John Reid Lifetime Achievement Award Established Pesticide Groups Guido Cribari First Recipient Define Goals The Met GCSA is proud and pleased to announce the introduction of the John Reid Lifetime Achievement Award: to be presented annually to a local resident who has demonstrated through a lifetime - a knowledge of, and a commitment to, the game of golf and the science of golf course management. John Reid, a Westchester resident in his day, is affectionately known as the “Father of American G olf’ for many reasons - from playing the first game of golf in this country in 1888, to forming the first golf club at St. Andrews the same year, to being instrumental in the founding of such pre-eminent golf organizations as the United States Golf Association in 1894 and the Metropolitan Golf Association in 1988. Through all of this, John Reid recognized that the precious golf courses on which this new game was being played required daily maintenance. He assigned personal staff to this necessary task and started, quite simply, a new profession - that of the Golf Course Superintendent. Bom the seventh son of a seventh son on the second day of the seventh month in 1916, Guido Cribari will complete his 41 st year with the Macy-Westchester-Gannett newspaper group this September. A solid friendship with another golfing immortal, Fred Corcoran, and an education that included horticulture and botany prepared Guido for his love affair with golf and his true understanding of the world of the Golf Course Superintendent. Cribari prefers the title, “Greenkeeper,” and recognizes that the benefits of better equipment and chemicals are balanced today by increased demands on the superinten­ dent and an even greater need to communicate. He often asks where can a more dedicated professional society be found than those men and women who manage our golf courses? We ask, where will golf find a better combination of faithful and unselfish servants than John Reid and Guido Cribari? The Association will present the John Reid Award to Guido Cribari at an appropriate time this summer. ■ Pro-pesticide organizations in New York and Connecticut have stepped up their campaigns to wage effective legisla­ tive battles in Albany and Hartford for a rational approach to pesticide usage. The New York State Pesticide Users Council (NYSPUC) was formed in the Fall of 1983 to fill the void where no formal organization existed at the time to represent the 65,000 certified applicators across the State. Met GCSA member Gary Mullane has been appointed to the NYSPUC Board of Directors to represent the field of Ornamental Shade Trees and Turf. The immediate goals of NYSPUC are to . raise the necessary funding to allow the Council to engage an individual to serve in the dual capacity of Executive Director and environmental lobbyist. Mullane advises that, “New York has been made a pivotal target state by the anti-pesticide groups. I am pleased that NYSPUC has already been recognized as the spokesgroup for pro-pes­ ticide activity throughout the State.” On the Connecticut side, the Association for the Rational Use of Pesticides (RAP) was formed this last month. Met GCSA member Richard Marcks of the Fairview Country Club was elected the Association’s first President. RAP is presently finalizing its plans for incorporation, establishing ByLaws and setting a dues schedule. Marcks defines the goals of his Associa­ tion as, “Creating a forum of people interested in a rational approach to pesticide use - along with the effective dissemination of information and scientific fact.” Both NYSPUC and RAP will seek the memberjp support of Golf Course Superintennts in the area. Each organization offers attractive individual dues schedule. ■ Chuck Martineau and Peter Rappoccio congratulate Guido. 1 P.O.BOX 196 Thornwood, NY 10594 203-438-6720 BOARD OF DIRECTORS President Peter R.

Martineau Whippoorwill Club Presidential Message The Met GCSA is presently preparing membership information for its 1985 Direc­ tory - for distribution to our members during the month of April. All the data is being fed into a local “personal computer” so that it can be easily maintained from year to year. Literally, at the touch of a button, the sort capability of the computer system gave us the following information about our 251 members: Number % of Total Members in Westchester Members in Connecticut Members outside area Members in New Jersey Members on Long Island 106 71 37 19 18 42.2% 28.3% 14.7% 7.6% 7.2% Members belonging to GCSAA Members Certified (of 98 Class A) 232 13 92.5% 13.3% A careful look at these numbers tells us something about ourselves. First of all, our Association does not enjoy a balanced geographic membership - a situation that should correct itself in due time, without interfering with the very effective chapters now serv­ ing Golf Course Superintendents in New Jersey and on Long Island. William J. Gaydosh Edgewood CC Edward C. Horton Westchester CC Melvin B. Lucas, Jr. Piping Rock Club Robert C. Mullane Alpine Tree Care, Inc. I am pleased that over 92% of our members belong to GCSAA. This is the kind of support our national organization deserves and needs. Many of the things that are im­ portant to our careers and profession can only be accomplished through a strong and well-supported GCSAA. Harry H. Nichol Burning Tree CC - The statistic that should be of the greatest interest is the fact that only 13 Met GCSA Class A members out of a possible 98 are GCSAA certified. This translates into the 13.3% certification figure shown above, which is above the national norm of 10%. Both these percentages are disappointing. We should understand, however, that the GCSAA Certification Program is still relatively new and going through a natural growth period. Our national Association is working hard to provide the best possible Certification Program - a goal that will be realized for our benefit in the near future. Timothy T.

