President's
Message
Time waits for no man and I
am a testament to that. As the desk
piles get shuffled from side to side
I start catching myself longing for
those quiet rainy fall days when
office responsibilities suddenly
become a priority I can enjoy. But
this has been a very busy and
Randy White
interesting season that has been
mostly kind to turf and great for
hitting the beach. As turf professionals in the northwest we can
look on the rest of the nation and be thankful for our location in
the comer, away from the hurricanes and heat.
The NTA has been fortunate to have had the labor of a new
face in our organization. Tom McCarthy, superintendent of Indian
Summer Golf and Country Club in Olympia, was instrumental in
procuring his fine track for what was our first annual Columbia
Cup golf tournament. He did the lion's share of the work and
provided a format that netted the NTA over $3000 for research
and scholarships. Indian Summer is always in perfect condition
and a tough test of golf. This was a spikeless tournament with
Soft Spikes providing sets for all. Greg Hall, superintendent of
Fairwood Golf and Country Club in Renton, Washington, brought
the course to its knees and ran away with a gross 70.
Congratulations to our new reigning NTA champ.
It was our intent to provide a venue in which turf
professionals from throughout the northwest could take a day
during the summer to come together for a time of competition
and comraderie. And this was the case. My foursome included
golfers from British Columbia, Oregon, southwest Washington
and Puget Sound. Oregon golf course superintendents hired a
bus and a few escaped the heat of eastern Washington to join in
the affair. What got th eball rolling was Tom Christy's idea to
begin a rivalry between those to the north against those to south
of the Columbia River, much in the tradition of the Ryder Cup.
This pilot tournament laid the ground work for future
competitions at which we can share ideas and let off steam
during an otherwise bucolic time of year. Those who attended
this inaugural event will be sure to sign up next year. Those who
missed this year, talk to anyone who was there and I'm sure we'll
see you next time.
Instrumental in the monetary success of the Columbia Cup
was the generous support by Western Equipment, Pac West and
Toro. With their contribution we were able to not only take in
some money for R&S, but also do it first class. Thank you for
your support In addition to the main sponsors, over $1500 in
donations were taken at Indian Summer.
Since I'm on donations for research and scholarships, let me
thank those who have come forward in their support of the
Turfgrass Universities Research Fund or TURF. This fledgling
program will be a keystone for funding future research based on
the support of the golfing community. The advisory committee
that includes all the northwest golf associations is, and will be,
the guiding force that takes our funding efforts onto a new level.
If you have not heard of TURF or need additional information, call
the NTA office.
Approval has been given by the board of directors for grants
and scholarships as requested by the R&S committee, chaired by
Mike Erb. His committee has made recommendations to the
board for grants to OSU and WSU totalling $30,000 and four
scholarships of $1500 each, of which one was funded by a

donation from Western Equipment Inc. The various conference
committees have been putting together the finishing touches for
what will be a great time in October. The golf tournament,
educational program and location make Skamania Lodge an
excellent site for this our 49th annual conference.

Research Grant

(cont. from page 1)

All the research grants deal with issues relevant to
today's problems and environmental concerns and have
the potential of being beneficial to today's grounds
manager.
Promoting Turfgrass research is a major purpose of
the NTA. Funds for grants are obtained through a direct
voluntary solicitation campaign and various other events
and activities designed to generate donations to the NTA
Research and Scholarship Fund ( R & S Fund) and the
NTA Turfgrass Universities Research Fund (TURF).
Over the last nine years, NTA has donated over
$235,230 to research here in the Pacific Northwest,
thanks to the on-going commitment and contributions of
NTA members and supporters.

Research & Scholarship Fund
Receives Major Donations
Major donations have been received recently for the
Northwest Turfgrass Association
Research
&
Scholarship Fund. During the recent Columbia Cup
Golf Tournament, Western Equipment Distributors
(Seattle and Spokane, WA), PAC-WEST Distributing
(Wilsonville, OR) and TORO donated nearly $4,500 as
cosponsors of the tournament.
During the luncheon following the Columbia Cup Golf
Tournament, a $1,000 donation from TURF-SEED, Inc.
(Hubbard, OR) was presented to Mike Erb, Chairman of
the NTA Research & Scholarship Committee.

