before landing the head man's job at
Tatnuck, where he has served for 14 years.
Steve, currently our Association's
Secretary, has served on the GCSANE

m

Like Bo Jackson,
Phyllis
Gillespie
knows.
For
instance,
Phyllis knows the golf
course.
Closer
to
home, Phyllis knows
the golf course superintendent
Well, she was, uh, "this close" to
being a superintendent.
"No, not that close," Phyllis
corrected over the telephone one day last
month. "But I did work as a
groundskeeper at St. Vincent's Hospital
(Worcester). And I did some of the
things a golf course superintendent does,
like mowing lawns and plowing snow. It
was a valuable experience for me, the
first job I had after graduating from
college."
The connection doesn't end there for
the personable young lady whose present
title of "Executive Director of the
Massachusetts Green Industry Council"
has brought her in touch with the golf
course and its superintendent once more.
But back to the success ladder.
Phyllis, who holds a bachelor of
science degree from the University of
Massachusetts (plant and soil science
her major), has run the gamut in
horticulture, landscape architecture, and
their related fields.
From St. Vincent's, she returned to
providing information and education in
home horticulture as an agent for the
UMass cooperative extension program.
"That was an important time of my
professional life," she informed about
the six years she spent at that job.

"Mostly it was promoting gardening and
working with children in schools with
the idea of educating them in the field. I
also worked with master gardeners, helping to set up a program to streamline that
profession."
Eventually, Phyllis gravitated to the
turf program at UMass, working under
the leadership of Dr. Gail Schuman. At
the time, she accepted the dual role of
administering the extension's home
horticultural program and serving as
coordinator of a Turf Notes endeavor at
the college.
"I also served as liaison between the
turf program and the Green Industry
Council," Phyllis told. "So, my interest
and involvement covered a number of
facets in the fields of horticulture,
landscaping, and turf research. Then
came the budget cuts and there went the
home horticultural program which really
was my main professional thrust."
At the same time came an offer to
become executive director of the Green
Industry Council whose general purpose
is to bring the green industry together
and serve as a strong representative
voice of all professions connected with
it.
Phyllis' initial introduction to the
golf course superintendent and the
profession's role in upgrading the
credibility of the green industry came
through two of the New England
Association's own-Eric Newell of the
Rockland Golf Club and Charlie Passios
of the Hyannisport Club.

on page 2

Page 2
Continued from page 1
Shortly thereafter, the NEGCSA
joined the Council and a strong relationship between the two has developed.
"I think what the Council is most
concerned about with regards to golf
courses and the superintendent is educating the general public on the benefits
derived from both," Phyllis said. "They
are a source of so much environmental
good to the community. They provide
open space, certainly they form their
own beautification program, some
courses serve as bird sanctuaries, all
contribute to recreation endeavors and
tourism, and they have taken the lead in
promoting
ground
water
purity
protection."
Phyllis notes that the Council has no
quarrel with overzealous environmentalists.
"There's a misconception about
this," she advised. "What the Council is
trying to do is help educate the environmentalists as to the green industry's part
in preserving Mother Nature, not
destroying her."
The Council also serves as a lobbyist
in the state legislature when potential
regulatory bills are being presented or
voted on. Again, the Council serves

more as an educator than a persuader in
this pursuit and so far the results have
been encouraging.
Another major project of the Council
is the production and distribution of a
career video, designed to attract good
people to the industry. This is to
accommodate the explosion in the
industry, an explosive that doesn't seem
to want to subside.
"So, we do a lot of things with
people like the golf course superintendents in mind," Phyllis concluded.
"We're even .-located in a golf town
(Sutton and Pleasant Valley). Needless
to say, the relationship between golf and
the Green Industry is thriving~as it
should."

The Super
Speaks Out
This month's question: Do you feel
salesmen should call in advance for an
appointment or practice a drop-in,
unannounced
method
of
providing
service and sales to the golf course
superintendent?
Greg Misodoulakis, Bellevue Golf
Club: "I'm all for conducting my business on a professional basis, so why
shouldn't the salesmen who call on me?
"Overall, I have about five or six
salesmen who stop by on a regular
basis-say, once a month. Strangely,
only one of those calls ahead of time.
"I have to admit that there are a few
salesmen that I know real well and it
really doesn't bother me when they drop
in just to say hello or carry on the time
of day. But even in that case, it would
help if I knew they were coming.
"Of course, coming to my place
without any advance notice isn't the
only practice that bothers me. I also have
one who continually calls me on the
phone (he's from out of the region) and
persists on having me buy something
from him. It's not unusual for him to call
three or four times a day. In fact, I think
he keeps on calling until he hits me
when I'm in my office.
"I know salesmen are in a competitive situation and realize that first-hand
contact is one of their selling devices.
For the most part, I buy the product, not
the personality. So, if someone's trying
to impress me with constant calling, he's
using the wrong tactics.
"But my bottom line is simple. My
message is too. Call ahead and you'll
have a fighting chance to make a sale."

Continued from page 2
Mick Giverson, Westover Golf
Club: "There's no doubt about it. Those
salesmen who call ahead and make an
appointment get my full attention.
Otherwise, it's hit or miss for them.
"Of course, there's always the
situation where salesmen without an
appointment still get a favorable
response. Those are the guys who I give
time to, without them calling in advance,
but time that I give grudgingly.
"I've been the head super here for six
years and I have to say that the salesmen
are starting to come around to a professional type of relationship where they
respect my time just as I do theirs. Most
of them are pretty good about it, too. It's
just a matter of breaking away from old
habits and bringing our relationship up
to date by calling ahead of time.
"Also, there are always those two or
three people who don't think having an
appointment is important. They're
probably the ones I'll never see again
once they learn they can't just drop in
and expect me to drop everything while
they practice their trade. In that case,
you can count on my reaction-no sale."