Both GCSAA and the Met GCSA will help any Golf Course Superin­ tendent subscribe to the program and prepare for the final examination. I would like to congratulate the following Met GCSA members who have earned the valued “CGCS” designation and thank them for showing the way: Joe Alonzi Frank Bevelacqua Steve Cadenelli Steve Finamore Ted Horton Mel Lucas, Jr Pat Lucas, Jr. Jim Medeiros Harry Nichol Scott Niven Bob Osterman Ed Walsh Greg Wojick I call upon the Met GCSA membership to take a leadership role in qualifying for pro­ fessional certification.

Furthermore, in a review of the many articles written about this subject and from personal observations during five years of triplex usage at Westchester Country Club. I believe that the use of light weight mowers and clipping removal is helping to develop higher percentages of bentgrasses in the fairways. Because of this, savings in other areas of turfgrass management have begun to show up. Namely - a reduction in the need for aerification due to reduced compaction: less need for renovation, seed, and sod since turf loss has lessened considerably: a reduction in chemical applications for disease and weed controls because of the improved health and resistance of the basic grasses: less demand for irrigation and in particular afternoon syringing resulting in savings of labor, water and pumping costs: a reduced need for weekend mowing since the lower height of cut usually associated with the triplex fairway mowing enables skipping a cutting more readily than before: a reduction in the expense of review of fairway contours because the smaller units are able to maintain an architect’s defined fairway edge more easily than the larger units could: and, of course, an obvious saving would be the original cost of mowing fairways and approaches with conventional equipment. Finally, if the above is not enough, the resulting improvement in playability and overall appearance of the fairways should probably justify the additional cost by itself. A summary of these savings is estimated on page 5 and matched against the costs of triplex mowing of twenty-three acres of fairways at Westchester Country Club. These projections will ultimately show that the use of light weight ■ Pages have been written extolling the values of light weight fairway mowing equipment and the removal of clippings. Surely, the subject has been exhausted? Yet, I still receive frequent inquiries about the costs involved. As a result, by examining information given to me by Bob Alonzi (Winged Foot Golf Club) and Joe Alonzi (Fenway Golf Club), who are both triplex fairway mowing and removing clippings successfully, and by reviewing equipment maintenance records prepared by our Assistant, Will Heintz, I have assembled the following cost projections for triplex fairway mowing and clipping removal for the 1985 season for the West Course at Westchester Country Club, our sixth year of triplex mowing. Perhaps these costs might be of help as you wrestle with the decision of whether to mow with lighter (continued on page 5) Coming Events (through June) THANK YOU !

Baston, CGCS, Birmingham, Alabama, was elected President of the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (GCSAA) during GCSAA’s 56th Annual Interna­ tional Golf Course Conference and Show held in Washington, D.C., February 5-13,1985. Baston succeeds James W. Timmer­ man, CGCS, Bloomfield, Mich. Baston has also served GCSAA as Director, as SecretaryTreasurer and as Vice President in 1984. Baston was the golf course superintendent for the Country Club of Birmingham for 12 years before becoming the golf course superintendent of the Percy Marcum Golf Club, Empire, Ala., in 1984. Previ­ ously, he was superintendent at the Bay Hill Club, Orlando and at the Savannah Inn and Country Club, Georgia. He was also assistant superintendent at the Augusta National Golf Club. President Baston has been a member of GCSAA for 19 years serving the Association as chairman and as a member of various committees, in addition to serving as an officer; and is also a member of the Alabama Turfgrass Association. He also has been a director and vice president of the Georgia Golf Course Superinten­ dents Association, vice president and president of the Southern Turfgrass Association, president of the Alabama Turfgrass Association and a member of the Tennesssee Turfgrass Association and the USGA Green Section Committee. President Baston earned a B. S. degree in Education from Georgia Southern College. To GCSAA’s new president, Gene Baston, each individual member’s needs are of paramount importance. “Because GCSAA is a membership-oriented association, we have to be able to reach golf course superintendents of all types of courses, both public and private,” Baston said. “And we’ve got to adapt our educational programs and other services to meet all the needs represented by the very diverse group of people out there.” ■ Tournaments to Emphasize Education 1985 Met GCSA golf tournaments will use on-site opportunities to focus on special Rules, design and maintenance situations that exist within the golf course. The Meeting Notice mailed to members three weeks in advance of each Toumament/Meeting date will highlight educa­ tional opportunities as developed by the Host Superintendent in the golf course maintenance area, the Host Golf Profes­ sional in the Rules area and Golf Course Architect and Met GCSA Member Stephen Kay in the design area. Members of the American Society of Golf Course Ar­ chitects are invited to participate in this program. Following play, members and guests will given the opportunity to have their questions answered in the three discipline areas. The goal of the Met GCSA Educa­ tion and Tournament Committees is to provide enjoyable golf competition - while at the same time taking informal advantage of obvious learning situations. ■ grass d roots turf products, inc.

Applications were made at a nozzle pressure of 30 psi. In 1981, Dr. Couch began research to define procedures necessary for making the most effective spray applications of fungicides. Trials were designed to determine the following: 1. optimum amount of water per 1,000 sq. ft. of turf 2. appropriate nozzle sizes 3. most suitable pressure at the nozzles for the control of turfgrass diseases on fairway and greens.
