A good time was had be all. (We’re sure the football marks in the putting green will heal by next season!) The course, as always, was put in beautiful shape by Don LaFond. Thanks, Don for a great job. We’ d also like to thank the Fuller brothers for allowing us to hold our Golf Day at Bay Pointe. Ward Swanson and Jim Couzens set up a great tournament which everyone enjoyed. As the scores were turned in under the watchful eye of George and Jerry Prieskorn, the following results were tabulated: Closest to the hole No. 16 - R. Wolf Closest to the Hole No. 3 - B.

But its real m e a n i n g and implication is not as obvious. As you travel around the state or country, you often compare your course, equipment, budget, etc., with what you see else­ where. You probably ask too, “ How does he do it?” to do different As we all know, different situations will permit the golf course superin­ tendent things for himself and his course. Climate, soil conditions, age of the course and particularly the members’ desires will have a great bearing on the course itself and the latitude the superin­ has. But, tendent the results boil down the superin­ to tendent’ s salesmanship. frequently A favorite definition of salesman­ ship is the art of never selling but rather learning what people want and then helping them obtain it. Involved in this approach to salesmanship are the arts of observation and persua­ sion. Observation tells you what the people want, persuasion provides the means of giving them what they want. Most golf course superintendents / could find this approach successful ( for themselves and their course. They i are blessed with an abundance of the ' power of observation and with some [ effort could easily improve on their j abilities to persuade. To utilize this plan, the superin- I tendent must first determine what his , golfers want. Usually, this involves | three major areas: scores, beauty and i prestige, not necessarily in any order of preference. Next, he must adopt an j attitude of “ selling” what he wants in terms of what the members desire. Assume for example you have been and exhibits, equipment contemplating what you feel to be a ' necessary purchase. After attending | field various demonstrations talking with fellow superintendents and salesmen, you have determined exactly what you want. What now?

While these points may be of real concern to you or your fellow superin­ tendents, they will only maximize your interest while minimizing the interests of the golfer. through with A better approach might be to inquire into the golfer’ s desires to play less mechanical interruption to his game, having fewer non-play holes or days, more uniform playing surfaces, having a course with greater beauty - in short, being the envy of golfers at other courses.

Jennings Road Swartz Creek, Mich. 48473 Telephone: 313/655-4702 13 Striped Ground Squirrel This little rodent is also known in Michigan as the thirteen-lined sper­ mophile and the gopher. Neither of these latter names is a suitable one. In the first place, the animal does not have thirteen stripes, but 23 - 12 dark ones and 11 light ones. In the next place, the word “ spermophile” means “ seed lover,” and while these animals do eat seeds, so do most other rodents. The “ gopher,” perhaps most commonly used in Michigan, is really a localism, and would be misleading to people from other states. term In the south, gopher means a type tortoise small burrowing land of common in that region. In the west, the term is applied loosely to all ground dwelling squirrels, but particularly to the odd group of pocket gophers, which are not found in Michigan at all. It so happens that in Michigan we have but one ground squirrel, while in many states there are various species, and even several genera, of ground squirrels, So the term “ gohper” lacks significance, and it is better to call our animal the Striped Ground Squirrel. Our ground squirrel lives in open fields and grasslands, where he digs his little burrows. These burrows are much like miniature woodchuck bur­ rows, and we should keep in mind that woodchucks are merely big ground squirrels after all. Ground squirrels hibernate in winter, again showing then- kinship to the woodchuck. They retire to their underground dens in September or October, and emerge in March or April, thus escaping winter altogether. Continued on Page 16 WANT THE FINEST TURF IRRIGATION SYSTEM?

Michigan ground squirrels are of little economic importance, since they seldom become really abundant; their burrows are too small to be a nuisance except on lawns or golf courses, and the grubs and insects they consume probably compensate the grain taken from crop lands. for Their western relations, however, cannot be so readily dismissed, for they are far more abundant, and many species are much larger in size. Also, many of the western ground squirrels are colonial in habit, and a colony may be very destructive to crops, while on steep . slopes their many burrows may lead to soil erosion. Extensive rodent control campaigns have been carried on in western states to rid lands of ground squirrels. and extensive, Biologists point out that some of expensive, these campaigns would not have been neces­ sary had not previous campaigns greatly reduced the natural enemies of the ground squirrels. Wolves, coyotes, foxes, hawks, owls, etc., the predators whose natural function is to hold in check rodent populations, are ruthlessly cut down under the guise of “ vermin the rodent populations expand like steam from a teakettle when the lid is removed.

Communication is the key between supervisory personnel and the man actually doing the job. Sometimes it is extremely difficult to understand how orders or instructions are so thoroughly misunderstood. There are occasions when you have been thinking about a job so much that you feel that you have told your foreman all the details and then you wonder why your orders have not been followed accurately. Also, your foreman may not fully understand, and rather than admit lack of knowledge he doesn’t ask questions for clarifica­ tion. A good idea would be to write down the job and its requirements and review them with the foreman to be * sure that your communication has been received.
