Also that the coming year will bring all of you excellent results in your courses and projects that you have planned. Our heartfelt thanks go to an out­ standing job performed by Mr. and Mrs. Earl Prieskorn in our Christmas Party at Edgewood Country Club. As you all know, the cuisene was excellent, as well as the location and selection of date. It was evident that the turnout exhibited many old friends, which contributed to a wonderful time which was had by all. At this time I would like to men­ tion the need for your support of our new magazine, “ A Patch of Green ” Your cooperation and suggestions are needed and welcome in this endeavor for its success. Let us all have a positive attitude on new members in the new year. Wishing all o f you the best, Ward Swanson MBCGCSA Officers Left to right: Robert Prieskorn, Western Golf and Country Club, Al Kaltz, Maple Lane Golf Club, Clem Wolfrom, Detroit Golf Club, Ward Swanson, President, Plum Hollow Golf Club, Ted Woehrle, Vice President, Oakland Hills Country Club, David Moote, Essex Golf Club, Gerald Gill, Secretary-Treasurer, Tam-O-Shanter Golf Club.

A brief discussion was held on the new turf products offered by DuPont for control. The newest and hottest product on the mar­ ket today is Tersan 1991, a new sys­ temic f u n g i c i d e . Questions were answered about fungicide after a short presentation on the new product by Mr. Bob Miller, o f the DuPont Company, Inc. Our thanks to Mr. Bill Savage, o f Turf Supplies, Inc., our host for the day. The feast and the program was enjoyed by all. During the Business Meeting, held after the educational program, it was decided to publish a monthly news­ letter from our association to its mem­ bers. A list o f suggested names for the publication was s u b m i t t e d by the membership and given to the Board for their selection. Many good names were submitted (over 60) and after much discussion “ A Patch of Green” was picked as the official name for our newsletter. We are looking for advertisers, so if any of you know of anybody that would benefit by advertising in our paper, please contact: Ted Woehrle 3390 Witherbee Troy, Michigan 48084 Advertising rates are found on the inside front cover. 1970 At A Glance Sometimes it pays to look back and recall what has past - 1970 was a troublesome year for the grass growers of Michigan. A cool wet spring, fol­ lowed by a hot dry summer made our job very difficult. The grass roots never did penetrate the soil to their normal depth, making it impossible for the already short rooted Poa annua to support the life of our predominantly Poa fairways. What grass did survive found itself being attacked by Dollar Spot and a few other diseases. All in all it was very rough. few bright things did happen, however. The turf industry has come to life. We are once again being flooded with new products; mowers, sprayers, fertilizers, chemicals and irrigation A automation. 1970 was the year of the triplex type greens mower. Also, within our own organization, there is renewed interest and partici­ pation which was welcomed by all members in 1970. We had a most suc­ cessful year - a t t e n d a n c e at our meetings was on the increase. Our fund raising day at the annual golf outing produced over $10,000.00 for turf research at Michigan State Uni­ versity. A r e v i t a l i z e d Public Relations program, headed by Don Denham of National Chemsearch, has produced some fine coverage in the local news­ papers and our National Trade maga­ zines. 5 TORO helps you Take Better Care t i ^ r Greensmaster 3 Outperforms 4 men, Here’ s the kindest cut of all, as well as the fastest. The new Greensmaster 3 gives you the best of both worlds, by delivering 18 ribbon-cut greens in about 3‘/2 hours, and paying for itself in a single season. The Greensmasfer 3 saves time because of simplified operator controls - simple pull knobs to change cutting heights - single foot control to raise or lower cutting units, with simultaneous engage-disengage - a mere 15 inch turning radius inside a 58 inch cut width - and a transport speed of 7 MPH. Now on display and available for March delivery. C. E. ANDERSON COMPANY 2 3 4 5 5 T E L E G R A P H R O A D A R E A C O D E 3 1 3 S O U T H F I E L D .

