Volume 22, Number 8 • November/December 1992 Published by the M etropolitan G olf Course Superintendents Association President's Message Special Feature Updating GCSAA Bylaws What a Maintenance Facility Tour Won’t Teach You Will It Really Present a Window of Opportunity*? Two Superintendents Share Some of the Lessons Learned in Designing, Constructing —and Lobbying fo r—a New M aintenance Facility on Their Course A ew things are more important to a successful golf course maintenance opera­ tion than a well-designed and equipped maintenance facility. Yet few things are more difficult to win support for—much less execute—than replacing or modifying a sorely inadequate shop. Two member superintendents—Mike Mongon o f Areola Country Club in Paramus, N J, and Greg Wojick o f Greenwich Country Club in Greenwich, CT—have successfully completed building projects on their course. What they offer here are not the obvious pointers you can pick up from touring their maintenance facilities, but rather lessons you’re not likely to learn until you’re in the thick o f the process. Their intent: to save you time—and unnecessary steps—when trying to justify, design, and then build a maintenance facility on your course. great deal has been written and said about the GCSAA’s proposed bylaw changes to be voted on at the national meeting in Anaheim. President Bill Roberts considers these changes “ critical to the continued suc­ cess o f GCSAA.” And he makes a con­ vincing argument for the modifications in his article “A Window o f Opportu­ nity,” which appeared in the September issue o f G olf Course Management. Yet many o f the proposed changes concern me, and I’d like to talk about three in particular. Number one: allow­ ing the GCSAA Board o f Directors to set the dues rather than putting it out to vote at the annual meeting. Number two: Shifting voting procedures from a delegate-based structure to a “ one per­ son, one vote” system. And number three: Replacing the two-thirds vote required to implement bylaw changes to a simple majority. What troubles me most about these changes is that I feel, if passed, they will put more power in the hands o f GCSAA staff and the board and distance GCSAA members from the decision-making process. In the case o f the dues increases, pro­ ponents o f the change argue that we trust the board with 80 percent o f the association’s revenues, so why not trust them to determine dues increases. They feel that by waiting until the Annual Meeting to vote on (continued on page 2) F rely on a volunteer committee o f club members to make day-to-day decisions on the direction o f the project. salvaging your old facility—unless you’re Lesson #2: A sprinkler system—at least in proof-positive it’s the best way to go.

Well frankly, I feel if we relinquish this vote to the board, we’ll indirectly be giving up our say on what programs and business involvements are critical to our success and the success o f the association. In the past five years, GCSAA has managed to increase membership from 7,500 to 11,000 and revenues from $4 million to $10 million. Impressive numbers. But to do that the association’s staff has grown from 28 to 61, and now they’re proposing hiring field staff to the tune o f $460,000 per year. And guess what? A dues increase o f $40 to $50 a year will be necessary to fund the pro­ gram. D o you want the board to make this and other similar kinds o f decisions without your input? Then there’s the proposal to abandon the delegate vote. The argument here is that the one-person, one-vote system is more democratic and will generate more interest in the elections and in GCSAA issues. Sounds logical, but let’s face it, few members attend GCSAA annual meetings to cast a vote, and I ’m con­ vinced few more would bother to submit a mail-in ballot. At least now, our dele­ gate, Bob Alonzi, is able to carry 70 votes to the Annual Meeting. D o you really think 70 o f you would cast a vote— let alone attend the GCSAA Annual Meet­ ing—each year, when at our own Annual Meeting November 19 only 25 percent o f the membership turned out to vote in our Board o f Directors? Finally, allowing a majority rather than a two-thirds vote to institute bylaw changes is, to me, just another way to put more authority in the hands o f GCSAA staff and the board and less in the hands o f the membership. I f majority rules, it will be far easier to drive bylaw changes through that will distance the membership from the deci­ sion-making process. And before you know it, GCSAA staff, not the member­ ship, will be making all the major deci­ sions for the association. There’s no denying GCSAA has done a lot to raise the status o f the superin­ tendent, but couldn’t we continue in that direction without adding staff and implementing bylaw changes that pull control away from the membership— and drive up costs? A meeting was held December 9 with representatives from several other local associations to discuss the bylaw changes. After careful review, the con­ census was that GCSAA should redo these proposals and rethink our direction. GCSAA Past President Steve Cadenelli will be at our Winter Seminar Jan­ uary 6 to discuss the changes and give you the opportunity to voice your opinion and ask questions. I hope all o f you will attend that meeting and take some time to learn about the changes that can affect your future and the future o f GCSAA. I f you have any questions or comments, speak to me or to Bob, who, as our voting delegate, is well informed on the issues. And attend this year’s Annual Meeting January 30 at 8 a.m. in Anaheim. Your participation, after all, is “ critical to the continued success o f GCSAA.” TIM O ’N E IL L , CG CS President Boari af Directors President TIMOTHY O'NEILL, CGCS Country Club of Darien Vice President JOSEPH ALONZI, CGCS Westchester Country Club Secretary JOHN O'KEEFE, CGCS Preakness Hills Country Club Treasurer EARL MILLETT Ridgeway Country Club Past President LAWRENCE PAKKALA, CGCS Woodway Country Club JOHN CARLONE Middle Bay Country Club MATTHEW CEPLO Westchester Hills Golf Club WILLIAM HEINTZ Hampshire Country Club MICHAEL M0NG0N Areola Country Club TIMOTHY MOORE Knollwood Country Club JEFFREY S C O n, CGCS Apawamis Club STEVEN SWEET Westchester Country Club ALLAN TRETERA Turf Products Corp.

