" is set at 100,000 gallons per day (gpd), 36.5 million gallons yearly (although it may be
adjusted by DEQE to a lower level), the a m o u n t at which a water user must register with DEQE and
obtain a withdrawal permit for continued use of the water, which will not be valid for over 20 years and
to which DEQE may attach such conditions as it deems necessary.
Under the new Chapter 21G, DEQE is also given much greater authority to act in, and oversee, water
supply emergencies. DEQE is further authorized to assess civil penalties of u p to $10,000 plus a $2,500
surcharge per day of violation, or to seek j udicial relief via Superior Court, against violators of this Act
or any relevant orders or regulations. T h e implementation and enforcement of the Chapter will be
paid for in part by permit and registration fees and civil penalties.

— The Super Speaks Out —
(Welcome to The Super Speaks Out
- a monthly feature which offers the
golf course superintendent a forum to
express his views on topics and issues
relating to his profession.)
This month's question: What effects
of the Bottle Bill, if any, have occurred
at your course since its
implementation?
Art Miller, Nabnassett Lake
Country Club: "Oh, there's no doubt
that the bill has made a considerable
difference in the appearance of our
course.
"Its impact is something special
here, because we're practically a
connector for Edwards Beach which
means that people pass through with
enough bottles and cans to pepper our
place.
"So, things are looking much better
around here.
"Of course, there still are kids who
don't care. They seem to let the cans
and bottles fly even though they're
throwing money away. But we'll
always have to put u p with their kind.
"Before the Bottle Bill cleaned
things up, we really had a problem
because we'd get a lot of broken glass.
T h a t made for a tedious maintenance
chore and it took someone away from
more important things.
"Now, we don't have to worry about
that. If the people don't think twice
about discarding their bottles and
cans, there are kids who pick u p after
them to make a little side money. Hey,
instead of finding golf balls, they're

finding bottles and cans.
"So, I have no complaints. T h e
Bottle Bill's been good for me and
good for Nabnassett."
Herb Morton, Braintree Municipal
Golf Course: I'm a guy who wears a lot
of hats in the town recreation
department, so the Bottle Bill has been
sort of a blessing for us.
"In addition to the golf course, I'm
responsible for athletic fields and a
couple of swim areas. Therefore, you
can imagine how much rubbish I was
confronted with before they made you
bring back those empties.
" T h e Bottle Bill has helped us two
ways. Since the work area is so spread
out, it has discouraged gathering of
litter. Then, also it has created a new
self-employed class - the people who
go around and pick u p redeemable
bottles and cans and put money in
their pocket doing it."
' 'Again, because I take care of a lot of
recreational ground, the results of the
bill have brought about a savings on
maintenance in all areas.
"Before it came along, bottles and
cans were one big headache for me.
Now, they're almost a memory."
Orrin Ellis, Lexington Golf Club:
"Well, the Bottle Bill has taken care of
a small portion of my clean-up
problems and I guess I should be
happy about that.
"But this is a funny place. Would
you believe that some people put their
empties, nice and neat, in cases and
then toss them into the woods around

the course? And, most of the time, they
don't come back to turn them in for the
buck or so you get on a case.
"I've always found that some folks
(mostly younger people) think of the
golf course as a picnic area. Hey, no
kidding, we've had a run on food
parties here. One weekend, it would be
pizza. T h e next, we'd come across the
remains of a Chinese smorg.
"We still get empty beer bottles,
though. I suspect they're the result of
underaged kids drinking. Someone
gets the stuff for them, so they can't
bring the bottles and cans back for the
refund. I mean, where there's a way,
people will remain litter bugs.
"I just think the golf course and the
superintendent are fair game for these
people. And I've had it all here, even a
few instances when somebody was
trying to grow 'grass'. You know the
kind I mean.
"So, the Bottle Bill has been a help
to keeping the litter from piling up.
However, it's not a cure-all to the
overall problem. In my mind, litter
bugs have to clean u p their act,
themselves."

our faults is our best and truest friend

disclosed. "And the first thing I think of is how a golfer looks at a course. His competing in the 10-11 age group
