Franklin C.C/s Mike Luccini ¡©©Iks back on
a year without his father, mentor, & friend
©n the first anniversary of his dad's passing,
Mike Luccini was stuck in a pensive
mood. His reflections of "Dad" - Gary
Luccini, the Franklin Country Club golf
course superintendent whose compelling
demeanor and personality won him
countless friends and admirers - were
running wild.
It's been a little more than a year since
.,is passing, and I feel pretty good again,"
Mike said. "Of course, the fact that I have
succeeded him as superintendent at
Franklin has helped me get over the
emotional hump. He was my father, my
mentor, and most importantly, my friend.
We did many things together and a lot of
him stayed with me. Becoming the giant
figure he was on and off the golf course is
something I could only hope to come
close to."
Indeed, Gary was a giant and cast a
long shadow on the golf course superin-

tendents' profession. He brought Franklin
to the top of the heap with his skills as a
turf-grooming wizard, and was a model
for his peers in the delicate department
of pleasing country club members. That's
where his personality took over. He had
that magic touch. "lb know him was to
love and respect him.
As ail who knew him know, Gary had
two sides to his persona. He was gruff
in a way that intrigued, yet gentle in the
final run. If you had him as a friend, you
had a friend for life. By the way, there
never has been reported a sighting of a
Gary Luccini enemy. As Dave Barber,
former GCSANE president praised,
"you might try and try but you'd never
hear a bad word about Gary. He was
loving and loyal . . . a real man."
Mike Luccini runs into comparisons
with his dad. He doesn't mind that natural
reaction to the fact he now wears his
father's shoes, so to speak.
"There are differences," Mike noted.
"My father was from the old school.
He was outgoing and never bashful. He
was like a lot of the other old-timers in
our business. They all have their own
personalities. That's an admirable trait.
We younger guys are probably a little
more cautious and reserved with our
relationships with members."
Mike also thinks the old approach has
many good merits. "I can't put my finger
on it exactly," he continued. "But a lot of
the veteran superintendents were forced
to do a lot more with a lot less than what
we have today. Many of them have that

'I'm proud to be
a member of
a profession with
so many good people.
The respect my
fathers peers had
for him was
tremendous."

the author and/or person quoted, a n d m a y not represent

publication m a y b e u s e d freely, in whole or in part,

certain charisma that you don't see as
much today, and they weren't afraid to
make their views known even if they
weren't popular. There was also a
stronger tendency to do many things
in-house that we contract out today. For
my father, it was an insult to him to have
a contractor on the site for any courserelated improvements."
However, there also was a flip side to
the Gary Luccini method of getting things
done. "He never rushed into new ideas
about his craft," Mike told of his father.
"He accepted change but he was always
mindful of those horror stories about
experiments that went wrong. He was
cautious about trying something different
without giving it a lot of thought. That
conservative split with his gung-ho
approach to life was always there."
The comedic side of Gary Luccini
comes through Mike's reflections when
talk of Gary's avocation of telecasting
Franklin High School hockey games revs
up the conversation.
'Anyone who watched the hockey
telecasts was treated to the Franklin High
School hockey version of johnny Most. He
was totally biased for the home team.
That's the way he was. He was just a loyal
guy, even if it turned into some kind of
comedy," Mike recalled.
Fittingly, Gary's forte of winning friends
and influencing people was a built-in
characteristic. And some of it probably
could be traced to bloodlines. "There was
a common bond, a family tie to the loyalty
my dad had for Franklin High sports,"
Mike remarked. "His brothers, are two
of the most successful coaches in state
history. In fact, they must have set some
kind of record in ¡982-83 when Nello's
football and baseball teams and Bobby's
hockey team won state titles. My father
was extremely proud of those accomplishments and was always the first to
congratulate them on their victories."
Mike and Gary played golf together,
most of the time on the same side. Gary's
competitive spirit surfaced there and in
other places. "He could flip a switch when
he got into any kind of competition,"
Mike said. "He hated to lose no matter
how small the event was."
"He was also big Patriots fan, especially
when Bill Parcells came to town," Mike
continued. "He purchased a bunch of

season tickets that year, which are in the
front row of the north end zone. We still 1=6
have them today. He was such a big
Parcells fan that we went to a couple of
jets games after he left New England.
We piled eight guys into a limo on a
couple of occasions and went to New
York for the day. Like I said, when he
was on your side, it was for life."
Mike likes to talk of something he calls
the "Luccini stable of superintendents."
Five of Gary's assistants have gone on to
become head superintendents, among
them Mike, of course, and second son
Brian, who holds the turf management
fort at the Laurel Lane Country Club in
West Kingston, R.I.
Naturally, Mike feels honored to have
followed Gary as the top man at Franklin.
"It's an honor to be here, and it is something I've always wanted to do, although
it came a lot sooner than expected if you
know what! mean," Mike admitted.
"Regardless, I'm happy to carry the torch
for him here, to continue the tradition
he established."
"Also, I'm proud to be a member of a
profession with so many good people. Thep=s;
respect my father's peers had for him wat
tremendous. The outpouring of affection
by his "brothers" in the profession is something my family and 1 appreciate and hold
dear, and will never forget. They really
stepped up to the plate when it counted.
The aftermath of his passing has lifted us
ail up. Those guys (superintendents)
never took a step back during the entire
ordeal. If my father can see all of this now,
1 know he is impressed and pleased."

