THE METGCSA HONORS
DR. RALPH ENGEL
Rutgers University Professor Emeritus receives the
1989 John Reid Lifetime Achievement Award
When the noted 18th century philoso­
pher, Alexandre de Talleyrand-Perigord, wrote that "the reputation of a
man is like his shadow, gigantic
when it precedes him," he could have
had Dr. Ralph E. Engel in mind.
"In bestowing our coveted John
Reid Lifetime Achievement Award to
Dr. Engel, we not only pay deserved
tribute to this distinguished, worldrenowned turfgrass specialist, we are,
in essence, honoring every single
member of this association as well as
every student who ever schooled
under him. He's that deserving,"
says Bob Alonzi, superintendent of
Winged Foot Golf Club and past
president of the MetGCSA.
Bob presented the 1989 Reid
Award to the noted Rutgers Univer­
sity professor emeritus, lecturer, and
author before some 200 members and
guests during the MetGCSA Invita­
tional at Burning Tree Country Club.
Dr. Engel, whose turfgrass re­
search and teaching have gained
universal recognition, is the fourth
recipient of the Reid Award. Previ­
ous winners are Guido Cribari,
retired executive sports editor with
the Gannett-Westchester Newspa­
pers, Alexander Radko, retired head
of the Greens Section of the United
States Golf Association, and noted
professional golfer and TV golf
analyst Ken Venturi, the 1964 U.S.
Open golf champion.

"I cannot tell you what
an impact Dr. Engel has
had on my life and, I'm
certain, the lives of hun­
dreds of superintendents
and former students," says
Bob.

METGCSA SOCIAL EVENTS: MORE
THAN JUST FUN AND GAMES
For the many members who attended
the recent family picnic at the
Woodway Beach Club, we owe a
special thanks to Jeff Scott, chairman
of our Social Committee, and to the
thoughtful wives of the Family Rela­
tions Committee who gave their time
generously to put on as good a picnic
as we've ever had. You can also be
sure that they'll show you a terrific
time during the upcoming evening
cruise down the East River to Man­
hattan and the Statue of Liberty.
These types of activities, including
the Christmas Party, monthly golf
outings, and even friendly games
with your favorite foursome may
look like just plain old fun, but if you
listen in on superintendents' conver­
sations, you're bound to hear more
than a few discussions about the
latest happenings on their golf

courses (much to the dismay of many
superintendents' wives).
And it's this give and take of informa­
tion among superintendents at social
events that's a significant and valuable
part of being a member of the MetGCSA.
But more than that, this constant dis­
semination of trade secrets helps to
make us all better superintendents.
If you haven't been attending our
social events because you think they're
not educational or that you can't afford
them, think again. For the reasons I just
mentioned, you should treat the costs of
these events as a business expense—paid
by your employer. And who knows,
you might even pick up a tip that will
help with a persistent problem on your
golf course.
Hope to see you on the cruise.

TRACTOR ROLLOVERS: A POTENTIAL HAZARD ON YOUR GOLF
COURSE?
On farms across the country, reports The Wall Street Journal, tractor rollover is the
number one killer. In 1987 alone, 341 people died in rollovers, says Arnold
Skromme, a 72-year-old retired agriculture engineer in Moline, IL, who has been
waging a solo crusade against farm accidents.
Though fatal tractor accidents are far more common on farms than on golf
courses, they can happen, particularly if your machines are not equipped with
up-to-date roll bars and other protective devices. This past winter, Mike Reeb,
superintendent of Country Club of New Canaan, had a close call on his course.
A crew member going up an incline, with the front-end loader raised and filled
with material, toppled over and landed on the roof.
"Fortunately, the tractor was equipped with a ROPS—a rollover protection
system," says Mike. "It prevented the roof from collapsing and crushing him—
he had only a few broken ribs—and it also prevented further damage from being
done to the equipment. Without the ROPS, the tractor probably would have
kept on rolling," he says.
Tractor manufacturers have been offering the option of rollover safeguards
since the late 1960s. But because tractors are often replaced slowly, many still
lack the devices. If you own an older tractor, retrofitting it with these life-saving
devices may be worthy of consideration...serious consideration.

