LETTER

January 2003

of the Golf Course Superintendents Association of New England, inc.
Sponsors and administrators of the Troll-Dickinson Scholarship Fund - Awarded yearly to deserving Turf Management Students, ammm—mmmmmmmmm•

Leon St. Pierre reminisces on career thai led
to the CsCSâHE Distinguished Service Award
W h e n Leon St. Pierre got the call from
GCSANE president Jim Fitzroy, the fertile
mind that backboned the beginning of
what are called the foundation years of
the association was still in bloom. Fitzroy
had just informed St. Pierre he had been
selected to receive the 2003 Distinguished
Service Award.
"I'm happy, honored, delighted," Leon
toned. "I'm also very surprised. In fact,
I'd put all that stuff out of my mind."
Much of that "stuff," as St. Pierre coins
it, was responsible for the Golf Course
Superintendents Association of New
England making a giant leap in the late
1960s and early 70s . .. from a group
of dedicated turf specialists who had
been just tolerated for their efforts and
expertise. Frankly, it was the era when
the profession put on a shirt and tie.
Leon's version of the turning point in
that quest for recognition came during
the second year of his term as GCSANE

president. At the time, he worried and
wondered about the superintendent's
identity, how he was perceived by country
club members and the public. It bothered
him to think that perhaps he and his peers
were dumped into the position of golf's
second-class citizens.
"I got sick and tired of people looking
at us as a bunch of laborers, a hose in one
hand and a rake in the other," he said.
"So, I just called down to the MGA
(Massachusetts Golf Association), asked
the director if he'd like to have lunch on
us and pretty soon the recognition was
coming on with a rush. I guess you'd call
it good public relations."
Other than the fact that Leon developed
into one of the best in his profession, so
efficient that he remained as head superintendent at the Longmeadow Country
Club for 37 years until his retirement in
1992, his bag might have been public
relations. He was a natural at it.
The golf world got more than just a
snippet of that public relations acumen
during the Eastern States Exposition, a
two-week exposure of New England
agricultural and industrial exposure with a
little entertainment thrown in on the side.
The time was around 1960, as Leon
recalls and Joe Butler was calling the
shots for the GCSANE as its president.

Leon went to joe with one of his
1,000-watt ideas. He wanted to clue folks
in on what a golf course superintendent
was, where he plied that expertise and
how it came about. So, he suggested they
approach the Big E (Exposition) and offer
to put together an exhibit in the show's
Massachusetts Building.

people looking at us

a hose in one hand
and a rake in the other.

Leon St. Pierre
"The Big E was only too happy to
offer us some space," Leon recalled.
" W e started out with a mural of a New
England golf course (Hyannisport),
brought in some sod, a brook and even
set up a live putting green. But w e had
to figure out how to man it for 14 days.
More thinking.

'Arthur Anderson was a big help in
that area. W e went out, bought three
dozen green and white ties, scraped
around to fill out the exhibit hours with
supers wherever w e could find them,
and the thing was a big hit. People came
to see what was going on and liked it. in
fact, the old Mt. "lorn ski area set up their
show right next to ours and the Big E had
two moving exhibits, side by side."
Leon dealt with another slight glitch in
the operation the following year. After
three or four days, the grass in the exhibit
died, turned yellow, and wasn't very
inviting. So, he pushed off for the nearby
Monsanto plant where Astroturf was first
beginning to develop. The phony fescue
replaced the sod and the GCSANE exhibit
was in business again.
"That was the first time our association
had exposure at a very high level," Leon
told. "The Massachusetts Lawngrass
Council joined our parade and as it turned
out, w e had become the forerunner to
the Massachusetts Turf Conference and
Show. The third year (St. Pierre was
president at the time) joe Troll offered the
UMass Student Union as a iaunching^pad
for that presentation and we moved our
exhibit there."
The Big E-GCSANE-Mass. Conference
connection was just another product of
St. Pierre's mentality. Along the way,
he produced constructive ideas (some
termed revolutionary), ail with the
public's perception of the golf course
superintendent in mind.
"There were other things," Leon said.
"I thought The Newsletter needed a touch
of professionalism. That's when we hired
you. I think this added to our growing
reputation as a high-tiered profession. W e
kind of hit the streets with our publication
and it's gone on from there."
Leon also introduced the superintendent-press golf tournament. It was another
touch of public relations ingenuity that
brought golf writers and their colleagues
into the fold of a superintendent-appreciation generation. Prior to that, hardly
anyone knew what the superintendent
was, let alone his name.
"Oh, I did some things that brought
brickbats and criticism," Leon admitted.
"But whatever I did, I did for the good
and improvement of the profession. I was
adamant about shirts, ties and jackets for
•JJililiiilli^iMliAiiLiiiAiilliALlliiiitiiu