Work Smarts The Pros and Cons o f Protective Turf Covers A fter eight years with protective tu rf covers, Larry Pakkala o f Woodway Country Club in Darien, CT, offers a few cautions—and many encouraging words G eotextile covers have been in use now for the better part o f 10 years. And for most, the pros seem to far outweigh the cons. On the plus side, turf covers: • shield turf from severe cold and desiccation • promote faster green-up in the spring • extend the planting season for those who have to seed late in the fall or in the very early spring • protect greens from play that can result in winter injury On the downside, turf covers: • are labor intensive to install and remove • can cause serious disease problems if you fail to apply protective sprays before bedding the greens down for the winter I began using them at Woodway in 1984 on three problem greens—ones that are slow to green up in the spring and difficult to grow grass on during the season because o f root competition and severe shading from nearby oak trees. When I first took over at Woodway, these greens were sparse, and I ’d strug­ gle to get the grass to come in by June. The turf covers—along with a little root pruning—have helped tremendously, but a few problems did crop up, particu­ larly during the past few mild winters. Let me explain. As you know, covers work best when we have a cold winter with little fluctua­ tion in temperature and a good snow cover. But the conditions in January and February o f ’90 and ’91 got so mild that grass—and disease— began growing under the covers. I f I hadn’t picked them up to have a look, the outcome could have been truly disastrous. Normally, the worst you can expect is a little snow mold, so you spray for that. Notable Notes Field Day Notes M ore than 300 turf and landscape professionals attended the O cto­ ber 13 M etGCSA Professional Turfgrass Field Day at Westches­ ter Country Club to view the event’s special clinics, equipment demos, and numerous exhibitor booths. Special thanks to Field Day Commit­ tee Co-Chairmen A1 Tretera and Jeff Scott and the 16 other committee mem­ bers whose hard work made the day a success. They are: Joe Alonzi, Frank Buschini, Sean Cain, Will Hcintz, Tracey Holliday, Byron Johnson, Bob Lippman, Mike Maffei, Earl Millett, Tim O’Neill, Larry Pakkala, Bill Perry, Bill Ross, Fred Scheyhing, Steve Sweet, and Scott Tretera. We’d also like to thank Westchester Country Club for hosting the event and Dar Par Sales for supplying us with twoway radios for the day. Last, but not least, we’d like to thank the exhibitors whose participation made the field day possible. As we’ve done in the past, we’ve enclosed a list o f exhibi- tors in this issue with their area o f spe­ cialty and phone number.

In Memoriam We regret to announce the death o f John Callahan Sr. John was a long­ time commercial member and owner o f The Cardinals, Inc., in Unionville, CT. Last year, in fact, I made three applica­ tions for snow mold under my covers: one in late November, another in late January, and a third in late March. But guess what> I still had some disease. When I took the covers back in Jan­ uary and March, temperatures had been 4 5 ° to 5 0 ° F with a number o f days in the 60s. Then I realized it wasn’t snow mold we had brewing here, but some­ thing that looked a lot like Necrotic Ring Spot. This is typically a spring and fall disease that occurs when temperatures are 6 0 ° to 7 0 ° F. But during mild winters, like the ones we’ve had, I real­ ized it could easily reach those tempera­ tures under the geotextile covers. And sure enough, when I sent samples to be tested, my suspicions were confirmed. I had Necrotic Ring Spot on Poa Annua greens! And for the past two springs and falls, I ’ve had Necrotic Ring Spot on only the greens I cover. To take care o f the problem, I ’ve decided to treat my covered greens this winter for both snow mold and Necrotic Ring Spot. Here’s my plan: 1. Spray greens with Rubigan at 4 ounces per square foot. 2. Topdress heavily. 3. Fertilize with 1 pound nitrogen per 1,000 square feet. 4. Put down covers. 5. Monitor covered greens closely, and spray again—and mow—if needed. 6. Remove covers somewhere between March 31 and April 5. In the end, I feel turf covers’ unique heat-capturing and moisture-conserving ability offer far more benefits than drawbacks—particularly for problem greens like mine. My only word o f caution: Check under those covers at least once a month during the winter. By the time you read this article, it might be time to take a peek!

