VOLUME 20, NUMBER 2 • MARCH/APRIL 1990 PUBLISHED BY THE METROPOLITAN GOLF COURSE SUPERINTENDENT ASSOCIATION pedal Feature Management Reminders for the Too-Busy-to-Be-Bothered Easy-to-implement tactics for spurring your crew on through your busy season—and beyond The first commandment of promoting some basic—but essential—reminders top-notch work from your crew is to that'll help you inspire your crew to have clear performance goals for each strive for and maintain high levels of worker; everybody should know performance through the golf season— exactly what is expected of them. The and every day after, second commandment: Recognize and reward positive behavior. R em in d er #1: State expectations. These principles sound obvious, Aim high. Expect a lot from people, even simplistic. But what often haphold them accountable, and above all, pens is that superintendents become so give them regular and honest feedback preoccupied with getting through each on their performance—always detailing day's pressures and problems— what they've done well and, when particularly during the golf season— necessary, what they could have done that they lose sight of the small things better. (See Reminders #4 and #5.) they should be doing to promote positive behavior in their workers. R em in d er #2: A ttach m ean in g to To see you through this manageevery ta sk you assign, ment dilemma, we've put together When assigning a task—large or small—don't leave your workers high and dry without a firm grip on why the job needs to be done, why he or she has been chosen to do it, or what its value is to you or the golf course. Consider, for example, how differ­ ently a worker might react to these two statements: 1. "Jack, I want you to repair the sprinkler heads on the greens 2,4, and 7. I need to have it done by Wednesday. Thanks." 2. "Jack, we'll be spraying on Thurs­ day, and the material needs to be watered in. That means we've got to get those sprinkler heads on greens 2, 4, and 7 working before then. And I'd like you to do the job. You're the one guy I know I can count on to repair those heads properly and on time. Do you see any problem in having the job done by the end of the day on Wednesday?" By assigning work the way the superintendent has in statement 2— With the W hat and W h y (continued on page 4) p | resident's Message Also in This Issue A New Committee, A Revived Event What a wonderful conference we had this past February in Orlando. Aside from the near-perfect weather, hotels, and new convention center, the conference gave us all the opportunity to get acquainted with some exciting new golf course maintenance products and equipment, not to mention management techniques. But just as important, the convention allowed us to touch base with colleagues across the country—and ocean—to discuss what they've been doing in their operations and associations to meet the increasingly complex challenges facing today's golf course professionals. Our own association is already in the process of making one change in re­ sponse to these new challenges. With GCSAA guidance, we'll be forming a Government Relations Committee. Chaired by Joe Alonzi, superintendent of Fenway Golf Club, the committee's express purpose will be to watchdog and re­ spond to environmental issues and pending legislation affecting (continued on page 2) | Special Events, Tournaments, and Two Meeting Schedule Updates I John Cartone Hosts First Golf Meeting of the Year | Rutgers Accepting Applications...

John Carlone Hosts First MetGCSA Golf Meeting of the Year MetGCSA members, dust off your clubs. April 26, you'll be visiting the Middle Bay Country Club in Oceanside, LI, for the first golf meeting of the year. Host superintendent John Carlone has been with Middle Bay since November 1985. During his nearly three-and-a-half year tenure, he's had the opportunity to oversee a $1 2 million renovation program. Among the projects he's undertaken are rebuilding the courses 64 bunkers, build­ ing several new tees, enlarging two existing ponds and constructing a new pond, which involved installing 700 feet of new bulkheads. But these aren't the only changes the club has seen over the years. Built in the '40s, the A.H. Tull-designed course was originally known as Oceanside Country Club. In the late '60s, the club sold some of its prop­ erty, including a few of its golf holes, to a neighboring school. They then re­ designed the course, building two new holes to replace the ones that were lost. At the same time, they con­ structed a clubhouse and changed the name from Oceanside to Middle Bay. John came to Middle Bay from The Stanwich Club, where he worked as assistant to Scott Niven for two years. But his experience in golf course management doesn't stop there. John graduated from the University of Rhode Island in 1983 with a degree in Turf Management. During summer breaks from 1979 to 1981, John worked at Green Valley, a public course near his hometown in Port Smith, RI. In 1982, he did his summer placement under Ted Horton, then superintendent of Westchester Country Club. John's 17-year interest in golf—he started playing at 11—combined with a green thumb he acquired in the green­ houses of his father's florist business, eventually led him to pursue a career in golf course management. He's been an active member of the MetGCSA, serving on the Board of Di­ rectors since 1986—first as a Class B representative, then chairman of the Social and Welfare Committee, and currently chairman of the Education Committee. Aside from ice hockey, John's hobbies are job related. In his spare time, he enjoys a good round of golf and, most recently, experimenting with his new computer at work. John and his wife, Leslie, live near the club in Baldwin, NY, and are expecting their first child this July.

