Dave out standing on his picturesque golf course i
Woodland Golf Club

Sometimes it's not easy following in your
father's footsteps. Unless you're Dave
Mucciarone. Dave is among that growing
legion of young golf course superintendents
who are keeping it in the family, taking to
their father's shoes as if they were pairs of
comfortable slippers while keeping a priceless tradition alive.
He tucks in the Woodland Golf Club
every night. This is his second year as the
popular course's head super. But he has a
long way to go to catch dad, Norm
Mucciarone, who whipped Woodland into
shape during a successful 40-year stay.
So, is there life after father for Dave who
was virtually Norm's designated replacement
when he served as Woodland's assistant super and earned a glowing reputation in die

turf consultant field? "Oh, sure,
there is," replied the one-time No. 2
man on the Newton North High
School team. Everything's working out great. . .for both of us.
Almost every day I find myself
leaning on some dp my father gave
me or maybe a suggestion he might
drop."
"He's still very interested in my
career and also the course conditioning process at Woodland. He
really doesn't play here that often.
However, he manages to sneak in a
look at the course every now and
then. I think he likes what he sees.
Maybe because I'm doing things
the way he did when he was in
charge."
In fact, Dave probably wishes
Norm would play more rounds at his old
place of business. "What I mean is that when
my father looks at the course now, he does it
as a player for the most part," Dave explained. "And, it's true. Sometimes a golfer
sees things a golf course superintendent
doesn't. Some of us view die job from a
restricted position and it's easy to overlook
some mistakes or little missed assignments
that may add to the overall efficiency of our
maintenance programs."
For instance, Norm was and is a stickler
for details. He thinks the little responsibilities a super has are just as important as the
bigger ones. "It might fall under the heading
of constructive criticism but something like
a half-filled rubbish barrel that should be
emptied might get my attention after dad

context is maintined. We would appreciate a credit line.

tools around the course," Dave told. "It's not
so much that he wants to catch me at something, he just wants everything to be just
right. And, really, I welcome that kind of
input. It keeps me on my toes. It's also sort
of a reminder that I, or anyone, should never
get complacent over the job. It's good to have
him looking over my shoulder, so to speak."
One of the Mucciarone traits Dave has
worked into his regimen is an early work
call. He makes it a point to be at the course
by five o'clock or as his father puts it, "be
there when the greens wake up."
"That's a must for me," Dave said. "I
think I should be around when the maintenance schedule for that day takes off. For us,
it means the sprinklers start popping up at
5:30 a.m. I like to be there when ithappens."
Such religious attention to on-the-job reporting comes naturally. "When I was a kid,
getting into the habit of going to the gold
course with my father in the morning, I had
to make sure of an early start," Dave continued. "He was a 5 a.m. person and if I wanted
to join him, I got one wakeup call. If I wasn't
ready when he was, he left without me. So,
that took care of turning me into a permanent
early riser."
Dave emphasizes that there never was
any question as where his place in the work
world would be. However, the exact location was another story. At one time he
thought about becoming a pro. "I think
everyone who plays a better than average
game of golf acquires an inclination to vision
himself as a Tour player," Dave laughed.
"With me, it was only kid stuff, fantasizing.
When the serious part of my future was on
the line, I knew that becoming a super was
the only way to travel."

The younger member of the Mucciarone
course conditioning team made that o f f i c f / — ^
when he took on the turf educational program
at Stockbridge. Then, Norm pumped up the
cause to keep Dave on die, uh, right course by
making his son his assistant. However, there
was just a slight obstacle ahead, one that
might preclude Dave from succeeding his
father at Woodland.
"When dad started to think about retiring,
that was three years ago, there was a natural
personal reaction," Dave recalled. "There
was talk around the club that I'd follow in his
footsteps but nothing concrete. After all, I
was a young married man with responsibilides away from the job."
"So, I wanted to get my future set up.
There was another offer from the Nehoiden
Country Club, die one Wellesley College
owns. I'd been consulting there and they
wanted me to take over altogether. Therefore, I went to the Woodland people, explained the situation and wanted to know
where I stood. Obviously, they told me what
I wanted to hear and here I am."
Dave maintains that die one outstanding
job-related asset he has comes from t h o s ^ ^
many years observing and working with 1)
father. He calls it a built-in insight or knowing what to expect in die way of turf disease
and other maintenance problems before they
occur.
"I already know what to do before it
happens," he explained. "There are no surprises here because of all I learned from my
father. And I'm still learning. . .from my
silent partner. Our relationship, our association couldn't have had a happier on-going
state."