S Y S T E M I C F U N G I C ID E S Because of the pressures being put on the manufacturers of chemicals, by the government, the manufacturers have found ways o f producing pesticides that have little or no harmful effects on the environment. One of these new families of chemicals are the Systemic Fungicides. A systemic f u n g i c i d e works similarly to a systemic insecti­ cide in that the leaves and roots o f the plants pick up the material from the foliar applications and translocates it throughout the plant. DuPont’ s Tersan 1991 has been one of the first released by the Government for sale to the golf courses. Other companies are waiting for clearance on their products. Cleary has a product which will be called, 3336. MOWING E Q U I P M E N T The hydraulic greens mowers are still the big news and bound to become bigger. Toro is now ready to hit the market as well as the West Point in the field of triplex greens mowers. Jacob­ sen has improved their already suc­ cessful greens mower for 1971. Hy­ draulically operated fairway mowers and some new intermediate type mowers are also appearing on the scene for this new year. P O W E R S A N D T R A P R A K E S Several new time savers in trap rakes are available for this year. You will see some o f them at the up coming turf show in Denver. I R R I G A T I O N This is perhaps the fastest growing field in our industry. After all these 7 years we are finally receiving some attention from the sprinkler industry. They are actually making sprinklers for turf. To date, we have been using agri­ cultural equipment. Automatic equip­ ment is being improved and systems are being tailor made for the individual club and its Superintendent. The field of irrigation is moving so fast that some of the systems installed five years ago are obsolete. F E R T I L I Z E R S the vigorous growth that More and better f o r m u l a t i o n s for 1971. The trend seems to be toward less fertilizer on the fairways (to slow up is so detrimental during periods of stress) and more fertilizer, o f the proper anal­ ysis, on greens and tees. The key here is; propel analysis. Many superinten­ dents are finding out through soil tests that they may have nutritionally unbalanced soil, so they are buying fertilizers which contain their specific needs. This allows them to balance the soil for healthier turf. H E R B I C I D E S The last remaining weed problem of any consequence is Poa annua. 1971 will be a year when the superintendents will take a stand against Poa annua and rid t h e m s e l v e s o f this pest. Arsenical programs around the country have been successful, but this is a product that may become the victim of the to eliminate all polutants. government’ s new program "B a lm ” , and “ PO-SAN” are two excellent products each o f which has a different purpose and timing. Both are readily available. Crabgrass, clover, d a n d e l i o n s , knotweed and chickweed are all weeds of the past - so let's get POA! M ajor Contributions To Turf grass Culture by the M SU TurfgrassResearch Group • D e l i n i a t e d the major causes of turfgrass winter injury: (a) low temper­ ature, (b) desiccation and (c) snow mold diseases. Showed suffocation or gas toxicities under ice sheets to be of no significance. • Developed an e f f e c t i v e granular fungicide for Typhula blight control. • Shown Demosan to be as effective as the heavy metal fungicides in control­ ling Typhula blight. • Developed and d e m o n s t r a t e d the effectiveness o f dual-purpose winter protection covers for intensively main­ tained turfs. • Found that direct low temperature injury can be minimized c u l t u r a l l y through (a) proper surface and sub­ surface drainage, (b) a lower, judicious n i t r o g e n fertility level, (c) an N-K nutritional balance of 3 to 1, and (d) low soil arsenic levels. • Shade application studies showed disease and a favorable microenviron­ ment for disease development to be the major limiting factors in growing turf- grasses under shade trees, rather than competition lignt, water or nu­ trients. • Showed the i m p o r t a n c e o f water temperature influencing the sub­ mersion tolerance of turfs. • Defined the relative tolerance o f the major (a) low temperature stress and (b) submersion. • Developed and released a new red fescue variety-Wintergree. • Conducted a continuing program of turfgrass varietal evaluation for Michi­ gan of the bentgrasses, bluegrasses, fescues and ryegrasses. It has been one o f the most c o m p r e h e n s i v e in existence. • Developed improved methods of road­ side e s t a b l i s h m e n t in Michigan involving proper (a) seed mixture (a mi ni mum of 20% each of Kentucky bluegrass, red fescue and ryegrass), turfgrass species to for in (b) seeding rate (80# per acre), (c seedbed fertilization (80# each of N P 2O5, and K2O per acre), and (cj mulching (two tons of straw plus 1(X gallons of asphalt per acre or Soj Retention Mat). • Demonstrated hydroseeding to h quite inferior to shallow soil incoi poration and rolling in achieving rapid uniform turfgrass establishment unde droughty Michigan conditions. • Developed a method for experimen tally evaluating the rooting ability o sodded turfs. • Showed that sod rooting was mos rapid when (a) placed on moist rathe than dry soil, (b) m a i n t a i n e d at j relatively low nitrogen level proir t< harvest, and (c) harvested at 0.4 to O.j inch in depth. • Found no difference in the rootinj ability o f sod grown on organic 0 mineral soil. • Found high levels o f nitrogen ferti lization to increase the incidence c fairy ring. • Demonstrated that Fusarium bligh disease development could be mini mi zed by avoiding turfgrass moistur stress through proper irrigation prac tices. • Developed a method for c h e m i c a control of Fusarium blight. • Studies o f Poa annua strains fiom 4 states showed that two major extreme existed with all degrees of variatio occuring within these extremes. Th extremes are (a) the classical annua] bunch type which is a prolific see producer and (b) a perennial, creepin type which is a low seed producer. • Showed seed germi n a t i o n of Poi annua to be highest under altematin day-night temperature in the 55 to 7? range and to cease at soil temperatur of 80°F or higher. • Renovation studies on Poa annu Con 8 Best Wishes fora Successful Magazine W.

Have you noticed the small print they are using lately? Newspapers are getting farther and farther away when I hold them, and I have to squint to make out the news.

For one thing they are younger than they used to be when I was their age. On the other hand, people my own age are so much older than I am. I realize that my generation is approaching middle age. I ran into my roommate the other night, and he had changed so much that he didn’ t recognize me. “ You’ ve put on a little weight, Bob,” I said. “ It’ s this modern food,” Bob replied. “ It seems to be more fattening.” I got to thinking about poor Bob this morning while I was shaving.
