BRUNO VADALA COLLECTS
DESERVED HONORS
Metropolis Country Club superintendent is awarded
the
1989Sherwood A. Moore Award
The Metropolis Country Club—
which, a year ago, honored Superin­
tendent Bruno Vadala for his 40
years of devoted service*—isn't the
only one to recognize the magnitude
of Bruno's contributions. At the
September 28 MetGCSA meeting at
his very own club, the Met body
awarded Bruno with the prestigious
Sherwood A. Moore Award—an
honor reserved for individuals who
have "advanced the professional
image, status, and reputation of the
golf course superintendent."
In its third year, the award is
named for legendary pioneer in turf
management Sherwood A. Moore,
who happens to be one of the few
superintendents to have served as
president of three separate turf
bodies: the Metropolitan, New
Jersey, and National golf course
superintendent associations.
Because of his long-time associa­
tion with and respect for Bruno,
Sherwood, himself, presented the
award, apologizing to last year's
"SAM" recipient, Ted Horton, for
taking away the honor. "Through
my association with Bruno some 30
years," said Sherwood in presenting
the award, "I know of no one more
deserving of this honor."

dent of the MetGCSA, Bruno has

President's Message

REFLECTING ON A PRODUCTIVE
TWO YEARS...
With

aspecial thanks to all who made it possible

The MetGCSA is an association that
has thrived solely because many of its
members are willing to volunteer
their time to serve as directors or
committee members. If you consider
that we're all involved in demanding,
time-consuming professions, you
have to appreciate even more the
efforts of these individuals dedicated
to performing the myriad tasks
necessary to perpetuate our associa­
tion—and its many activities.
As I approach the end of my term
as president, I would like to sincerely
thank those of you who have served
the association these past two years,
whether it was as a director, commit­
tee member, or in another capacity.
Though it was my job to act as
official guide, adviser, and cheer­
leader of the board's efforts, I cannot
accept a lot of credit for the current
healthy state of the MetGCSA. It's
really through your efforts that the
association has continued to grow
and successfully pursue its desig­
nated purpose.
What follows is a brief synopsis of
our accomplishments and the current
status of the MetGCSA:
■ Membership activity has been
brisk and has maintained record
levels during the past few years.
■ Participation at our well-run
monthly golf tournaments and
meetings is at an all-time high.
■ The Tee to Green looks as good as
ever with its new format and many
interesting articles, thanks in large
part to our new managing editor,
Pandora Wojick.
■ Our varied social events have been
quite popular with participation at
our near-highest levels.
■ The scholarship awards process
has been refined and improved. It's
now a more objective, equitable
procedure we can all be proud of.
■ We are supporting research

projects pertinent to area superinten­
dents to the tune of roughly $9,000 per
year. This will help guarantee a steady
flow of new information, which, in
turn, will enable us to do our jobs
better.
■ Our two most significant and
meaningful awards, the John Reid
Lifetime Achievement Award and the
Sherwood A. Moore Award, continue
to gain prominence and prestige.
■ We offer an abundance of quality
educational opportunities through our
monthly meetings, the winter seminar,
and events connected with GCSAA,
NYSTA, NJTA, and various local
universities.
■ The professional image and respect
for golf course superintendents in the
New York Metropolitan area has
continued to grow.
I'd also like to say how fortunate
I've been to have served with the help
of our very capable and pleasant
executive secretary, Jan Russo. With
her computer at hand, Jan does an
excellent job of maintaining our
financial records and billing proce­
dures, as well as printing and mailing
all of our association correspondence.
I would like to thank, as well, the
many members who have made our
association events a success through
their unprecedented attendance during
the past two years. It's also encourag­
ing to see a large number of very
qualified, eager individuals waiting for
their opportunity to serve on the Board
of Directors. With this depth of talent,
the future of our assocation will
certainly be in good hands.
I'm very proud to have served as
your president and have found the
experience to be enjoyable and enrich­
ing. Thanks for the opportunity to help
out and give something back to the
profession that has been so good to me.

Ray Beaudry Hosts October Green
Chairman Meeting

O

n October 16, Ray Beaudry, superintendent at the Patterson Club in
Fairfield, CT, hosted the MetGCSA Green Chairman Meeting.