-The Super Speaks Out:
This month's question: With one of the driest early (May, June, July) golf
seasons behind us, how did you cope during that agnonizing spell of strained
maintenance conditions?
Kevin Killoy, Quaboag Country Club:
"Ihaven't seen the numbers yet since Monson
is a once-a-year water bill town. However,
I'm sure that it (bill) will be considerably
more than usual.
"That takes care of the water source which,
fortunately for me, is no problem. We use
water, plenty of it, but no as much as other
businesses in town. There's a plastic injection company just down the street, so water
must be available in virtually limited supply
in this area."
"This is my first year as head super at
Quaboag but I know the lay of the land and
its reaction to the weather because I've worked
here for the last 12 years. For one tiling, as
a nine-hole golf course, Quaboag is a com-designed layout, so the irrigation sysj\ has a relatively long reach."
" Therefore, we were able to keep more
than 60 percent of our roughs irrigated. The
rest we just left to brown up with hopes that
a normal rainfall in late summer and fall
would bring it back to greening country."
"Probably the most obvious effect the
lack of rain had on our overall maintenance
program is that it made for long days. That's
because the irrigation system is only partially automatic. Which has made for a lot of
manual watering. During that period I went
on a 35-liour watering week. It was a daily
thing, usually starting around 4:30 and finishing at 9:15 or 9:30 (a.m.). In the process
I'd estimate that the drought (and diat's what
it was) doubled my manual watering hours."
"Otherwise, there were no drastic measures to present a complete greening look to
the course. We just pumped as much water
as we could into die course and let the fringe
areas (unreachable roughs) brown out."
" Perhaps die most important aspect to
the strain on the program was the members'
^response. If there were any complaints about
^P^urse condition, I didn't hear them. In fact,
me only work I got and from many sources
was that playing conditions were as good if
not better than ever."

Dick Zepp,
Whitinsville Golf
Club: "First, let me
say that the weather
conditions almost
from the start of the
season through the
early days of July
were the worst in
matter of negative
rainfall that I've ever
experienced.
"From a personal standpoint, there was
just one inch of rain at Whitinsville between
the middle of April and the middle of July.
That's about as dry as it gets anywhere."
"Again, from where I'm responsible for
the playing ability and looks of the golf
course, the situation became acute because
Whitinsville is a very dry course to begin
widi. It's set on a combination of sand and
gravel, requiring a lot of water to keep it
green."
"So, my irrigation system which is completely automatic, was humming away during what naturally was a stress period for
plant life here. The positive aspect to its
continual use was the Mumford River, our
source of water. No problem in that neck of
course conditioning."
"As for the roughs, we just let the irrigation system dictate where die line between
green and brown would begin. Our system
leaps out to about 20 or 30 feet into the
roughs. Beyond diat, it was every blade of
grass for itself."
"I should add that there was a slight complication combating the drought. It necessitated some hand-watering in overly dry spots
in the fairways. Other than that, I relied on
technology and occasional rain dances to
turn die oven down and keep baking-out to a
minimum."

Rick Giverson, Westover Golf Club: "I
have no flow meter on my irrigation system.
However, I'd guess that a once-a-day watering schedule here accounts for an output of
250,000 gallons."
"That was a constant for almost three
months into the season. Itmighthavereached
a critical stage, too, because our water source
is a man-made pond that has reached a point
where remedies must be taken to keep it
working at full tilt."
"Therefore, there has been talk of putting
in a holding pond which would be a proj ect in
itself."

