Larry Flaneery — One of a Kind
Larry Flannery says he remembers
the moment. Yeah, but. Yeah, but
we're talking when he was six months
old.
Who remembers way back then?
"I do, I certainly d o , " Larry confirmed his power of recall. "All right,
so I might have been seven months old.
But that's when I got fitted for these
(artificial hands) and this (artificial leg
f r o m the knee down). Of course, these
aren't the original models."
But the original heart is intact. The
20 year old triple-amputee p u m p s it up
every day on the j o b as f o r e m a n , under
golf c o u r s e s u p e r i n t e n d e n t Dick
Duggan at the Concord Country Club.
"And let's not make like we're doing
anyone any favors," Duggan stressed.
"Larry's here because he can do the
job. It doesn't matter if he has to use
hooks instead of fingers. He's a very
valuable member of my crew. He does
anything asked of him. I wish I had ten
guys like him. He's one of a kind."
Larry sounds amazing but insists he
isn't.
Born without hands and one leg,
Angelina F l a n n e r y ' s f a v o r i t e son
always has looked upon his as a normal
condition.
"That's just the way he was from the
moment he could relate to anyone,"
Larry's mother told. "We (Angelina
and Larry's dad who happens to be
another 'Larry') just treated him like
t h e rest of o u r c h i l d r e n a n d he
responded. Sure, there was a social
adjustment he had to make, but he did

that without any problem. Right now
he's just the same as any boy his age—
in the mainstream facing the world as
best he can."
The golf course connection comes
natural to Larry who never attended
any special schools or took part in
formal rehabilitation programs. His
brother, Pat, was in the maintenance
business so Larry just followed him
wherever he went.
"The first j o b I had on a golf course
was at M a y n a r d , " Larry put a tracer on
his interesting life. "I was in the eighth
grade at the time and Dick Duggan was
the super. As I recall, he had me
painting fences most of the time."
Larry left Maynard for the Club at
Bedford where Pat had become the
superintendent. He spent two years,
learning more of the ropes in the
p r o f e s s i o n and t h e n r e t u r n e d to
Maynard when Pat took over as head
man there.
All this time Larry had to keep up
with changes that affected his artificial
appendants.

"I used to change them just like I
changed shoes," Larry disclosed. "As I
grew older and bigger there was a need
to adjust the appendants to changes in
size. Regardless, I never went to any
special school or rehabilitation center
to learn how to use them. I did it on my
own. I was a very independent person
and I still a m . "
Larry also kept up with his age and
academic group in school all the while
he was z e r o i n g in on a f u t u r e
profession.
"He always went to regular school,"
Angelina told. "He didn't want to be
treated any differently than the other
kids. That's some kind of resolve. Oh,
he wasn't any genius in school but he
did all right. I mean, he was...he is a
typical, normal young m a n . "
Larry learned a lot about what
makes the grass grow green and the
accompanying tricks of the trade while
working for brother Pat at Maynard,
after which he decided to take the
winter turf management course at
Stockbridge. That was little more than
a year ago.
F r o m there he worked a couple of
months at Pine Brook before rejoining
Duggan at Concord where Pat had
become Dick's assistant. That was last
J u n e . Since then Larry has been
elevated to f o r e m a n as he continues to
improve his professional position with
the long-range goal of starting his own
irrigation business in sight.
"That's what I have in mind, even
though I enjoy the everyday work
schedule of golf course maintenance,"
he explained. "But I have a girl friend

now, we're making plans and just as
soon as I'm financially able to buy
equipment and what not, I'm going to
take that big step. I told you I was
independent."
Presently, Larry concentrates on the
irrigation phase of golf course maintenance at Concord under Duggan's
supportive presence and the ongoing
guidance of his brother.
"Pat's really been the driving force
behind whatever success I've attained,"
Larry said. "Of course, my parents
were there at the beginning. They
taught me to be self-sustaining and
f r o m there I became self-sufficient. I'll
never be able to repay them."
Larry, who lifts weights to keep in
shape and can bench-press 380 pounds,
was a March of Dimes poster boy as a
y o u n g s t e r and n o w s t a n d s as the
epitome of the self-made man mold as
he heads for another interesting corner
of his inspirational life. Absolutely,
he's one of a kind. He's something
special, whether he likes to hear it or
not.

The Super
Speaks Out
Welcome to the Super Speaks Out—a
monthly feature which offers the golf
course superintendent a forum to
express his or her views on topics and
issues relating to their profession.
This month's question: Do you have
so-called "walkie-talkies"at
your club
and, if so, what has been your experience with them as to becoming a
and
necessary
aid to your duties
projects?
D e a n Robertson,
Kernwood Country
fi* —it
Club: " O h , y o u ' r e

g o i n g to love this.
: A • Jllllli Yes, we have three
portable phones here
;
v
< and I can't remember
the last time I used one.
"Don't get me wrong. I can see a
practical use for them—in an emergency
or when you're talking about setting up
an irrigation system for the season. It's
just that I'm one of those guys who
thinks it's easier to j u m p in a golf cart
and do my communicating face to face.
"Maybe it's because my approach to
t h e j o b is, uh, different. I'm here all the
time. I mean, I get here at 6:15 or so in
the morning and stay around till the
guys (crew) go home. That's five days a
week. Saturdays and Sundays I have a
man who does the same thing.
"I realize there are superintendents
who use the phones and other types to
get a read on what and where their
crews or individuals are up to. Me? I
can account for every second of every
work schedule I draw up for every
member of my crew.