With the endorsement of nearly all of the major golfrelated organizations in the Pacific Northwest the Dollarper-golfer for TURF (Turfgrass Universities Research
Fund) fund raising campaign announced in the last issue
by NTA president Randy White is off to a fast start. Below
is a list of the clubs and courses that have already
committed to the Dollar-per-golfer for Turf for 1995:

By now, all NTA members and other interested parties
should have received a Registrant Registration and
Program Packet or a conference announcement for the
49th Northwest Turfgrass Conference scheduled to be
held in Stevenson, Washington at the Skamania Lodge
and Conference Center October 9-12, 1995. The first
mailing of registration packets went out the middle of July
and the final mailing, to those not already registered, goes
out the middle of August. If, for any reason, you haven't
received your registration packet and you would like one,
call the NTA office.
Enclosed in this issue of the newsletter is a copy of
the conference Schedule of Events and Education
Program. This year's conference is sure to be one of the
best ever. Great, informative educational sessions: golf;
tours-both educational and entertaining; scrumptious
food; fun entertainment; an opportunity to renewal old
acquaintances; and, all in a resort setting. What more
can you ask for? We look forward to seeing you there.

Conference "Motivational"
Speaker Deals with Change
The "motivational" speaker at the conference will be
Dr. Lawrence C. Helms of Western Training Systems, a
nationally recognized management and sales training
corporation.
Larry is a nationally respected and
recognized expert in the field of personal development
programs. He holds a Ph. D. from the University of
Michigan and a postdoctoral certificate in management
from Harvard University. He is also a former Fulbright
Scholar with three books and numerous articles to his
credit.
He has been called an "edu-trainer" and
Tuntastic" for his unique ability to mix good, clean humor
and professional stage magic with his serious training
messages. His programs are definitely NOT dry lectures,
but rather exciting learning experiences that result in over
70% of his annual business being repeat clients. Those
of you that attended the Northwest Turfgrass Conference
in Sunriver a few years ago will remember the excellent
job Larry did at that conference.

TO:
NTA RESEARCH AND SCHOLARSHIP FUND SUPPORTERS
FROM: NTA Research and Scholarship Fund Trustees
Intimately involved with turfgrass management, we realize more than most, that today's
turfgrass quality is the result of knowledge and technological gains resulting from research
and education accompanied by hard work and effort. We owe our thanks to those who
gave their time and money to make the research and education possible, for without them
we would have to rely on our own slow trial and error methods.
Few of us are independently capable of nor prepared to conduct the research or develop
the education programs necessary to keep the industry on the leading edge. Recognizing
this, the Northwest Turfgrass Association created a research and scholarship fund to help
make it possible for each of us to participate significantly in the advancement of present
and future knowledge. Through this fund, each of us can financially contribute to industry
research and education advancements.
On the reverse side you will find a contribution form to assist you and your employer in
responding as quickly as possible. Please make checks payable to " N T A Research and
Scholarship Fund" and mail it with a copy of the contribution form to:
NTA • P.O. Box 1367 • Olympia, WA 98507
Your contribution is tax deductible and the fund is administered in accordance with the
Charitable Trust Act of the State of Washington.

SPONSOR PROGRAM
Turf grounds maintenance and irrigation suppliers and other interested parties are
invited to become a S p o n s o r of an activity or event during the N o r t h w e s t
Turfgrass C o n f e r e n c e conducted annually by the Northwest Turfgrass Association.
Around 300-400 golf course, park, sports facility, lawn grounds maintenance and
ornamental professionals and suppliers interested in the latest turfgrass-related
research and developments are usually in attendance.
The purpose of the S p o n s o r P r o g r a m is to provide industry suppliers with an
opportunity for tax d e d u c t i b l e advertisement of their services and, at the same time,
through the reduction in conference costs, free-up conference receipts for funding
research activity and scholarships. During the very successful trial year of the
S p o n s o r P r o g r a m , the focus was on golf tee sponsorship during the preconference
R.L. Goss Golf Tournament for Research. Sponsors had a professionally-constructed,
multi-color sign of their company logo and name at a tee plus a reproduction of the tee
sign on a sponsor sign board that was displayed at all the major events during the
conference. The program has since been expanded to include a variety of
conference-related sponsor opportunities, in addition to golf tees. Sponsor
opportunities now include:
Golf Te e S
Honoraria/Expenses

Sponsors will receive recognition for their sponsorship in the form of signage at an
event, if appropriate; complimentary admission for two supplier representatives to the
conference get-acquainted reception; recognition throughout the conference; and,
recognition throughout the year in the N o r t h w e s t Turfgrass T o p i c s newsletter.