we had for our October meeting at
Mike's course, the Ranch Golf Club.
Those who made the trip to western

6th annual N X Regional Turf Conference
& Trade Show set for Marchs 18-20, 2003
The New England Regional Turfgrass
Foundation announces its 6th annual
Turfgrass Conference & Trade Show,
^ " a r c h 18-20, 2003 at R.I. Convention
c e n t e r , Providence, R.I. Plans for the
education program are being finalized and
booths sales are on schedule for another
fabulous event.

TURF CONFERENCE
Pre-conference half-day seminars on
Monday, March 17 include (i) Annual Bluegrass Management (GCSAA), by Dr. Frank
Rossi, Cornell University; (2) Bunker Maintenance, Placement,

and Construction,

by

Craig Schreiner, Golf Course Architect;
and (3) CPR and ADD Training, by local

CPR trainers.
On Tuesday, March 18, the conference
will host "A Day with the USGA. " The
USGA Northeast Regional Office's David
Oatis, Jim Skorulski, and Jim Baird (along
with Jim Farrell) will put together a Rules
Seminar in the morning and specialized
presentations in the afternoon to draw
not only superintendents, but club officials
and pros as well. We hope you will take
advantage of this opportunity to bring
^ ose from your club that might help
-L.,ihance your situations. After the USGA
session, our keynote speaker will be
popular former NFL player and head
coach Mike Ditka! Already there seems to

be a lot of interest in coach Ditka being at
the show this year.
Speaking of sports, Tuesday will also
offer a great opportunity for those managing sport turf areas. Paul Zwaska of Beacon
Bailfields will present a 3-hour seminar on
Infield Construction, from 1-3:45 p.m. Local
Little League and Babe Ruth League officers
might want to be there! This will mark
the first time we have tried to have two
days of education for those who manage
sports fields. Help us pass the word!
Everything is on track for this to be
an even bigger and better conference &
show than last year. Several speakers have
committed, including Dr. Frank Rossi,
Dr. Robert Carrow, Dr. Bruce Clark, and
architect Mark Mungeam. The popular
bookstore and the silent auction will be
back again too! The trade show floor is
filling up fast!
One last reminder to all retired members: If your name is listed in any of the
local chapters of GCSAA, MALCP or
NESTMA membership directories as a
retired or honorary member, then you
are invited to come to the conference
free of charge for one or all three days!
We hope everyone in the turf industry in
the New England area, past and present,
has an opportunity to be a part of this
year's New England Regional Turfgrass
Conference & Show! You gotta be there!
GARY SYKES

on the Essex County Club the other day!
With the approach of cooler weather,
we begin to plan for conference and
educational meetings. GCSANE Education
Chairman Patrick J. Daly, CGCS, has two
great seminars scheduled for November
at the International in Bolton, Mass.
Both seminars will allow members the
opportunity to earn continuing education
credit for both certification and class-A
status. Our association is sponsoring
Weather Answers and Techniques for Golf
Course Management, p r e s e n t e d by Sarah

Croke. This seminar will help the superintendent analyze weather data, satellite
images, and radar data. Lightning safety
will also be discussed.
The second offering, presented in
conjunction with the GCSAA, is Golf Course
Safety, Security, and Risk Management.

In

the 1980s, one of the Norfolk County
Commissioners would always ask me if
the Presidents Golf Course was "lawyer
proof'. In today's litigious society, we can
all serve our employers well by reducing
the potential liability issues that face all of
us today. This seminar will be presented
by Ted Horton, CGCS; and Robert Hedberg.
Of course, Ted is familiar to many of us in
the northeast, having attended Stockbridge
and served as superintendent at some fine
venues in the metropolitan New York area.
The Stockbridge School at the University
of Massachusetts will be initiating a capital
campaign to construct a new state-of-theart research facility. The building will be
named after Dr. Joseph Troll, who was a
mentor to so many of us in the industry.
The goal is to increase leverage to obtain
research grants for cutting-edge turfgrass
research, quick response extension services,
and to create the Endowed Professorship
of Turfgrass Management. Todd Audyatis
of the UMass staff will head the campaign.
And finally, Arthur Silva, CGCS, will
chair the Annual Holiday Gala to be held
at Belmont County Club. So save Friday,
December 13 for what promises to be a
great evening of celebration and holiday
cheer.

