TEE TO GREEN STAFF

Since the early days of golf course management, superintendents around the
country have formed associations for the purpose of improving their own welfare by
communicating ideas, supporting educational programs and promoting a profes­
sional image of themselves. Since its inception, this has also been the general
purpose of the Metropolitan Golf Course Superintendent’s Association. Although
the relative importance of each of these objectives is debatable, certainly one of the
most important and talked about is our quest to be recognized as professionals and
for a job well done.
Nearly everything we do as individuals and as an association, contributes to our
overall image in the eyes of the golfing public. Therefore, it is necessary that we all
act in a professional manner at all times, from the way we dress, talk, write and
present our golf courses. I’m proud to say that as a group, our Association has
successfully adapted professionalism as a way of life, and many signs of the
recognition which we have strived for through these efforts are beginning to appear.
As individuals, many of us are being recognized at our clubs by being asked to
speak at golf functions and to write articles for the club newsletter. Many of our
local superintendents are also frequently asked to speak at various educational
programs around the country. Perhaps one of the most significant signs of recogni­
tion we have recently received in the Metropolitan area has been the advent of “The
Superintendent’s Column,” in the Met Golfer, written by Ted Horton and pub­
lished by the MGA. Ted’s article in each issue of the Met Golfer is an excellent
communications tool which gives us a voice with a large portion of Met area golfers.
This magazine is published quarterly and has a circulation of 100,000 copies.
Another very significant incident has been the presentation of the Snead Award to
Metropolitan area superintendents by the Met PGA. This award is presented to
honor individuals for their contriubtions to the PGA, the Met section and the game
of golf. Our specific reasons for winning the award are summed up with this
paragraph quoted from the Met PGA Bulletin:
“The presentation of the Snead Award to a group, rather than an individual is
unprecedented but certainly well justified. The impact of the golf course
superintendents on the game in this area has been remarkable to say the least.
Their cumulative efforts in golf course maintenance and grooming have had a
tremendous influence on the playability of our area’s courses as well as the
quality of championship play at every level of competition. Amateurs, profes­
sionals, private clubs, daily fee and municipal courses all have benefitted from
the strides of the area superintendents and their governing associations.”
It was a priviledge for me to accept this well publicized award on behalf of all Met
area superintendents at the Met PGA’s 26th Annual Educational Forum and
Awards Luncheon at the Westchester Country Club on Monday, April 18.
These are all signs that our search for recognition as profesisonals has not gone
unnoticed and is in fact a reality today. Let’s keep up the good work.

Dr. Michael Villani gave a very informa­

their programs that night.
Some 60 golfers challenged the course
on a very cold and windy day. Those who
braved the almost unbearable weather
conditions were rewarded by playing on a
beautifully maintained track. Fred

Developing and Maintaining a Successful Workforce
by M ichael H. C ook, Jr. - N Y S D EC
Pesticide applications on golf courses
in New York State is by far, not an easy
task for golf course superintendents.
Recently the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA), on M arch 30, 1988,
placed a “...Final Order cancelling all reg­
istrations of the pesticide diazinon for use
on golf courses and sod farms and imme­
diately prohibiting further use if diazinon
in these two areas...,” citing the unreason­
able risks to birds.
Here, for example, is another rule that
perhaps fosters the perception on the part
of pesticide users that there are too many
rules and regulations being handed down
by EPA and/or NYS DEC that doesn’t
seem to have much rhyme or reason.
Should this perception take hold, then
EPA and the NYS DEC may confront a
group of frustrated pesticide users and
possible contempt for its laws, rules and
regulations.

A
EGYPT

However, it is up to us, the pesticide
lser and regulatory field to work together
and develop a rapport that is open, mean­
ingful and workable that creates and fos­
ters an environment that both protects
the public and nurtures a relationship
where both parties can work together.
Perhaps one way to develop a relation­
ship with the regulatory community is to
develop and operate a training and educa­
tion program in regards to pesticide
application.
You’ve trained your technicians in pes­
ticide application. After drilling them in
the finer points of practice and proce­
dures of applications, they’re real pros.
They can and will operate your pesticide
equipment with great care, safety and
accuracy. However, are these skills con­
tinually updated with education and/or
training seminars?

Quality and consistent results from a
pesticide application, be it an insecticide
or herbicide, can be obtained through onthe-job training with seasoned employees
and education.
Training is a combination of learning
new skills, reinforcement of existing skills
and developing confidence in your ability
to use them. Here at New York State
Department of Environmental Conserva­
tion (NYS DEC), Region 3 (Westchester,
Putnam, Rockland, Dutchess, Orange,
Sullivan and Ulster Counties), the pesti­
cide staff is very concerned that skills
obtained are not forgotten and that new
ideas presented are looked at with an
open mind or objective view.
For example, seasoned employees are
an excellent resource to learn of the cir­
cumstances that create accidents, consist­
ent pesticide application, spills, safety in
handling pesticides, etc... Often their
experience will be conveyed in the form of
ideas for installing safety devices around
pesticide mixing areas or for implement­
ing methods for the correct calibration
and application of pesticides.
Educational seminars attended by
individuals and in-house training can
provide a vehicle by which employees can
be active and feel a part of the overall
scheme of the daily workload. An invest­
ment in a little time spent training and
B educating you and your workforce is
S worth the expenditure of a few dollars to
keep abreast of the ever changing golf
course industry.
Be consistent. Treat everyone with
respect that your are entitled to. Involve
the employees in decision making. Solicit
suggestions on training, policies and
equipm ent. When more emphasis is
placed on involving the employees in
everyday operations, many times solu­
tions are reached and problems get taken
care of much more easily.
•
A well trained, interested employee
with the proper training and education is
a good reflection upon, not only your golf
course, but also, the public will see a pro­
fessional and dedicated individual which
is a reflection upon the whole golf course
industry.