GOLF COURSES CLEARED AS
GROUND WATER POLLUTERS
A three-year research project con­
ducted by Penn State turf scientist
Tom Watschke confirms what many
superintendents already believe: that
turf chemicals have little to no effect
on our ground water and streams.
Here, in brief, is the Turf magazine
report on Watschke's methodology
and conclusions after extensive tests
with eight nutrients and pesticides.

sium; Pendimethalin; 2 ,4-D; 2 ,4-DP;
Dicamba; and Chlorpyrifos.

The Results
Final results were compared with U.S.
drinking water standards. In the
majority of cases, the chemicals were
either not detected at all, or the levels
were lower than the drinking water
standard. Even those few over the
limit were "just barely over," notes
Watschke. And he emphasizes that the
samples were taken essentially at the
curb side, not from drinking water
sources. Obviously, he says, consider­

Even when collected at curb side.
In short, Watschke concluded:
1. Runoff of pesticides and fertilizer
on dense, high-quality turfgrass
stands is "insignificant." So is any
movement of chemicals beyond the
root zones—even when six inches of
irrigation are applied per hour.
2. Good turf actually promotes degra­
dation and utilization of turf chemi­
cals by aiding infiltration and thus in­
creasing biological interactions in the
soil.

pressures, reports Industry Week.
Another finding worth noting: Golf is
the number one sport among senior-level
execs—by a long shot. A full 82 percent
play golf, followed by tennis (39 percent)
and softball/baseball (39 percent). So it
looks like golf—and superintendents—
are here to stay.

3. Place the washed plants in a con­

4. Observe the roots with a hand lens.
The infected roots will show a few
dark strands of fungal mycelia grow­
ing along the surface of the roots,
crowns, and stems.
If a field test indicates that patch
disease is present, you can then send
the sample to a state or university
extension plant pathologist for labora­
tory analysis and, ultimately, identifi­
cation of the exact variety of patch
disease that’s attacking your turf.
Though a diagnosis may not benefit
you this year, it’s vital in helping you
choose a fungicide that’ll offer effec­
tive control next season for the par­
ticular patch disease you’re battling.
As many turfgrass pathologists
insist—and as we mentioned in our
March/April article on controlling
patch disease—you have to get the
disease before it gets your turf. That
means applying fungicides well before
the symtoms appear—preferably early
spring.

July 1989

Bonnie Briar Country Club in
Larchmont, NY, was the site of the
July 11 MetGCSA meeting. Mike Me­
donis, host superintendent, has been
at Bonnie Briar since 1987.
Though one of Mike's first jobs as
a teenager was working on a golf
course, back then, he was more
interested in the golfing privileges
than in learning the ropes of golf
course management.
A dedicated—and skilled—golfer,
Mike won a golf scholarship to Michi­
gan State University, where, after
spending some time as a therapeutic
recreation major, he decided to
pursue a degree in turf management.
"Although this wasn't my first career
choice," says Mike, "I thought it
would be a great way to stay in­
volved with golf."
After graduating in 1983, Mike
accepted an assistant's position at
Westchester Country Club. Then
four years later, he moved on to
Bonnie Briar as superintendent.
There, he's initiated triplex fairway
mowing and a bunker renovation
program.
Mike admits that playing a round
of golf now and then is still an aspect
of the job he enjoys, but probably just
as important to him is working
outdoors.
When asked, Mike readily shares
the philosophy that has guided his
career: Hard work, patience, and
honesty. But equally important to
running a smooth operation, he says,
is good communication with the
membership and crew.
Mike lives in Pleasantville, NY,
with his wife, Mary, and their new­
born son, Kevin Michael. Mary is
currently an assistant superintendent
at Westchester, where she and Mike
first met.