A former collegiate debate and interpretive speech
champion, Larry delivers his messages in an exciting
inspirational style. He is regarded by many as the best
all-around speaker on the West Coast today.
Larry's two-hour presentation Wednesday morning
during the conference, as well as his companion program
later that same day are "musts" for conference-goer's,
spouses and/or companions, alike.
His two-hour
presentation will be on the subject of "Managing Change."
This is a practical program that explores the mental
barriers we create when faced with change and presents
practical concrete methods to manage change.

Suppliers Invited To Be
1995 Conference Sponsors
Turf grounds maintenance and irrigation suppliers
and others are being invited to become a financial
Sponsor of an activity or event during the 49th
Northwest Turfgrass Conference. The goal of the
"Sponsor Program" is to provide industry suppliers with an
opportunity for tax deductible advertising and, at the same
time, through the reduction in conference costs, raise
funds for research and scholarships.
This year golf tees, honoraria, events and/or the
overall conference will be available for sponsors. In
exchange for a tax deductible donation, Golf Tee,
Honoraria, Event and Overall Conference Sponsors will
be recognized with a very professionally done multicolored reproduction of the their company logo on the
conference Sponsor Board displayed at various sessions
and events during the conference. Golf Tee Sponsors and
Event Sponsors will have their sign displayed on the golf
course or at the event they sponsor and on the Sponsor
Board. In addition, all sponsors are recognized in each
issue of the NTA Northwest Turfgrass Topics during
the year following the conference.
A Sponsor Program Sign-up Form is enclosed.

Association Directory
Remodeling Under Consideration

1995/96 Board Director
Nominations and Elections

The NTA Board of Directors is considering authorizing
a major change in what has been known as the "Directory
of the Northwest Turfgrass Association." The directory
has historically been organized with an alphabetical listing
of association members by name with a cross reference
alphabetical listing by employer. One change being
considered would be to reorganize the content to sections
and/or listings of members alphabetically by type of turf
management speciality e.g. golf course superintendents,
parks/municipal, school district employees, et al. An
additional change being considered is to expand the
directory to include all golf courses in the region whether
they have a member in the association or not. Let us
know what you thoughts are about these proposed
changes and whether or not they would be of any benefit
to you.

The terms of three NTA Board Directors, Thomas A.
Christy, CGCS (Golf Course Superintendent, Riverside
Golf & Country Club-Portland, Oregon), Donald A.
Clemans, CGCS (Sales Representative, The Scott
Company-Sisters, Oregon), and John W. Monson,
CGCS (Facilities Manager, Seattle Seahawks-Kirkland,
Washington) expire this year. Christy and Monson are
completing three year terms and Clemans a one year
term. All three directors are eligible for renomination and
reelection.
The Nominating Committee, chaired by Immediate
past president Thomas A. Christy, has begun work
compiling a slate of nominees for these board director
positions. Board director candidates may be nominated
either of two ways: 1) by recommendation of the
nominating committee, or 2) by nomination from the
"floor" during the annual meeting of the active members
of the association. Individuals interested in having
someone (including them self) considered by the
nominating committee should send the name to Tom
Christy, Chairman, NTA Nominating Committee, P.O. Box
1367, Olympia, WA 98507.

A Final Thank You To The
1994 Conference Sponsors
We want to extend a final thank you to the 1994
Northwest Turfgrass Conference Sponsors. Through
their participation we were able to increase our Research
and Scholarship Fund and, as a result, provide more
funding support to OSU and WSU for research and
scholarships.

Most of Oregon Gets
New Telephone Area Code
Here we go again! Now it's Oregon's turn, though.
Much of Oregon is in for a new telephone area code,
according to U.S. West Communications. The northwest
portion of the state from Astoria to Salem will continue to
be assigned the 503 area code while the rest of the state
will be assigned the new area code 541. Folks will be
encouraged to being using the new 541 telephone area
code beginning November 5, 1995 with the intent that it
will become mandatory June 30, 1996. Those of us in
Washington who are still experiencing the "joys" of having
their area code changed wish our Oregonian colleagues
all the best.