"Wehvi)-.

midity instead

of those 2Q~
minute downpours which were
more of a nuisance than a help."
••/.••:.; v

"Away from those thoughts, coping with
the sandy soil has been a strain in dry periods
because we usually end up baby-sitting our
greens to keep them up to snuff. Syringing
the greens, then, upset my overall schedule
somewhat."
"The rough browning line followed the
reach of our automatic irrigation system. It
hit 20 feet in from either fairway after which
the browning effect took hold."
"However, I'm happy to say that ¡lie course
and its condition held up through all the
stress. What we hoped for going into the
middle of July was a couple of weeks of relief
from the heat and humidity instead of diose
20-minute downpours which were more of a
nuisance titan heip."

/HEISAGE

As we look back at the past summer, very few golf course managers need to be reminded of the
tremendous challenges that faced us during the last few months. While our water problems are not
quite over, to date, relief is surely on the way. Our GCS ANE members need to be congratulated for
their efforts and successes.
While all of our members prepare their courses for event after event each week, I would like to take
a moment to acknowledge the following four members of GCSANE, for the fine course conditions
afforded at their facilities, during the following major events: On June 21-23, the Mass. State Open
was prepared for by Peter Hasak at the Tedesco Country Club. On July 22-25, Randy Kehres,
CGCS., successfully prepared the Pleasant Valley Country Club for the PGA Tour's New England Classic. On July 29Aug. 1, Dave Barber, CGCS., again prepared the Blue Hill Country Club for the LPGA Tour's Ping Welch's
Championship and on August 2-8, the Senior PGA Tour's Bank of Boston Nynex Senior's Classic was prepared for by
Paul Miller, CGCS., at the Nashawtuc Country Club. Congratulations to those individuals for the hard work and
planning, particularly during such adverse weather conditions.
Our Association's first Memorial Tournament was conducted at the Wachusett Country Club on August 24. Proceeds
from this event will provide the initial funding of the GCSANE Benevolent Fund (details to follow in Sept. Newsletter).
Thanks to Wachusett Country Club owner and superintendent, Don Marrone, Jr., for his tremendous generosity and fine
hospitality. Thanks to all who attended and also to those who didn't get to play, but participated by s e n d i n g ^
contributions anyway. The Ouimet Scholarship Fund conducted a special Golf Marathon on August 10, in celebratk
of its Centennial Campaign, the 100th anniversary of the birth of Francis Ouimet. This event took place at the Stow Acres
Golf Club, where Andy Langlois in now golf course superintendent. The funds raised from this marathon event will
go toward current renovations planned for the Ouimet Museum, which houses the operations of the Mass. Golf
Association, Ouimet Fund and the Women's Golf Assoc. of Massachusetts.
Incidentally, the MGA staff now includes a position filled by Mr. Tom Landry, formerly of the Georgia Golf
Association. Mr. Landry is Director of member services, which was created to better facilitate the services that the MGA
member clubs expect and demand of the MGA.. .Congratulations to the MGA Executive Board, staff, and tournament
committee and officials, for the successful planning and conducting of the Mass. Open at Tedesco Country Club and
the Mass. Amateur at the Essex Country Club.
One last matter that deserves mention at this time involves a new Mass. Pesticide Regulation which became effective
in mid-July. Mr. John Kenney, of the Pesticide Board in Boston, has informed me that all applications of pesticides in
Massachusetts, whether these pesticides are restricted or non-restricted, will soon be required to be licensed by the
Commonwealth. Details of this new regulation will be available very soon and posted. Finally, let's not forget the plan
for the 1993 GCSANE Research Tournament at Willowbend Club on September 27th. Host Supt. Bob St. Thomas has
this new facility looking quite gorgeous. Hope to see you there in September.
Stephen Chiavaroli, CGCS.