Ray has worked at the Patterson Club for 13 years, moving quickly
through the ranks from laborer to assistant to superintendent.
But it wasn't until he'd spent four years in the tree care business that he
embarked on his career in golf course management. "A friend of mine who
worked on golf carts told me about the opening at Patterson. They were
looking for someone they could train as an assistant," Ray recalls.
Seeing this as a chance for advancement, Ray hopped on the opportunity.
Once on the job, he enrolled in the UMass Winter Program and, just two-and-ahalf years later, took over as the Patterson Club's superintendent.
Ray credits his rapid climb to "being at the right place at the right time" but
readily admits that hard work, dedication, and good communication are key
ingredients to career success.
Like many superintendents, Ray enjoys working outside and feels the change
that each year brings keeps the job challenging. "After 13 years," says Ray,
"there's only one thing I'd like to change about my job: I'd like to have about
20,000 fewer rounds a year." Patterson apparently has a very active member­
ship. The course gets 38,000 to 40,000 rounds of golf per year—almost unheard
of for a private course.
When he's not dodging play on the course, you might find Ray on the
racquetball court with Earl Millett (superintendent, Ridgeway Country Club,
White Plains, NY) or Scott Schukraft (superintendent, Rolling Hills Country
Club, Wilton, CT). Ray's been a racquetball enthusiast for about seven years.
"Earl and Scott have about 10 years on me, and I've got about 50 pounds on
them," jokes Ray, who claims Earl and Scott offer stiff competition.
Ray and his wife, Karen, live in Danbury, CT, with Christie, 18, Stacey, 14,
and Ryan, who's 3 years old.

Research Brief

NEW KEY TO GRUB CONTROL?
Dr. Patricia Vittum of the University of Massachusetts experi­
ments with promising new method for insecticide applications—
and grub control
If your fight against grubs sometimes seems like a losing battle, it's
probably because the insecticides you're applying aren't penetrating the
thatch layer in your turf. "Materials like chlorpyrifos (Dursban) are
tied up very rapidly in the thatch," explains Dr. Patricia J. Vittum of
the University of Massachusetts, "and they often never reach the
grubs."
Vittum and others have been experimenting with methods for apply­
ing materials to established turf that would maximize soil insect
control. Dr. Pat Cobb of Auburn University in Alabama, MS, for
instance, has looked at high-pressure equipment for mole cricket control
and found that half the labeled rate of some materials, applied at high
pressure (2,000 psi), worked as well or better than the full labeled rate
applied at conventional pressure.
Last fall, Dr. Harry Niemczyk of
Ohio State University experimented
not only with high-pressure applica­
tions but also with a piece of equip­
ment that slices the turf and then
places insecticide inside the slice.
Most recently, Dr. Patricia Vittum
studied the effect of high-pressure in­
jection of two materials—isazophos
(Triumph) and Dursban—on grub
control. What follows is Vittum's
detailed account of four small-scale
trials she conducted this past May.
The Methodology
The high-pressure injection equip­
ment I used for the trials was de­
signed and built specifically for
research purposes by the Cross
Equipment Company in Albany, GA.
It has four separate 15-gallon tanks, a
four-foot-wide boom for highpressure injection with four-inch
spacing on the nozzles, and a fourfoot conventional boom.
We made the high-pressure appli­
cations at 1,600 psi and 106 gallons
per acre. The conventional applica­
tions went on at 28 psi and 37 gallons
per acre.
We treated four separate areas of
rough, each consisting of Kentucky
bluegrass, annual bluegrass, white
clover—and at least a one-inch thatch
layer, which is not unusual in North­
eastern roughs. Each plot was 10 feet
by 10 feet, so after the machine had

made two passes through the plot, the
outermost one foot on each side was left
untreated.
Plots were laid out in two long rows,
separated by about 20 feet, and each set
of treatments was repeated four times.
When it came time to examine the plots,
we took 3 one-foot-by-one-foot samples
from each plot. That meant we had 12
observations per treatment.
We used Triumph and Dursban in
this test because I had been told that the
equipment was able to handle only
emulsifiable concentrates. I've learned
since then that the machine probably
can handle flowable formulations, so
we'll try to expand our trials in the near
future. In two of the tests, we looked at
only Triumph; in the other two we
compared Triumph with Dursban.
Triumph Triumphs' Under High
Pressure
In both tests where we looked at only
Triumph, the 1.0- and 0.5-lb.-per-acre
rate, applied with high pressure,
worked as well or better than the 2.0-lb.per-acre rate applied conventionally.
Though not intentional, in one of
these tests, the plots weren't watered in
for 48 hours. You see, researchers play
the same form of Russian roulette as
golf course superintendents. Although
the course's irrigation system was down
that day, the sky was so overcast, we
were sure it would open up any minute.
Unfortunately, the rains didn't come