liiiMk
off-season meetings and I kind of looked
harshly at driving trucks to meetings until
trucks and vans became so popular as a
mode of transportation. Regardless, it was
fun, w e all were friends deep down and
had a common cause."
Leon, a I Oth Mountain Division veteran
of World War II, now shifts most of his
attention to daughters Andrea and Jeanne,
and son Andrew. They are his life except
for that part that stirs memories of his
days as a superintendent. That's Leon
St. Pierre . . . a man of big ideas and big
accomplishments. Fittingly, his contributions to golf have not gone unrewarded.

ftemember When? is a monthly look at
the individuals and events of GCSANE's
past

25 Years Ago

Last month's annual meeting included
a number of presentations, the least not
being recognition of Arthur Anderson as
he marked his 50th year as a member
of the Golf Course Superintendents
Association of N e w England.

The amount of energy and time
Arthur has put into our profession and
our association is immeasurable. He has
helped many younger superintendents
starting in the profession and is always
there to lend a helping hand to fellow
head superintendents. Even after retirement he has remained active in the
association.
Congratulations also were extended
to Robert Grant of the Brae Burn CounClub who received his re-certification
plaque as a certified golf course superintendent.
Another highlight came when G C S A N E
president Dean Robertson and UMass
professor Dr. Joseph Troll presented
Lawrence S. Dickinson Scholarship
awards to William Hamm, Jr. and Susan
Mitchell.
During informal discussions, a sort
of round table session, the subject of playing regular greens in winter and frost
conditions initiated a lively debate. Of
approximately 40 superintendents, only
one allowed play on greens when there
was a frost. Twelve superintendents reported they allowed play on the greens
in winter but only when the ground was
frozen. During times when the ground
was soft from thawing, play was not
allowed on the greens.
Here's the lineup of the association's
board of directors for 1978: Dean
Robertson, president; Ron Kirkman, first
vice-president; Brian Cowan, second vicepresident; Dave Barber, secretary; Donald
^ M e a r n , treasurer; Robert Johnston, finance
lairman; Ken Mooradian, golf chairman;
Pete Coste, educational chairman; Larry
Bunn, Newsletter chairman; Bert
Frederick, trustee.

15 Years Ag©

In its continuing effort to avert what its
research indicates is an impending crisis in
golf, the National Golf Foundation has
identified the 50 metropolitan areas in the
U.S. most in need of public courses.

Ten of the 50 areas are in California.
Next is the state of Washington with five,
Wisconsin with four and Colorado and
N e w jersey with three each.

REMEMBER WHEN?
N e w England was tapped for three
areas: Boston-Lawrence-Salem-LowellBrockton, Mass., Manchester-Nashua,
N.H., and N e w Haven-WaterburyMeriden, Conn.
Earlier this year an N G F report,
researching the subject, concluded that
the U.S. could be facing a shortage of
more than 4,000 golf courses by the year
2000 if the rate of development of new
facilities continues to fall behind the rising
public demand for golf.
"Based upon current growth trends,
w e need to open a golf course every day
between now and the year 2000 just to
maintain the current level of success,"
says N G F president and C E O David
Hueber. "And w e are currently in a
situation of undersupply throughout the
Sunbelt areas and most metropolitan
areas in the country."