Weed-Gobbling Fish
To Be Stocked in Ponds
THE NEW YORK TIMES, SUNDAY MARCH 20, 1988

by CAROLYN BATTISTA

This year, for the first time, a fish
known as the Amur, or grass carp, will be
permitted in some Connecticut ponds.
Some states ban the Amur. Connecti­
cut was among them until the General
Assembly’s Regulation Review Commit­
tee adopted new rules, effective at the
beginning of this year, under which pri­
vately owned, screened ponds of five
acres or less could be stocked with triploid, or sterile, grass carp. Some ponds
have already been illegally stocked with
the fish, and the Department of Envir­
onm ental Protection is investigating
those.
A supporter of Amur stocking is State
Senator George L. Gunther, a Republi­
can from Stratford who is co-chairman of
the review committee. Dr. Gunther, a
physician and an amateur breeder of trop­
ical fish, said the use of Amur in a weedy
pond was preferable to spending thou­
sands of dollars on chemicals that could
threaten the environment. He said proper
stocking of grass carp would not harm
other species.
“You’ve got to balance the fish with the
area you want done,” Dr. Gunther said.
“You’ve got to know what you’re doing.”
State biologists say that may not be a
good idea. “Amur are plant-eating fish,
but the problem with such creatures is
that plants play an important part in the
environment,” said one biologist, James
Moulton, who is an assistant director for
inland fisheries at the environmental
department’s division of fisheries. “If you
have a creature that totally eats them up,
you have a poor environment.”
He added: “Plants have a purpose.
They provide food for ducks and fish and
habitat for invertebrates that are part of
the food chain.”
Under the new regulations, people will
apply for permits and environmental
department representatives will inspect
their ponds. “We’ll give people informa­
tion as to the environmental effects,” Mr.

Moulton said. He added that the pond
will have to be screened, to keep the fish
in, and that only triploid, or sterile, Amur
will be perrmitted. “Their impact will be
only on the place where they’re put,” he
said.
The president of the Connecticut Asso­
ciation of Golf Course Superintendents,
Robert Chalifour, said, “I know some
people would be glad to have the fish.”
Mr. Chalifour, who lives in Groton, said
that many golf course ponds provide
water for irrigation, and that Amur could
help keep weeds and algae from clogging
pumps, strainers and sprinkler heads.
Some pond owners are apparently
already glad to have Amur. “There have
been unpermitted importations,” said
Mr. Moulton, most of them in the west­
ern part of the state.
“We are pursuing the matter. We have
notified the people involved that we know
about the situation, and we’ll meet with
then to resolve it.”
To resolve, he said, means to eliminate
of the Amur. “Our purpose is to get rid of
the fish,” he said, adding that if people did
not cooperate, fines and jail terms were
possible. However, he added that people
involved could apply for permits to
legally stock the fish.
Connecticut will move slowly, accord­
ing to the environmental department’s
director of fisheries, Robert A. Jones.
“The Amur is a nonchemical answer to a
problem, which people like,” Mr. Jones
said. But, he said: “The Amur is an exotic
fish, with unknown ramifications. We are
conservative when it comes to exotic spe­
cies. What we’re trying to do is allow the
fish in very restricted situations, to see
what they do and we what we’ll do.”
Applications for permits to import and
possess triploid grass carp are available
from the D.E.P. Bureau of Fisheries,
Room 225, State Office Building, Hart­
ford, Conn. 06106. There is no charge for
the permit.

GCSAA And PGA
“Follow Through”
Together
The Golf Course Superintendents Asso­
ciation of America (GCSAA) and the
Professional Golfers’ Association of Am­
erica (PGA) are embarking on a new
effort to encourage golfers to “follow
through.”
“After You Follow Through, Don’t
Forget To Follow Through” is the theme
of a campaign designed to remind golfers
to repair ballmarks, rake bunkers and
replace divots. The campaign is being
launched with the publication of a 17 by
22 inch four-color poster featuring golf
professional Tom Watson.
“Every member of each organization
will receive the poster in the coming
weeks,” said John A. Segui, CGCS, pres­
ident of GCSAA. “That’s more than
25,000 posters throughout the country.”
Jim Awtrey, executive director of the
PGA, said: “Today’s golfer must under­
stand his responsibility to help maintain
the conditions on the course. Simple
things like replacing divots can make a
great difference in the overall appearance
of a course, in the cost of its maintenance
and ultimately in the cost of the game ot
the golfer.”
PGA President J.R. Carpenter said:
“We’re pleased to participate in this joint
effort between our two organizations.
Both organizations have the best interest
of the game at heart.”
The poster campaign will be supported
by four-color ads that will appear in var­
ious golf publications.
“This is the first of what I feel will be
many joint projects involving our two
organizations and directed at today’s
golfing public,” said John M. Schilling,
executive director of GCSAA. “We’re
very appreciative to Tom Watson for con­
tributing his time to this campaign as
well.”
