Jack has been the golf course superintendent
at Mt. Pleasant C.C. for the past nine years.
Before that, he worked at Manderly-on-theGreen, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, for five
years. Jack is a graduate of the University of
Lowell and the Winter Turf School at UMass.
He has one daughter, Julia, who is 16. In his
spare time Jack enjoys skiing and golfing.
Directions: From either Rte. 128 or 1-495,
take Rte. 3 to Exit 32 (N. Chelmsford - Westford). At the rotary immediately off the exit,
head toward Lowell by taking a right onto
Westford Road. Go past a shopping center and
the Ford dealer and take a right on Westford
Street. Take the 4th or 5th right (either will
get you there) and follow to the end and Mt.
Pleasant C.C.

The Super Spmks Out
This month The Super Speaks Out takes a different route to its readers with a reach into the past
for some conversations with retired members of the association, it may come as a surprise to
some of you, but these old warriors haven't shriveled up and been blown away by the winds of time.
Phil Cassidy (super stops at the

Phil Cassidy

" A s f o r the s u p e r i n t e n d e n t s ' e n d of

the profession (20 at N e e d h a m , 2 7 at
Weston) as some of the best y e a r s of m y life
as well as the fact that I held every office

then, though, b u t w h a t I like a b o u t n o w is
the w a y the present-day supers are taking

way they're handling them."

Seminars, forums, awards, & trade show
to highlight GCSAA conference Feb. 20-27
Over 15,000
industry professionals
expected t© attend
San Francisco event
An estimated 15,000 to 16,000 golf industry professionals are expected to attend
the 66th International Golf Course Conference and Show, Feb. 20-27, 1995, at the
Moscone Center in San Francisco. The
event, which is the largest in the golf
course management industry, is hosted annually by the Golf Course Superintendents
Association of America (GCSAA).
The week will include nearly 80 educational seminars, sessions and forums; a
three-day trade show, which is expected to
fill 190,000 square feet of the center; a gala
banquet featuring the presentation of
GCSAA's Old Tom Morris Award; the association's annual meeting and election of
officers; and the 1995 GCSAA Golf Championship.
Conference week opens with the annual
GCSAA Golf Championship, which will be
played Feb. 20-21 at five courses on the
Monterey Peninsula. A field of up to 480
will compete for individual and chapter
team honors in the national tournament.
Beginning in 1995, GCSAA's golf championship will be presented in partnership
with The Toro Company.
Many of the educational and professional development needs of golf course
superintendents will be covered in the 60
one and two-day seminars that will be offered during the first four days of the
conference, Feb. 20-24. Seminars will address issues ranging from environmental
responsibility to personal stress management.
Concurrent education sessions and special-interest forums are scheduled Feb.
24-27. Half-day programs hosted by allied
associations, including the American Society of Golf Course Architects, the
American Zoysiagrass Association, the
Golf Course Builders Association of America and the United States Golf Association
Green Section, round out the conference
portion of the week.
Rocky Bleier, legendary running back
for the Pittsburgh Steelers, will keynote

the Opening Session on Thursday, Feb. 23,
at the San Francisco Marriott.
More than 650 companies that manufacture and distribute golf and turf
industry products, supplies and services
are expected to exhibit at the trade show,
which will run Feb. 25-27, at the Moscone
Center. A record 671 exhibitors showcased
their products and services during the
1994 show in Dallas.
A headline performance by recording
artist Anne Murray will provide entertainment at the formal closing banquet on
Monday, Feb. 27.

The highlight of that gala evening will
be the presentation of the Old Tom Morris
Award, GCSAA's highest honor. This
year's award will be presented to turf industry giant, Dr. James Watson. Previous
recipients of the award include Arnold Palmer, Bob Hope, Patty Berg and Byron
Nelson.
The 1994 conference and show in Dallas
drew 15,386 people. More than 1,300 of
those attending were international visitors
and guests, representing more than 50
countries and territories outside the
United States.

Ciba partners with GCSAA to present
certification luncheon at conference
As a tribute to the extraordinary commitment made by certified golf course
superintendents, Ciba Turf & Ornamental
Products has joined forces with the Golf
Course Superintendents Association of
America (GCSAA) to host a certification
luncheon and program during GCSAA's
66th International Golf Course Conference
and Show. GCSAA's annual conference
and show is scheduled for Feb. 20-27,1995,
at the Moscone Center in San Francisco.
The GCSAA and Ciba partnership will
include an exclusive complimentary luncheon and program fdr certified golf course
superintendents to be held Friday, Feb. 24,
in the San Francisco Marriott. In October,
all certified superintendents will receive
invitations to this event.
GCSAA President Joseph G. Baidy,
CGCS, said: "With this new partnership
program, Ciba is helping us to provide even
greater recognition of the importance of
becoming a certified golf course superintendent. GCSAA is extremely pleased and
proud that Ciba has stepped forward to
present this program."
To become certified, a candidate must
have five years experience as a golf course
superintendent, be employed in that capacity, and meet specific educational
requirements of college credit or continuing education units. The candidate then
must pass a rigorous six-hour examination
covering knowledge of GCSAA and its certification program, the rules of golf,

turfgrass management, pest management,
safety and compliance, and financial and
organizational management. The GCSAA
instituted the certification program in
1971 to recognize outstanding and progressive superintendents. More than 1,400
active GCSAA members currently hold
"CGCS" status.
"GCSAA's continuing education and
certification programs produce the best
professionals this industry has to offer,"
said Bill Liles, director of turf and ornamental products for Ciba. "By sponsoring
this event, Ciba is proud to recognize the
professional achievements of highly proficient superintendents."
The luncheon (12:15-1:00 p.m.) will be
followed by a program (1:00-1:45 p.m.).
The program portion of the certification
event will be open to all GCSAA members
and will include a business meeting. There
will be discussion of new eligibility requirements for certification and recognition of
newly certified superintendents.
"In addition to the certification luncheon and program, Ciba has shown their
outstanding commitment to GCSAA over
the years through its support of the Environmental Steward Awards and
sponsoring our Legacy Awards," Baidy
said. Ciba, a GCSAA Affiliate member, is
also a longtime exhibitor at GCSAA's International Golf Course Conference and
Show and a major advertiser in Golf
Course Management magazine.

Five Monterey area courses will play host to
1995 GCSAA Golf Championship Feb. 20-21
Five courses along the Monterey peninsula in California will host the 1995 Golf
Course Superintendents Association of
America (GCSAA) Golf Championship
scheduled for Feb. 20-21.
Presented in partnership with The Toro
Company, the association's 45th championship will test a field of approximately 480
GCSAA members and affiliates.
The host courses for GCSAA's championship are The Golf Club at Quail Lodge,
Old Del Monte Golf Course, Poppy Hills
Golf Course, Rancho Canada Golf Club,
and The Bayonet.
The Golf Club at Quail Lodge, designed
by Robert Muir Graves, was host to the
United States Golf Association's 1975 Senior Amateur and annually is the site of the
California Women's State Amateur. The
6,515-yard layout plays to a par 71 and has
a slope rating of 126. Dennis Kerr is the
golf course superintendent.
Old Del Monte Golf Course, designed by
Charles Maud, originally was a nine-hole
layout that opened in 1895. Old Del Monte
is reportedly the oldest golf course west of
the Mississippi River. At par 72, it plays to
6,278 yards with a slope of 122. Pete Bibber
is the golf course superintendent.
Poppy Hills Golf Course, designed by
Robert Trent Jones, Jr., is owned and operated by the Northern California Golf