UMass continues turf research to determine
best strategies for control of winter snow mold
Br, Gail L. Schumann,
Professor of Plant Pathology,
Dept. of Microbiology,
University ©f Massachusetts
This is another in a series of reports of
research to determine optimal fungicide
recommendations for snow mold control
in the winter months. We are looking at
both fungicides (and combinations) and
timing of application. In this experiment,
we ran two tests. In one area, we inoculated the turf with Microdochium nivale
(the pink snow mold pathogen), and in
the other area, we inoculated the turf
with Typhula incarnata (the gray snow
mold pathogen). If you would like more
details on the experimental protocol,
please contact me.
Results. No Typhula blight (gray
snow mold) developed in any of the plots
inoculated with T incarnata. This is not
surprising given the warm and dry
weather conditions. Fusarium patch (pink
snow mold) did develop in some plots
inoculated with M. nivale, but there was
less disease in the nontreated plots than
expected from past experience due to
the warm, dry winter. However, the
amount of disease that developed was
«iili.iijj^i.iijji.tiijaüujlu^^^

commercially unacceptable, so the results
of this trial demonstrate effective fungicide
applications. Eighteen treatments resulted
in no disease on either application date.
Sixteen additional treatments resulted in
only trace amounts of disease (2% disease
on both application dates). Applications
of Insignia alone, Chipco 26GT + TADS
12529, or TD2390 resulted in disease
development that was commercially
unacceptable. No phytotoxicity or other
quality differences were observed in any
of the plots. There were no significant
differences in disease development at the
two applications dates with the exception
of plots treated with TD2390.

TURF RESEARCH
This year, no phytotoxicity or other
effects were observed on the turfgrass in
response to the chemical applications.
Note below that combinations of chemical
ingredients often give better control, l b
interpret the results, use the LSD-least
significant difference. If the difference
between treatment results is less than the
LSD number, then they are statistically the
same. They are only statistically different
when the difference exceeds the LSD.

This is used to help determine if treatment
results are really different because there
is always a certain amount of variability
in the amount of disease among the
replication plots.
Conclusions. These results show that
you can get winter-long control from a
single application if you choose the right
fungicides, it appears best to wait until
the turf leaf blades have stopped growing,
but they are still green and capable of
absorbing the penetrant (systemic)
fungicides. It is also important to use
enough water in application to get good
coverage. We used 2.5 gal/1000 sq. ft.

4-Ball Tournament
The championship match (Ed Eardley &
joe Piana vs. Brian Luccini & Ken Mooradian) for the 2002 Gary Luccini Memorial
GCSANE 4-Ball Championship was held at
Franklin C.C. on September 24, 2002.
The Ed Eardley/Joe Piana team reached
the finals by winning their first round match
I -up, the second round in a 5-and-4 victory
and their quarterfinal and semi-final matches
2-and-l.

GCSANE NEWS
The Brian Luccini/Ken Mooradian team
reached the finals by winning their first
round match 4-and-3, the second round 7and-6, the quarterfinal match 5-and-3, and
their semi-final match 6-and-4.
^ _ The match, held on a picture-perfect
I day, began quickly as B. Luccini &
Mooradian won the I st hole with par to
go one-up. Eardley & Piana both par-ed
the 2nd hole to promptly even the match.
Ed Eardley won the 3rd hole with a net
birdie, and when he birdied the 4th, Eardley
& Piana jumped out to a quick two-up
lead. The 5th hole was halved with bogies.
Brian Luccini scored a net birdie on six,
Ken Mooradian par-ed seven and both pared the 8th to charge from 2-down to a
I -up advantage. The 9th hole halved with
par, and at the turn B. Luccini & Mooradian
were I-up.
Joe Piana's net birdie on 10 evened the
match again. Here the team of B. Luccini
& Mooradian went to work. Brian's natural
birdie on I 1 followed by a net birdie on 12,
put Luccini & Mooradian 2-up after twelve.
Par halved 13, and when Ken won 14 with
a par, the lead moved to 3-up with four holes
to play. Bogies halved 15 with B. Luccini &
Mooradian now dormie. The par-3 16th
was halved with par and the match ended
with a well-fought 3-and-2 victory for
Brian Luccini & Ken Mooradian.
^ , A special thanks goes to Mike Luccini and
_,te folks at Franklin C.C. for hosting the
final match. We think The Bear was proud.

R e m e m b e r When?: Taking a look at G C S A N E ' s past
Remember When? is a monthly feature
that looks back at significant individuals
and events of GCSANE's past.