Iront pg. 1) What a Maintenance Facility Tour Won’t Teach You Lesson #3: Plan for the future. Before settling on the square footage o f your building, don’t forget to project future equipment purchases and storage or space needs. It’s better to start off with a little extra space than to invest a lot o f money in a facility you’ll soon outgrow. Our plans included heating addi­ tional work space and installing insu­ lated block at our present cold storage facility to enable us to expand our heated work space as needed. Lesson #4: Design in a buffer zone. Whether you call it a reception area, secretarial office, or computer room, it’s time we get away from having visitors enter through our maintenance facility’s equipment repair area—or direcdy into our office. At Areola, we have a reception area to the right, as you walk in the main entrance o f the maintenance building. It’s where we keep our files, and it’s equipped with a computer, printer, and phone system—a perfect setup for secretarial support. Lesson #5: D on’t automatically assume your current building site is the best site for your new building. It may be in your best interest, for instance, to build in an area that’s more accessible to the course or in one that’s farther away from neighboring homes so that you’ll comply with noise ordinances. At Areola, we opted to build on a new site for a couple o f reasons. First, our new location allows room for growth. And second, the club, guided by site evaluations, decided that the facility’s old location would be a more reasonable site for the construction o f a cart bam/employee dormitory. I Greg Wojick, CGCS, Greenwich Country Club, Greenwich, CT Lesson #1: Use environmental regulations to your advantage. An outdated shop or storage building is subject to the scrutiny o f environmental regulatory agencies, who can require sometimes costly m od­ ifications to bring the building up to code. Our facility at Greenwich was so outmoded that complying with existing The Areola Facility: Facts and Figures and future environmental regulations would have required much more than a Project Duration: October 1990 to July few low-cost quick fixes.

Lesson #3: There are few things more disruptive to a maintenance operation than building a new facility. Be pre­ pared, for instance, to periodically pull several staff members off the course to pinch-hit for a construction worker. In addition, if you accept responsibil­ ity, as I did, for managing the project, don’t underestimate the time it will take away from your golf course duties. During our nearly year-long project, almost one-third o f my time was spent overseeing the day-to-day operations. I was fortunate to have good support staff. I f you can’t say the same, it might be worth hiring extra help for the duration o f the project. The Greenwich Facility: Facts and Figures Project Duration: October 1991 to October 1992 Facility Specs: Two wood-frame buildings constructed on existing site. Building 1 is a two-story, 4,800square-foot facility with heating and air conditioning. On the lower floor, there’s a maintenance shop, equipment storage area, grinding room, fireproof oil/grease storage room, painting/ steam cleaning room, men’s and ladies’ restrooms with shower, laundry area, staff lounge with kitchen and lockers, offices for the superintendent, me­ chanic, and assistants, and a storage room. On the upper floor, there is 1,200 square feet o f additional storage. Building 2 is a one-story, 4,800square-foot cold storage structure for equipment, fertilizer, and seed with outside, as well as inside, loading platforms. Other features: Paved service yard with covered storage bins for sand, top­ soil, crushed stone, and other materials. Two gas pumps—one for diesel, the other for regular fuel. Washdown area with sump pit for collecting grass clip­ pings and in-ground separator tank. Cost: $900,000 Other Buildings Part of the Construction Project: A $1.1 million, 7,612-square- foot staff dormitory. Lesson #4: Lobby for a “ dream team.” The president o f our dub assembled a building committee o f members with expertise in the construction and finan­ cial industries who added value to all aspects o f the project—from conducting contractor negotiations to watchdogging the design and construction phases. Lesson #5: When it comes to hiring an architectural or general contracting firm, the low bid isn’t necessarily the best bid. Remember, these are the people who can make or break your project. To aid in the decision-making pro­ cess, we set up a matrix for each bidder that included the company’s Dun & Bradstreet ratings, cash on hand, years and type o f experience, and numerous other hiring criteria. When considering general contractors, for instance, we were particularly inter­ ested in the cash-on-hand category. After all, you wouldn’t want to endanger the timeliness o f the project by hiring a F O R company that might delay material purchases because o f a lack o f funds. Lesson #6: Keep close tabs on the project. T o ensure success in both the design and construction phases, it’s a good idea to hold weekly meetings at your building site. At Greenwich, our meetings were attended not only by building commit­ tee members but also by the architect, the general contractor, and, when appro­ priate, by subcontracting companies. During these meetings—39 in all— the committee grilled everyone involved to make certain each aspect o f the pro­ ject was going according to plan. Early on, the committee also held 21 separate planning meetings, where we hashed out project details and inter­ viewed prospective contractors. Lesson #7: Fine-tune your communica­ tions skills. In addition to fielding the numerous questions from contractors and commit­ tee members, during the course o f the I I II PERFECT PU TT . . . You’ve seen the Smooth Roll in action - grooming the greens at the following major events: project, I was expected to give formal presentations to the committee and, early on, to the membership, write weekly financial reports and periodic newsletter articles on the status o f the project, and arrange all meetings. Equally important, was keeping my staff up-to-date on what was happening and how it would affect their daily activities. To cap the project off, on Labor Day, we invited the membership to tour—and ask questions about—the facility.