Reminder #3: Establish a check­ point system for monitoring major projects. Think back for a moment on the number of times you've given an assignment that wasn't completed on time or that fell short of your expec­ tations. If you're at all like the super­ intendents we talked to, the root cause of the foul-up probably had more to do with the way you moni­ tored the assignment than with the innate capabilities of the worker assigned to the project. Many superintendents trip up during the busy season when there are more projects going on than there's time to monitor. The solu­ tion? Map out a checkpoint schedule with the employee in charge of the project. Specify: ■ what you'll want to look at—the stone placement in a walk before the cement is laid in, the arrangement of the first row of shrubs in a planting bed, the spray pattern on the first green treated ■ time and frequency of checkpoints —every morning, every hour, every other day ■ method of monitoring—a spot check at the work site, a verbal update by the employee in charge, a written report Establishing a schedule of check­ points puts the burden on the em­ ployee—rather than on you—to initiate status updates and briefings. So you're more apt to catch variances before they develop into time-con­ suming, costly problems. Another safeguard against disas­ ter: Chart major projects on a sched­ ule board so you'll have an instant picture of their status. Reminder #4: Give credit where credit is due. Employees who feel you recognize and value their work are far more likely to continue performing at or above stan­ dards. So make a point of including positive feedback in your managerial repertoire, and follow these steps when you give it: 1. Cite a specific example. To your workers, a vague, off-hand remark such as "Way to go" or Nice work" will be about as meaningful—and motivating— as "Have a nice day." They need to know exactly what they did that pleased you and what specific behavior you value highly. 2. Explain how the behavior benefited you, the operation, and/or the golf course. Nam­ ing the positive effects that someone's performance has had on the work place makes it clear that the person's efforts can and do make a difference. Here's an example of proper positive feedback "I really appreciate your taking the initiative to get the shop organized, Bill. Now, none of us will have to waste valuable time hunting around for the tools we need to get a job done. It'll also show green com­ mittee members who drop by that we run a well-organized and efficient operation." Reminder #5: When perfor­ mance isn't up to snuff, give prompt corrective feedback. Without immediate feedback, workers will assume their work is fine—or that you don't care if it isn't—and bad habits will only get worse. To make your corrective feedback effective, it's important that you present it as an opportunity for improvement—not a personal attack. Just as critical, how­ ever, is that your feedback be detailed and specific. If you generalize in an effort to soften the blow, confusion may be the only result. Another pointer: Limit your com­ ments to job-related behavior that can be changed rather than criticizing people for lack of inborn traits or abilities. Using these steps will help your efforts: 1. Statements. Focus first on the as­ pects of a person's performance that you like. This increases the chance that your employee will accept your concerns, and it reinforces any desir- U je tte rB a g A Good-bye to Good Friends Last year I left Hawthorne Brothers Tree Service and moved down here to Hilton Head. Unfortunately, events happened quickly for me last spring, and I never got to say good-bye to my many friends in the MetGCSA. I got to know many of you as friends through a business environment. I worked and played with most of you. My memories of taking care of trees on your golf courses and the Met meetings and golf events will always be with me. I learned a lot about golf courses and hope that I helped you learn about trees. Things are going well down here on Hilton Head. I call my new company Low Country Tree Care, Inc. I have several crews, two bucket trucks, and the rest of the equipment needed. By spring, I'll be in my new maintenance garage and offices. We joined Oyster Reef Golf Club and are building a new house along the 18th fairway of the course. It's tough playing golf year-round—even tougher is making money with my 12 handicap. Hopefully, I'll be able to continue to be a member of the MetGCSA. Perhaps there is a Southern membership classification. I wish you all well in the future. If you come to Hilton Head, stop by or call. My number is 803-681-TREE. GARY R. MULLANE Low Country Tree Care, Inc. able behavior that exists. Be specific about the merits. Saying something as general as 'T h is is really good" doesn't demonstrate what you'd like the person to continue doing. 2. Specify your concerns. Again, be specific in your feedback. Pinpoint exactly what was wrong with the performance, how and where employ­ ees deviated from standards, and why certain behavior isn't acceptable. TIP: When making the transition from your merit statement, avoid using "but" or "however." These words have negative connotations and can make merit citations seem insincere. 3. Express confidence in the employee's ability to do the work correctly. It's a funny thing; when employees feel you believe in their abilities, they're apt to prove you right. But this step does more than just show employees that you believe in them, it also sees that they walk away from the feed­ back session without an ounce of animosity toward you. Here's an example of good corrective feedback "Susan, I know you worked "Wouldn't it have been better to...?" often spark a guilty, angry, or defen­ sive reaction. Alternately, questions that elicit an employee's thoughts on a subject such as, "How do you feel about having the crew...?" "What do you think we should do in the future to avoid the problem of...?" show employees that you value and trust their input, which in turn encourages them to take initia­ tive and responsibility for their actions.

Molly, as he was known in golf circles, spent 42 years as superintendent of the Round Hill Club in Greenwich, CT. Originally a sculptor in New York City, Molly was one of those to carve the lions that grace the entrance to the New York Public Library. When failing health caused him to put down his chisel and hammer and seek outdoor work, he moved to Greenwich. An employee of Round Hill Club since its inception, Molly was instrumental in the golf course's construction and, before its comple­ tion, became superintendent, a position he held until 1964 when he retired. Molly died December 20,1989 and is survived by a brother and sister and his wife, Grace, and daughter, Carolyn. For those who wish to send their condo­ lences, his wife and daughter's address is: 409 Riversville Rd., Greenwich, CT 06831. Donations may be sent to the Greenwich Boys and Girls Club, 4 Horseneck Lane, Greenwich, CT 06830. Births Nicholas Triner to Scott and Dana Niven, February 27,1990.
