In Appreciation of MGCSA Donations
For Turfgrass Research at Cornell University
“ My colleagues and I at the New York State Agricultural
Experiment Stations are very pleased that the Metropolitan
Golf Course Superintendent’s Association is convening for
the First MGCSA Educational Turfgrass Seminar. We are
hopeful that many more will follow, and that we may contri­
bute to the success of these seminars. The MGCSA has con­
tributed generously to the research, teaching and extension
programs of the Experiment Stations. This First Educational
Seminar is especially significant because one of the partici­
pants, Dr. Patricia Vittum, conducted her graduate training
with funds provided mostly by the MGCSA. Dr. Haruo
Tashiro was Pat’s professor, and I am sure that he would be
here today if it was at all possible. Dr. Tashiro, Dr. Petrovic,
I, and our colleagues at the Agricultural Experiment Stations
wish to recognize the importance of the MGCSA’s service to
the turfgrass industry. We, therefore, present you with this
plaque, to preserve the memory of your past and current con­
tributions, and to express our sincerest appreciation. This is
an award that is held in highest regard, and is given only to
our most important donors. You are the first turfgrass group
or individual in New York to be so honored. Thé plaque here­

by designates that the Metropolitan Golf Course Superinten­
dent’s Association has been named a “ Friend of the College
of Agriculture and Life Science at Cornell University.” We
thank you.”
The plaque was presented by Dr. Richard Smiley to Mike
Maffei, MGCSA President.

Reaching Out Committee
I am sure those of you who participated in making a special
effort for the MGCA’s Reaching Out Committee will agree
that the few hours spent gathering articles for the needy was a
worthwhile effort.
Your response to our request from the MGCSA members
and friends was very good. We collected toys, games and an
abundance of clothing both new and slightly used. These
articles were distributed to the Department of Service of the
Westchester Association for Retarded Citizens of White
Plains, New York and the Mount Kisco Day Care Center for
children of Mount Kisco and vicinity.
The Committee, consisting of Bob Alonzi, Mike Maffei,
Dick Gonyea, A1 Moore, Pat Lucas, John Wistrand, Peter
Rappoccio and myself, would like to express their gratitude
and appreciation to all of you who helped to brighten the
holiday season for others. We are constantly reminded
through faith, that it is better to give than to receive.
God has blessed us another year in our efforts to help those
who are less fortunate than we are.
The Reaching Out Committee would like to remind you,
that we are looking forward to the drive for 1982. So keep us
in mind during your spring cleaning and throughout the year.
We are also looking for ways to improve and expand the
program to reach more of the needy on a larger scale. Your
ideas will be appreciated. Anyone wishing to help or become a
part of this Committee, please contact Bob Bruce or any
Committee member.
We thank you for your support and may God bless all of
Bob Bruce, Chairman
* you.

More Golf Rules in Brief, 1981 Revision
by Nunzio Ciampi, PGA
How to Drop — Rule 22 — If you are allowed to drop a
ball under the rules — face the hole, stand erect, and drop the
ball over your shoulder. If the ball touches you before it
strikes the ground, you must redrop without penalty.
If the ball touches you after it strikes the ground, or it
comes to rest against you and moves when you move, there is
no penalty and you must play the ball as it lies. If a dropped
ball rolls into a hazard out of bounds, more than two club
lengths from the point where it touched the ground, or comes
to rest nearer the hole, it must be redropped without penalty.
If the ball rolls again into such a position, it must be placed
on the spot where it first touched the ground when redropped.
Unplayable Ball — Rule 29 — You are the sole judge as to
whether your ball is unplayable. You may declare it unplay­
able at any place on the course except in a water hazard. You
have three options — under a penalty of one stroke you
may, (1) play a ball at the spot from which the original ball
was played, (2) drop a ball within two club lengths of the
point where the ball lay but not nearer the hole, or (3) behind
the point where the ball lay, keeping that point between you
and the hole, with no limit to how far behind that point the
ball may be dropped.
Obstructions — Rule 31 — Any movable obstruction may
be removed. If the ball be moved in so doing, it shall be
replaced without penalty. Interference by an immovable
obstruction occurs when the ball lies in or on the obstruction,
or so close to it that it interferes with your stance or your
swing. The nearest point of relief must be determined — this
means the spot at which you can take your stance or swing
without interference from the obstruction. (In taking relief
you must not cross over, through, or under the obstruction,
you can’t go nearer the hole, or in a hazard or on a green.)
After you have determined this point, you shall lift the ball
and drop it within one club-length of that point. Exception —
you can cross over a cart path to determine the nearest point
of relief, and you can cross through a shelter or other ob­
struction when your ball lies in or on the obstruction.

