TURF CLIPPINGS

NJGCSA Championship Golf Tournament & Meeting:
On October 27th we had our annual Superintendents Golf 
Championship at Suburban Golf Club. Jack Martin our host 
did a wonderful job. The golf course was in excellent shape 
and we had a nice calm warm October day which topped it off. 
We had a nice turnout. Jolly Charlie McCrea boomed in with 
top Honors and took the Championship trophy home. John Ujobagy 
was a close second. Bob Bobbie came home with the bacon in 
the Commercial class. We had a super delicious steak dinner 
which was followed by a very informative talk on Trees 
and tree care around a golf course by Warren Timpkey from 
the Bartlett Tree Co. After the speaker many had their bull 
sessions into the wee hours of the morning talking about 
the summer of 66 and the rains of September. It certainly 
climaxed the golf season with a great meeting and excellent 
golf participation.
NJGCSA Happenings: Well, as you already know there have been 
quite a few moves by several of our members. Al Rathjens Jr. 
is headed for Raritan Valley, Charlie McCrea is headed for 
Long Island. It should give island boys something to contend 
with in their Superintendents Championship. Marty Futyma 
is headed for Glen Ridge, Skippy Cameron will be at Mountain 
Ridge December 1. Just can’t keep up with all the moving
action. We wish everybody good luck in their new environments. 
Many times a change does everyone who is concerned a new shot 
in the arm. Ken Morrison headed for the Bahamas for a week  
later in the month. Sabby De Falco is getting the red carpet 
out for the Christmas Party, Please return your invitations 
promptly. Red Williams is the chairman of our Annual Christmas 
Party. It should be alot of fun so everybody set aside 
December 3rd for an enjoyable evening with your wife or 
for the single Supers bring the girl friend.
We would also like more response from clubs who would like 
to have a meeting at their club next year. We want to get 
a full schedule set-up now. If you don’t know at the moment, 
then bring offer your club at the Annual meeting. Speaking 
of the Annual meeting and elections we would like to have 
a big turnout. Its the time to express yourself in the 
association, cast your vote for your canidate and give 
ideas on how we can improve our association, our meetings, 
our field days, our golf tournaments. Lets all try to 
help our Association and the best way is by participating. 
So see you all on the 8th of December. All commercial members 
are invited to attend the meeting.

Yours for Better Turf