until two days later.
Interestingly, however, the highpressure applications in that test gave
us 95 percent control at both 2.0 and
1.0 lbs. per acre and 88 percent
control at 0.5 lbs. per acre—even
though the insecticide hadn't been
watered in. Conventional-pressure
applications gave us zero control at
2.0 lbs. per acre and 3 percent control
at 1.0 lb. per acre.
While these tests are still preliminary,
the results suggest that the high-pressure
application technique may give the super­
intendent more flexibility in watering in
insecticides for grub control
The other Triumph test showed
similar levels of performance at high
pressure and considerably improved
performance at conventional pres­
sure. High-pressure applications
gave 93 percent control at 2.0 lbs. per
acre, 94 percent control at 1.0 lb. per
acre, and 87 percent control at 0.5 lbs.
per acre. Conventional applications
yielded 94 percent control at 2.0 lbs.
per acre and 55 percent control at 1.0
lb. per acre.

Another supposition: High-pressure
applications of Triumph may enable you
to reduce application rates without
sacrificing effectiveness.
High-Pressure Applications Do
Little for Dursban
Dursban didn't fare as well in our
trails. Three Dursban applications
were made in each of two tests, and
even the high rate—4.0 lbs. per acre—
failed to provide as much as 50
percent control.
Dursban has never been particu­
larly effective for grub control in turf
with any measurable thatch because
the material is rapidly and com­
pletely tied up in the thatch layer.
Apparently, even the high-pressure
injection couldn’t drive Dursban
through the thatch deep enough to
come in contact with the grubs.
Final Notes
I've purchased my own high-pres­
sure-injection equipment so that I can
expand these studies. One concern I
had was the effect of high pressure on
cool-season grasses, but one superin­

tendent insisted we make a pass over
one of his greens, and there was no vis­
ible damage during the following sev­
eral weeks. So we’re going to expand
our studies to make fairwaywide appli­
cations. We might even get adventur­
ous and experiment with diazinon.
I'd like to commend Ron Milenski of
The International Golf Club in Bolton,
MA, and Don Maroni of Wachusett
Country Club in West Boylson, MA, for
allowing me to experiment with this
equipment on their golf courses.
Thanks to them, we may find that highpressure injection offers a valuable new
alternative for grub control.
NOTE: Several state regulatory
agencies have been asked to consider
label expansions for high-pressure
injection. But until we receive full
clearance, you should consider highpressure injection as only an experimen­
tal procedure. Hopefully, the potential
for reducing application rates will make
it attractive to regulatory specialists,
and they will review label revisions
with favor.

The brainchild of horticulturalist

in Cornell’s 67-acre arboretum. It’s a
nontoxic, easy-to-make pink paint
that you can use to deface— and
protect— your trees through the
holidays.
Left alone, Ugly Mix will disappear
with the elem ents in a couple of
months. But if you’re in a hurry, you
can always wash the mix off with a
hose.
Here’s the recipe: To make enough
pink Ugly Mix for several trees, com­
bine two gallons of warm tap water,
20 ounces of hydrated lime, four
ounces of W ilt-pruf (plant conditioner
available from gardening stores), and
two ounces of red food coloring.
Actually, any color will do, so long as
it’s not too close to the trees’ natural
green or blue hue. Orange is another
good ugly one. The idea, of course,
is to make the tree look too sick to
steal.
Apply your Ugly Mix with a brush
or sprayer when the weather is dry

MANY THANKS
With the 50/50 Raffle held at our
September meeting, the MetGCSA
was able to contribute over $600 to
the trust fund set up for Mark Loper’s
two nieces. A special thanks to all
who contributed.

It takes about a half-hour to dry, so
it’ll wash right off if it’s already
raining or snowing. And if it’s too
cold, the mix will freeze as soon as
it’s applied to the tree and then fall
off when the tem perature rises.
The inventor of Ugly Mix has only
one warning: Don’t wait too long.
Last year, the university dallied until
the first week of December and lost
hundreds of dollars in trees to
thieves.