Gerry Richardson, Bear
Hill
Country Club: "Let me put it this way.
The salesmen who call in advance and
respect the fact that my time is as
valuable as theirs are my main source of
products and equipment.
"Which means that, definitely, I'm
all for letting the salesmen know they
shouldn't expect my full attention if they
stop by without any advance warning to
give me their sales push.
"Regardless, I think the trend has
been established in the last two or three
years. The salesmen have come to
realize they have a better chance to
make a sale if both parties have some
idea of when their presentation will take
place.
"I have rules about salesmen who
don't think they have to be concerned
with how much time I have available for
them. They're the pushy ones. Usually, I
V
_
-

see them coming and tell them I'm all
set before they settle in on me.
"It all boils down to the fact that I
can't afford to stop what I'm doing to
accommodate a salesman who wants my
time when I'm unable to give it to him.
Sooner or later he learns or I never see
him again."
Charles Dickow, Heritage Golf
Club: "This issue-is no issue for me. In
simple terms, the salesmen I do the bulk
of my business with are the ones who
call and let me know 'when they're
coming.
"The problem with salesmen dropping in at their convenience and not
mine is that the timing usually is very
bad. Nine times out of ten it's that day
when I have to spend all of my time on
the golf course. Therefore, they're only
wasting their time, not mine.
"I would think the salesmen would
want to institute the same kind of policy
on their end. Certainly, making an
appointment saves them time and
money. It really doesn't affect me that
way since my policy always has been
that they get my attention only when I'm
able to give it to them.
"Calling in advance makes sense, so
much that I discourage salesmen from
stopping by without letting me know
they're coming. Professionally speaking,
there's no other way to handle this
problem."

Friends of
the Association
Read Sand & Gravel Inc.
Since 1972, Read Sand & Gravel,
based in Rockland, MA, has successfully
grown from a two truck, one location
business to a thriving, major sand and
gravel supplier with five locations, a
fleet of over forty trucks, and forty
employees.
Read has a wide variety of
landscape, masonry, and
drainage
supplies available. All materials are
available for pick up or delivery.
Read Sand & Gravel now successfully services over 100 golf courses in
Massachusetts
and
Rhode
Island.
Materials available consist of top dressing mixes and sands, bunker sands,
screened loam, mulch, stone pack, stone
dust, washed and crushed stones, PVC
pipe and fittings, Railroad and Pressure
treated ties, colored stone, and much,
much more.
The sales staff consists of Mike
Donovan, servicing the Boston and
Foxboro areas and Rhode Island; and
Gerry Pignato, servicing the Middleboro
area as well as Cape Cod and the
Islands. Mike can be reached at
(617) 878-2955. Gerry can be reached at
(508) 888-1021.
Our second Friend for this month
failed to respond.

Dear Paul:
As the 1990 golf season races to its
end, I would like to offer congratulations
to all of my peers on their accomplishments this year. I would also like to take
this opportunity to express my appreciation to the" Board of Directors and
Officers who have been instrumental in
making the year a successful one for the
GCSANE. The commitment of time and
energy that is required for an undertaking of this magnitude, while balancing
the responsibilities at their respective
clubs, is no small one. As a fellow superintendent, I have a keen appreciation of
the situation. I have experienced difficulty in simply attending the monthly
meetings while directing the necessary
attention to my first priority~my job.
Considering the situation that all of
us are faced with, I would like to
propose that the GCSANE give serious
consideration to the concept of employing an Executive Director, similar to the
position held by Mr. George Wemyss
within the NEPGA. Under its current
structure our organization has grown
dramatically. I feel strongly, however,
that
the
organization's
level
of
efficiency and professional development
in meeting the needs of its membership
would be enhanced by employing an
individual in this position.
The creation of this position would
be a representation of our commitment
to
the
improvement
of
the
superintendent's professional image.
The responsibilities of the Executive
Director would include, but not be
limited to, these areas:
Communication:
- Newsletter
- Job/Referral Service
- Surveys
- Announcements

Special Events Coordination
- Educational Meetings and
Seminars
- Fund Raisers
- Golf Outings
- Field Days
Official Representative of the
Organization
- Liaison with manufacturers
- Coordinate activities with
related organizations within
the golf industry, i.e. NEPGA,
ASGCA, etc.
- Educate golfers and club
members about the role and
responsibilities of the
superintendent to further
develop rapport between the
two.
Establish a Resource Library
- Trade Journals/Periodicals
- Research Papers
- Access to turfgrass advisory
computer networks at various
universities
- Textbooks
Having the Director centrally located
would
facilitate
many
of
the
association's activities. All correspondence between members and administration could be directed to a consistent
destination. This trend of consistency
would offer organizational benefits as
well as lending continuity to the association in the transition of Officers.
In no way should the person holding
this position be regarded as a replacement for the current governing body.
Rather, he should function to implement,
coordinate, and reinforce the decisions
of the Board of Directors.
The quality of the efforts put forth by
the current Board members is evident
and the success of the Director would lie
in their continued contributions and
support.
I would welcome the opportunity to
further discuss the proposal presented
here. Thank you for your consideration
of this matter.