25 Years Ago
Family, friends, and superintendents
were among the glad-handers helping
Nary Sperandio celebrate his 65th birthday
in a surprise party at the Concord C.C.
The look on Nary's face told it ail as he
realized he was the guest of honor in a
setting where he has served Concord
members for more than 40 years. On

board for the affair were his wife Phyllis,
son James Alan, daughter-in-law Linda,
daughter Karen Lee, and son-in-law Dick.

REMEMBER WHEN?
Nan/, a self-made success story who
once was considered a prospect as a
professional golfer, has been an active
member of GCSANE and served in every
administrative capacity in a long stretch of
service to his profession. He capped it
serving as association president in 1960-62.

Super-Super championship results:
Gross - Mel O'Kelly & Art Washburn, 72;
Bruce Carlson & Lennie Blodgett, 73.
Net - Ron Kirkman & Bob Mucciarone,
58; "Tony Caranci & Wayne Zoppo, 62; J.R
Jones & George Machado, 64; Dave Barber
& Bob Connolly, 65.
All members should be mindful of an
association rule that states members may

UMass/Stockbridge Turfgrass Management
Program Cooperative W o r k Training. (Notice from Dr. Gail L. Schumann and Dr. Scott
Ebdon.) The turf faculty are working together to
supervise the Stockbridge School of Agriculture
Cooperative Work Training assignments. W e
would like to receive position listings by November 15 so students can make requests before the
end of the fall semester. W e recommend students
complete Cooperative Work Training at a location different from where they previously
worked, so they can observe a different management approach. The faculty meets during
semester break to make assignments, which will

be announced at the end of January. Students will
then contact their supervisor to determine if they
will be accepted. If the assignment is not acceptable, students will be re-assigned. All position
descriptions should be sent to the Stockbridge
School Office at Stockbridge School of Agriculture, Stockbridge Hall, Rm. I 15. UMass/Amherst,
Amherst, MA 01003. You may also list positions
(including regular jobs) on the Stockbridge School
website for free,
(http://www.umass.edu/stockbridge). The form is on the website in the "jobs"
section. W e welcome comments and suggestions
about the program, which would not be possible
without your valuable instruction and supervision
of student interns. W e appreciate all who accommodate these students in the workplace and help
prepare them for their careers. Please contact us
if you have questions or concerns: Dr. Gail Schumann (413-545-2965); Dr. Scott Ebdon
(413-545-2506); Ms. Nancy Garrabrants, Director, Stockbridge School, (413-545-2222).

meetings when they are not prospective
members. The privilege of playing golf at
the meeting site has been abused by such
action, a black eye on the face of our
association and smudge on its integrity.
15 Y e a r s Ag®
The team-of-two superintendents
championship at Orchards G.C. proved a
routine ride for Doug Johnson (Pine Brook)
& Paul Miller (Tedesco), who won with a 75
gross. The net race was a tie between the
teams of Max Mierzwa (Chicopee) &.
John Hudyka (retired) and Don D'Errico
(Beilevue) & Norm Mucciarone (Woodland)
who fired a 63. A match of cards declared
D'Errico & Mucciarone the champions. The
Heritage C.C. duo of Charlie Dickow &
Bob Garrity took third place. Sales division
net winners John Lenhart (Sawtelle Brothers)
& Kevin Lyons (Turf Specialty) cruised to
victory with a smooth 66.

Donald E. Hearn, CGCS, president of
the GCSAA, announces that the association
plans to co-sponsor the upcoming International Amateur Handicap Championships.
"The amateur golfer obviously plays a
vital role in the popularity of the game,"
Hearn said. "This championship format
provides any skill level a chance to compete
in a fun, 72-hole competition, just like the
professional golfers."
Hearn cited a National Golf Foundation
study showing that there are 18 million
golfers in the United States today and that
four and one-half billion rounds of golf
were played last year.
A field of 600 from the United States,
Australia, and several European countries
is expected in Phoenix October 25-31.
Three different courses will be utilized to

One of the highlights of the 1992 Turf
Grass Research Tournament at The International was provided, and fittingly so, by

Chip Brearley, who with Paul Miller
headed the tournament committee. Chip ~
the GCSANE veep, stunned the field
when he aced the fourth hole to score a
genuine hole-in-one in the closest-to-thepin competition. Brearley won a set of
golf clubs for this rare feat.
Bruce Packard, superintendent of the
Stockbridge G.C., has been designated a
Certified Golf Course Superintendent
(CGCS) by the GCSAA. Packard has been
superintendent at Stockbridge since 1990.
He lives in Worthington.
Welcome new members: Peter Bissei,
regular member, Ipswich G.C.; David

The host team garnered gross honors
with a 67 in the always-popular superintendent/3-club-official tournament at
Metacomet C.C. Heritage took the net
prize with 57 followed by Nashawtuc, 59;
Purpoodock, 59; and Salem, 59.
