TURF CLIPPINGS

MAY MEETING: We had another good turnout at Ridgewood 
Country Club at our May meeting. It was a little windy 
but not too cold as the sun was out all day. I am sure 
everybody enjoyed playing the course. There weren't any 
gross scores in the 70's so you know the course was played 
long. Larry Munther had low net for the day. We had a very 
excellent meal and it was followed by an excellent talk from 
our guest speaker Prof. Evan Lemley of Rutgers (shot a nice 
gross score of 82). He spoke on how we might improve our 
communications with our members and greens committee. He 
also stressed better planning, more of it and long range 
planning along with how a plan should be set-up. It all got 
the group thinking and asking questions after the talk. Bob 
Kapherr presented his Chairman DrBump who he thought was the 
best chairman he had ever had. Let's hope we can make it 
back to Ridgewood again.

NJGCSA HAPPENINGS:

Dave McGhee has left Oak Hill for a club outisde of Phila.
Bill Caputi is leaving Bamm Hollow so they say. Bob Kapherr 
and Al Caravela were in sick bay for a few days. Our Dear 
Friend and honorary member Prof. Korbobo had a heart attack, 
and is still recovering. Not only was Red Williams a little upset 
about newspaper coverage of a Pro Amateur Tournament held 
at North Jersey but also the pros. This Spring has produced 
more Helminthosporium, rusts, ptyhium than normal. Also 
Mr. Chinohbug is out extremely early so watch out! They have 
been seen in North Jersey near the middle of the month of May. Our 
Secretary is a proud Pop. We hope to have more of the blazers 
by the joint meeting at Quaker Ridge. Sebby DeFalco had one on 
at Ridgewood. It looked pretty sharp. We hope to start on our 
directory as soon as we get the last of the red hot dues spenders. 
Field Day of NJGCSA will probably be in early October. A date 
will soon be sent out. The New Jersey GCSA Supt. Pro Tournament 
will be on Sept. 27th at Colonia. If anybody has any items for sale 
or is looking for a piece of equipment please contact Don Marshall or 
Turf Clippings. Jim McNally had a small plane crash on one of his 
tees. Pilot was killed instantly. Your not even safe on a golf 
course anymore.

Let's all try to make it up to Quaker Ridge, for the joint meeting with 
Metropolitan. It should be a great meeting. See you there on June 
22 nd.

Yours for better turf, 

Garry Crothers, Charlie McCrea