Casual Water & Ground under Repair — If you elect not
to play your ball from casual water or ground under repair,
you must first determine the nearest point of relief and drop
within one club-length of that point, without penalty. In a
HAZARD, you may drop a ball either: without penalty, in
the hazard as near as possible to the spot where the ball lay,
but not nearer the hole. OR under penalty o f one stroke, out­
side the hazard, keeping the spot where the ball lay between
yourself and the hole.
Hazards — Rule 33 — When your ball lies in or touches a
hazard or water hazard, nothing shall be done which may
improve its lie. Before making a stroke, you shall not touch 1
the ground in the hazard or water in the water hazard with the |
club or touch or more a loose impediment (you can remove ,
obstructions from a hazard). The ball may not be lifted for '
identification. There is no penalty for playing a wrong ball |
from a hazard. But you must locate, and play out the hole ,
with your original ball.
Ball in water hazard — If your ball lie or be lost in a water (
hazard, you may drop a ball under penalty or one stroke, i
either: (1) Behind the water hazard, keeping the spot at which 1
the ball last crossed the margin of the hazard between your- |
self and the hole, and with no limit to how far back you may i
drop. OR (2) as near as possible to the spot where the original ball was played. If your ball is in a lateral water hazard, you
can play in accordance with (1) or (2) above, or drop a ball j
within two club-lengths of the point where the ball last cross­
ed the margin of the hazard on either side.
Discontinuance o f Play — You shall not discontinue play
on account of bad weather or for any other reason, unless you
consider that there be danger from lightening, or sudden ill­
ness which the committee considers satisfactory.
Scoring — You are solely responsible for the correctness of
the recorded score for each hole. If you return a score for any
hole lower than actually played, and sign it, you are disquali­
fied. A score higher than actually played must stand as
returned.
Preferred Lies — Winter rules — A ball lying on the fair- *
way of the hole being played may be moved with the club, or

Retirement Heaven
If you’re thinking of retiring, which state should you settle
down it? Utah, reports a surprising Chase Econometrics
study that looked at 10 factors, including weather, property
taxes, living costs, housing, unemployment, the ratio of
elderly to working-age population and metropolitanization (a
measurement of access to medical facilities, public transpor­
tation, social services^ etc.). Rounding out Chase’s top five
states to retire in are Louisiana, South Carolina, Nevada and
Texas. Those two traditional retirement havens, Arizona and
Florida, ranked eighth and ninth respectively, while sunny
California came in 17th. The worst state for retirees, according to the study, is Massachusetts, followed by Maine, New
Jersey, Vermont, Rhode Island and New York.

Lime for Japanese Beetle Grub Control Apparently Not Effective
by Pat Vittum

A superintendent in Ohio reported in 1979 that when he
applied lime to the turf in the summer, at a rate of 2 tons per
acre, he had virtually no Japanese beetle grubs. Another
superintendent, in Massachusetts, mentioned that when he
applied lime for Pythium control in July of 1980, and was
unable to finish the job because of equipment failure, he later
noticed a line corresponding to where he had stopped liming.
The turf on the limed side was healthy, while the unlimed turf
was stressed. He attributed the weakening to grub damage.
However, the first of these situations did not involve “ con­
trolled” conditions, where similar areas did not receive lime
for comparison, and the second situation had other stresses as
well as grubs operating on the turf. Therefore, we decided to
conduct a simple test, under “ controlled” conditions, to test
the effect of lime on grub populations.
In the summer of 1981, we set up two small scale tests in
eastern Massachusetts, using only dolomitic limestone, to see
if the lime would reduce the grub populations. Each test
consisted of an area 50 feet long and 40 feet wide, marked
every 10 feet in both directions. Each row of five squares had
one square which received no lime at all. The remaining
squares received lime (10 pounds per 100 square feet) either
July 22, July 29, August 5, or August 12. We returned on
October 1, removed one square foot of sod (about four inches
deep) from the center of each 10 feet by 10 feet plot, and
counted all the grubs.

In both test there was no statistically significant difference
between the untreated check and any of the limed areas. Thus
it appears, at least from this preliminary study, that liming
alone will not reduce grub populations significantly. Current­
ly we are studying related factors (especially soil pH), and
trying to get a better understanding of the factors which may
cause Japanese beetle adults to prefer certain areas for egg
laying.
Both test areas were in roughs cut at two inches or higher.
The Bolton area was out of play, and received water whenever
it was needed (no water restrictions there yet!), so that the
turf was only subjected to stree from grub feeding. The turf
was very healthy, with no visible signs of weakening, in spite
of consistently high grub populations (at least 20 grubs per
square foot). Thus, it seems that, at least in some situations,
relatively high grub populations can be tolerated — if the turf
can be left at a high cut, is not subjected to heavy traffic and
wear and tear from machinery, and receives adequate mois­
ture during the summer months.
This preliminary test of the effect of lime on Japenese
beetle grubs will be continued in 1982. Among other things,
more rates of application of lime will be tried, and at least one
additional site will be included in the study. Related studies in
the laboratory should yield more information on grub and
beetle preferences for soil conditions.

the tu rf plant. Disease control is longer last­
ing and is less affected by rainfall or fre­
quent irrigation. Tank mixing fungicides
with different modes of action also reduces
chances of benzimidazole resistance. You
help insure the long-term effectiveness of
T e r s a n 1991 in your disease control
program.
This year, plan on using T e r s a n 1991 in
com bination with Daconil 2787. It’s the
tank mix tu rf diseases can’t match.

With any chemical, follow
labeling instruction and
warnings carefully.
