Jim Fulwider Wins the 1990
Sherwood A. Moore Award
The highlight of the MetGCSA's an­
nual Green Chairman's tournament,
held at Tamarack Country Club, was
the presentation of the 1990 Sherwood
A. Moore Award. This year's recipi­
ent: James (Jim) R. Fulwider, former
superintendent of Century Country
Club in Purchase, NY, where he ruled
for almost 30 years before retiring in
1988. Succeeded by his son, James C.
Fulwider, Jim now divides his time
between consulting for the Arrowwood Management Corporation in
Purchase and the Tryall Resort in
Jamaica.
Pre-Superintendent Days
A native of Perkins, Oklahoma
(population 799 when he left), the
senior Fulwider holds a B.S. from
Oklahoma State University and a
Masters from Rutgers. This 5'7" giant
of turf management is an enigma,
with his deceptive demeanor, slow,
deliberate gait, and Okkie twang. His
style belies his towering talents and
accomplishments.
Before earning his degrees—and
launching into a successful career in
turf management—Jim had a "kind of
exciting hitch," as he puts it, in the
U.S. Navy. That "little hitch" was the
stuff of heroes and champions.
Fulwider flew some 25 missions as a
Navy pilot (full Lt.) aboard the U.S.
Navy aircraft carrier Hornet in the
South Pacific during World War II.
He served four years, winning four air

medals and the Distin­
guished Flying Cross,
en route.

Many others did it,"

Noise Pollution: Searching for
Solutions to a Pesky Problem
Just as all of us in the green industry were beginning to quiet public opposition
to pesticide use, w e're being faced with another environmental concern: noise
pollution. Golf courses, lawn- and tree-care companies, many of us in these in­
dustries are being called on the carpet for disturbing our "neighbors" with the
sound of our work.
A number of member superintendents have received noise pollution com­
plaints about their early m orning work—particularly on the weekends between
6 and 8 a.m.— when they're trying to ready the course for golfing members.

Unfortunately, this problem isn't
going to go away. So it's important
that we look for ways to keep noise
restrictions from inhibiting our ability
to successfully perform our golf
course duties. That's why I, along
with another association representa­
tive, will be joining others in the
green industry at a round table
discussion to explore ways to work
through public opposition. I'll keep
you up to date on the outcome of our
discussions. In the meantime, I feel
we could all help our cause by:
■ Abiding by local ordinances that
govern the hours in which we can
operate our equipment
■ Making our Green Committee—
and golfing members—aware of
noise restrictions that may slow the
progress of our work

■ Talking with homeowners bordering
the golf course to understand their con­
cerns—and to show them that their
concerns do matter
■ Sharing with our neighbors the
pressure that noise restrictions place on
the golf course—i.e., not being able to
complete our work before the course
opens to golfers
■ Rethinking maintenance practices; for
instance, instead of starting morning
mowing on green #1, which is close to a
neighbor's house, you might start on #5,
a green that's away from anyone's
property, and then work backward
These are small measures, but they
can help us make great strides in com­
bating public opposition to this and
other environmental issues.

Tee to Green Staff

Professional Turfgrass Field Day
Special Thanks to A ll Who Contributed to Its Success

As anyone who attended well knows, the September 18 Professional Turfgrass

Field Day was a tremendous success. We had 62 exhibitors (including our own
booth), nearly 500 registered attendees, and a beautiful day at a great facility: the
Westchester Country Qub in Rye, NY.
Bob Lippman of Westchester Turf Supply and his committee are to be con­
gratulated on a superbly run event. And Westchester Country Club Superinten­
dent Patty Knaggs and her crew should be commended for their willing partici­
pation and efforts in making the event a success.
We'd also like to thank the exhibitors whose participation and support made
it a field day worth remembering. We've listed each exhibitor, along with their
area of specialty and phone number, on a separate sheet, which we've inserted
in this issue of Tee to Green. Save it as a handy reference guide, and refer to it
the next time you're in search of a contractor or supplier. Maybe you'll be able
to show these people the same support they showed us during our field day.

Dave Arel Hosts Superintendent/
Green Chairman Tournament
Dave Arel hosted the successful
Superintendent/Green Chairman
Tournament held October 16 at Tama­
rack Country Club in Greenwich, CT.
Dave came to Tamarack three-anda-half years ago and, in that time, has
initiated numerous key maintenance
programs. Among them are a light­
weight fairway mowing program
with clipping removal to aid bentgrass development and a major tree
pruning program to enhance and
preserve the course's many beautiful,
mature trees. Right now, Dave also
has a bunker renovation program in
the works.
Dave got his start in the golf course
maintenance field quite by accident.
Born and raised in Manchester, NH,
the son of a career Air Force man,
Dave decided to follow in his father's
footsteps. After graduating high
school in 1975, he entered the Air

Force and served until 1979. During
that time, he had the opportunity to
work on the golf course at Pease Air
Force Base in Portsmouth, NH. He
enjoyed the experience so much that he
decided to pursue formal training in
turfgrass management.
Dave attended the University of
Massachusetts at Stockbridge and, after
graduating in 1981, accepted an assis­
tant superintendent's position at Sleepy
Hollow Country Club in Scarborough,
NY. He worked under Superintendent
Joe Camberato for four-and-a-half years
before moving to Tamarack in 1986.
Dave started there as an assistant and
then, a year later, assumed responsibil­
ity as superintendent.
Dave and his wife, Carol, have a 5year-old son, Keith, and live in
Greenwich, not far from the club.

Sherwood A. Moore Award

Jim R. Fulwider tells a story or two during
his Moore Award acceptance speech.

"You can't cut fairways too low," was
his maintenance philosophy decades
ago. "Low cutting," he maintained,
"made for better appearance, better
lies for golfers, and a stronger blade

of grass." Bentgrass, by the way, is his
personal favorite.
He was the first to cut tees with
greens mowers, and with the arrival of
the lightweight or Triplex mowers, his
low cutting practices became standard
procedure: Everybody began lowering
the blades. Lightweight mowers were
in; big, heavy tractors were out. Jim
showcased his cutting philosophy and
practices through the immaculate
conditions at Century.
He proudly acknowledges two men
for having influenced his successful
career: Dr. Ralph Engel at Rutgers
University and Alexander Radko of the
USGA Green Section, both of them
recognized with the MetGCSA's John
Reid Lifetime Achievement Award.
A six handicap golfer in his heyday,
Jim boasts a personal low of 73. That
was the year he won the Association
Championship at Bedford Golf &
Tennis in Bedford, NY. Jim is also

credited with cofounding the associa­
tion's Invitational Tournament along
with professional lighthorse Harry
Cooper, then of Metropolis.
Presenting the Sherwood A. Moore
Award to Jim was the previous year's
recipient, Bruno Vadala.
Now in its fourth year, the award is
named after the legendary Winged
Footer, Sherwood A. Moore, and re­
served for individuals who, like Jim,
have "advanced the professional
image, status, and reputation of the*
golf course superintendent."
James R. Fulwider, American war
hero, master turfman, husband,
father, and all-around great guy has
one piece of solid advice for col­
leagues and competitors alike: "The
key to success in any endeavor is
dedication. Without dedication, that
Golden Fleece may prove elusive."