"Repeating, I have nothing against
them, but I just don't have any use for
them."
Gary Mondor, Crestview Country
Club:"Funny that you brought up the
walkie-talkie business. It's something
I'm always talking about but never
seem to get nailed down when I make
my budget.
"All I can say about them is that
we've considered buying them but get
sidetracked f r o m there. Maybe next
year."
Mark Klimm, Bally
Meade
Country
Club: "Originally, we
bought them to keep
track of the workers.
' •
That was in the construction stage of the
course. However, I find myself using
them less and less.
"The biggest help they've been, in
addition to setting up the irrigation
schedule, is with winter plowing. We
have housing developments in conjunction with the course, so the phones are
helpful in this respect.
"However, I can see where they'll
come in handy because we're planning
to expand to 36 holes. That's when I
expect to use them a lot."
Bob DiRico, Brae
Burn Country Club:
"I have to say that the
t i m e s I use my
portables (phones)
are few and far
between.
"But I can see where they can be
utilized, especially at the start of the
season when we're testing irrigation
lines and have to get a read on other
checkpoint operations.
"Actually, they get the most use in
the pro shop when there are t o u r n a ments and communication between the
starters and tournament officials is an
ongoing thing.

" W e also use t h e m f o r security
reasons, especially when patrol groups
are w o r k i n g the golf c o u r s e a n d
parking lots. But for every day use in
regard to maintenance? Not much."
Tom Schofield,
Wellesley Country
Club: "You want to
know the truth? I
think we have three
portable phones but
don't hold me to it
because we haven't counted them
lately.
"I'm not trying to be smart or wise
about the subject, but our location
sometimes can be a drawback to using
the darn things.
"There are a lot of walkie-talkies in
use around our area and they seem to
use the same channel. Therefore, you
get a lot of people squawking through
the box and it makes for another
hazard for golfers. So, they can be a
distraction, especially when a member
or a guest is lining up a putt. Hey,
there's enough noise around the golf
course as it is.
"Actually, 1 seldom use the ones in
our building other than to facilitate
things when we're into putting the
irrigation system together for a new
season.
"And 1 can see where they could be a
big help in an emergency. 1 think it's
just a case of having them at the ready
when they are needed. You never know
w h e n t h a t ' l l be. T h e r e f o r e , it's
probably a good idea to have them
around just in case."

President's
Message
First, I would like
to thank the members
of the G C S A N E for
electing me to represent them as President
of this Association. I
only hope I can carry
the torch as well as Dick Zepp and
those who preceeded him. In the last
two years Dick has been very instrumental in establishing a new dimension
of unity in our Association, and I only
hope with all of your support I can
continue and build upon it.
One goal of mine will be the
continuance of a very active turf-grass
research com., with its first goal to
construct a building at the U. of Mass.
Turf Plots. That would provide the
nucleus to conduct future research
work, as well as a facility to teach
students through the use of on-site
turf-grass trials. This is a lofty goal, but
with cooperation and hard work is very
obtainable.
T h e e n v i r o n m e n t is a l w a y s of
concern to all of us. We are feeling
constant pressure f r o m special interest
groups concerning chemicals and
water usage, a s ' w e l l as mounds of
record keeping. Do not despair!! It is
our responsibility to not only continue
to educate our own employers but to
encourage our fellow G.C. Supt. to get
involved with our organization. Participate, bring a fellow supt. to our
meetings. We are constantly trying to
further our educational programs by
addressing issues of concern. What a
lot of people don't understand is that
we G.C. Supt. have been environmentalists long before it was fashionable.

It has long been a pet peeve of mine
that a few members of our Association
do not show the professionalism that
the majority of our membership does.
Public relations has become a very
large part of our jobs, yet we still have
people who do not make reservations
and do not adhere to dress codes. We
will be a lot more aggressive with our
enforcement of both, showing up to a
meeting w i t h o u t a reservation or
attending in unsuitable attire. The
dress code at winter meetings is a sport
jacket (preferably a tie), and golf
meetings a shirt with a collar and golf
type slacks. No work boots or sneakers
please. Let's show some respect to our
hosts.
In closing, I would like to wish
everybody good luck in the upcoming
year and encourage anyone who has
any contribution to make for the
betterment of our Association to let it
be known to any Board member. It is
our Association and every one of you
can make a difference.