Last month's annuaI
meeting included a
number of presentations,
the least not being
recognition of Arthur
Anderson as he marked
his 50th year as a
member of GCSANE.
25 Years Ago

N G F research shows that there are
approximately 20.! million golfers and
12,400 golf facilities in the U.S. today.
The research also notes that, while the
number of golfers in the country has been
increasing steadily at a rate of three percent
a year over the past 10 years, growth in
the total number of golf facilities has been
increasing at only a half-percent per year.
Surprisingly, the list of golf course-needy
areas failed to include the Long Island
section of N e w York where regular scenes
of potential players lining up overnight for
starting times at public courses prevail. It
is said that bartering for starting times has
become popular in that area.

5 Years Ago

The first N e w England Regional Turfgrass Conference and Show will be staged
March 3-5 at the Rhode Island Convention
Center, Providence. The show combines
the Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and N e w
Hampshire turf shows and will include
representatives from all N e w England
states, N e w York and N e w Jersey.
Kevin L. Miller, Sr. of Bedrock Golf
Course, Rutland, Mass. has earned an
environmental management specialist
certificate from GCSAA for completing a
specialization program for integrated
plant management.
GCSAA is addressing the environmental
impact of golf course maintenance and
the increasingly complex training needs
of golf course superintendents by offering
specialized training through its Environmental Management Program.
The Vermont Golf Course Superintendents Association is hosting a G C S A A
seminar March 17 at the Equinox Hotel,
Manchester, Vt. The seminar, "Wetlands &
Golf Courses," should provide attendees
with pertinent information all golf course
superintendents can use. Manchester is
close to some great southern Vermont ski
areas and the Equinox Hotel is offering a
special room rate of $60 per night for
a four-diamond hotel. This is a great
opportunity to mix a little business with
pleasure. Spring skiing in southern Vermont
is usually great at that time of year.

G CSM News: ¡few certification exam m 2004; pybSic relations planning; & leadership survey
The following is a collection of news
updates from GCSAA Online:

Nlew certification exam
t© be implemented in 2004

For the past two years GCSAAs
certification committee has been working
on an in-depth redesign of the certification
examination, exploring the contents of
the current exam while comparing it to
the superintendent competencies that
have been defined through the Professional
Development Initiative. Galton Technologies,
consultants in building certification
programs, have been providing the
committee with psychometric expertise
in redesigning the current format of testing
certification applicants to a format of
competency-based questions to be
validated through different methods
of testing.
The implementation of this new exam
is planned for Nov. 1, 2004. There will be
three testing methods used in validating
an applicant's competencies:

(S.) The superintendent will be required
to submit a portfolio at the time he or
she applies to the program. The portfolio
will be used to validate "soft" skill
testing objectives through the applicants
completion of case studies, skill statements
and submission of work samples.
(2.) A six-hour, 236-question written
examination. This will be a closed-book
exam, however some questions will
provide exhibits when applicable to assist
in answering questions.
(3.) On-site course attesting will continue
to be an important component in the
certification process.
A study manual also is in development to
help applicants prepare for the three
phases of certification. In 2003, the next
phase of this process will be to beta test
the portfolio assignments as well as the
written exam. A search will be conducted
for members who are qualified and want
to volunteer to participate as beta testers.
Look for more information in future
issues of Newsline as the process
progresses.

Communicating your value
takes a plan

Superintendents are finding that
communicating the value of the profession
is no longer an option or an extracurricular
event.
Whether its to employers, golfers,
media, employees or the general public,
outreach is an important activity on the
individual and chapter level. But to be an
effective communicator, you must have a
plan. Perhaps you want to get engaged
with civic groups to make presentations
on golf and the environment, or maybe
you want to interact with the media in
preparation for a golf tournament. O r
maybe your chapter wants a higher
profile in your region.

GCSAA NEWS
GCSAA has the tools to assist members
and chapters in developing an outreach
program. Based on your resources, such
a strategy can be simple or complex.
Several chapters have been able to
develop outreach programs and projects
by working with GCSAA. You would be
surprised to find that small but persistent
steps can create momentum and pay
dividends.
"The Heart of America has put
significant energies into public relations
over the last few years," says Heart of
America GCSA Public Relations Chairman
Bill Maynard, CGCS. " W e saw the value
of what needed to be done. By working
with GCSAA, w e were able to define our
goals and engage in activities that have
paid short and long-term results."
For more information on developing
outreach, communications and media/
public relations strategies, contact Jeff
Bollig, director of communications, at

Fill out Leadership Survey
in Atlanta ©r at G C S A A Online

One way GCSAA communicates the
value of the golf course superintendent
profession is by promoting the results of

the annual GCSAA Leadership Survey,
conducted at the conference and show.
For the past four years, GCSAA member
superintendents have had the opportunity
to participate in a survey that seeks feedback on issues relating to the game and
business of golf. The results are then
packaged and distributed to a variety of
audiences, including the media, to
communicate the opinions of golf course
superintendents.
"The main goal of this survey is
to develop messages that can be
communicated to the public," says
Timothy T. ONeill, CGCS, chairman of
the communications committee.
"Surveys have proven to be an effective
tool by which to capture media exposure.
The information communicated to the
media is not intended to be highly
technical. Rather, w e want to package
the information in a manner that is easily,
understood by the target audience."
The media coverage from the survey
has been significant. While the 2002
survey is still being distributed, results
have been published in USA Today (six
different insertions), Golf Digest, Golf
Magazine, Chicago Tribune, Boston Globe,
Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Examiner
and numerous other newspapers.
Numerous state golf association
magazines and regional golf newsletters
also picked up the results. The 2001
survey was published in outlets with a
combined circulation of 7.6 million,
generating 19 million impressions.
Conference and show attendees will be
able to participate in the 2003 Leadership
Survey Wednesday, Feb. 12, through
Friday, Feb. i 4. A new feature of the
survey will be the opportunity for those
not attending conference and show to
participate. The survey will be conducted
on the GCSAA Web site simultaneously
with the one in Atlanta.

Surveys, visit GCSAA online at

"'JMass turf management update:
Which grub insecticides can we use Sri 2GQ3?
By Or. Pat Vittyrn
University ©f Massachusetts
6rub control remains an issue of concern
for most turf managers in the Northeast.
Most of my comments recently have
centered on the use of Merit (imidacloprid),
Mach 2 (halofenozide), and Dylox or
Proxol (trichlorfon). This was in part
because I mistakenly believed that these
were the only products that would be
available in 2003 and had shown the
ability to reduce grub populations
consistently. In other words, I had not
been mentioning Sevin (carbaryl) because

it has been very inconsistent in our field
trials over the years.
However, I just checked with company
representatives and confirmed that

UMASS NEWS
Turcam (bendiocarb) is still available for
2003 in every state except New York.
The existing stock can be purchased and
applied (according to label directions) in
areas where grub populations persist.
Because some of our readers are from
N e w York state, I must stress the point

that Turcam cannot be purchased or used
anywhere in N e w York state.
Merit and Mach 2 are relatively slowacting but relatively persistent products,
and therefore often must be applied
before a pest population becomes
apparent. Merit often remains active for
three or four months after application
(depending on timing and local weather
conditions). Dylox is very fast-acting
(grubs begin to die within a day or two
after application in most cases), and
breaks down quickly (usually in one or
two weeks).

Türcam provides an intermediate
alternative. Typically it takes five to seven
days for the material to begin to kill grubs,
and it remains active for five to seven
weeks in most situations.
My guess is that supplies of Turcam
will be somewhat limited, so those of you
who are interested in using "Tiircam in
2003 probably should purchase your
supply sooner rather than later. (This is
assuming you have an appropriate storage
facility with temperatures ranging
between 45 and 75 degrees).

The UMass Extension Turf Program presents
its Annual Lawn Care Seminar January 30, 2003.
Professionals who care for lawns, athletic fields,
and other turf areas are meeting the challenge to
enhance the environment while providing quality
landscapes and playing surfaces. Issues often arise,
however, when customers and communities ask
for alternative management practices, such as IPM
or organic programs. The UMass Extension/MALCP Annual Lawn Care Seminar will
address some of these issues. Turf management
basics and cutting-edge information will be presented in sessions covering soil dynamics as a basis
for fertility management, using composts effectively and employing alternative pest management
techniques. In addition, attendees will get a ciose
look at trends in community regulations and initiatives regarding use of pesticides and fertilizer
materials, and hear from individuals who are
meeting the challenges presented by these trends.
For more information regarding the Annual Lawn
Care Seminar, contact MALCP at (781 ) 274-7373
