(continued on page 3) abies is of growing concern in the greater Metropolitan area, where hun­ dreds of animals in the past two years have tested positive for the deadly disease—and numerous residents have fallen prey to rabid animal attacks. On golf courses—a welcome environment for wildlife—rabid animals can pose a threat to unsuspecting golfers and golf course maintenance crew. One of the first steps in protecting your staff and membership from coming into contact with this potentially life-threatening virus is education. Here’s what you, your staff, and membership should know. L R What Is Rabies? Rabies is a virus that causes inflamma­ tion of the brain and is almost always fatal once symptoms develop. Present primarily in saliva, the virus is transmit­ ted through a bite or scratch from an infected animal. People cannot get rabies by just petting an animal or even by getting rabies-contaminated saliva on their skin—unless it comes into contact with a recent wound or break in the skin or a mucous membrane. The number one carrier of rabies in our area is the raccoon, followed by skunks, woodchucks, foxes, and bats. Although any animal is susceptible to rabies, it’s unusual to find it in small rodents, primarily because if they’re bitten by another animal they usually don’t survive to pass the virus along. Tip-offs to Trouble If a predominantly nocturnal animal is roaming the golf course during the day, that’s frequently a tip-off to trouble. Keep in mind, though, that nocturnal animals sometimes make daytime appearances to hunt down food for their young. If, however, an animal seems uncharacteristically tame or friendly, shows signs of paralysis—particularly of the hindquarters and throat, walks in circles, falls over, (continued on page 4) Also in This Issue (2 ) Member Notables ( 7 ) Results of Ridgewood Tourney and Final Championship Qualifier (2 ) Meeting Reminder and Three Educational Events ( 7 ) Met Takes Second Place in Team (3 ) Rick Schock Hosts Season’s Final Golf Meeting Championship Notable Notes New Members Class C, Metro Milorganite Inc., Bedford Hills, NY Scott Apgar, Class C, Rhone-Poulenc Agricultural Co., Toms River, NJ Greg Hutch, Robert Lippman Jr., Class CS, Westchester Turf Supply, Inc., Lincolndale, NY Class C, Magovern Co., Windsor Locks, CT William Perry, Class C, Steven Willand, Inc., Augusta, NJ William Rapp, originally scheduled to begin on the 18th—the day his son was bom.

( 2) Tee to Green September/October1992 Spotlight Rick Schock Hosts Season’s Final Golf Meeting at Wee Burn chitecture. “The club’s property and buildings were once part of someone’s estate,” explains Rick. “And when it all was sold, the owner specified in the deed that the style of the clubhouse and surrounding buildings remain un­ changed.”^ In the turfgrass management business since he was 15, Rick first had his sights set on becoming a golf pro. His interest in the game was inspired by his father, who Rick says was an avid golfer. Rick began swinging a club before he was 10. Groomed on California links, where he spent the first 12 years of his life, he and his family moved in 1968 to Richardson, TX—just one in a series of moves required by his father’s job as a Revlon executive. Two years later, when Rick was 14, the Schock’s relocated one last time to Stamford, CT. It was about then that Rick’s career goals began to change. He started President's Message (cont. 1) working part time and then summers on the crew at Sterling Farms Golf Course Accolades and Activities in Stamford, CT. Joe Gillardi was superintendent at the time. After graduating high school, Rick pursued a business administration Hot Topic to Be Discussed Poa Annual Tournament Breaks All Records November 16 and 17, Dr. Pat Vittum, degree from Norwalk Community A fund-raiser that actually exceeded expectations and all past records was the entomologist, and Dr. Gail Schumann, College and then enrolled in UMass’s Poa Annual Tournament.

More than 100 players enjoyed a sunny day on the Devereux Emmet-designed links. Opened in 1923, the course has seen only minor modifications by Geoffrey Cornish in 1974. Among the architect’s contributions were two new sand traps and 500 to 600 plantings throughout the course. Since then, Rick Schock has made a few modifications of his own. During his four years as superintendent, he’s installed new cart paths, added a soil storage and preparation area to the maintenance facility, built a new equip­ ment and chemical storage building, constructed an irrigation storage pond near the maintenance facility, and revamped the course’s pump house. T Among the projects he’s currently got in the works are updating his irriga­ tion system; building a new cart storage facility; enlarging the course’s tees—he’s completed four to date and will finish two more by winter; and planting orna­ mental and native grasses in out-of-play areas. Another interesting program that’s been initiated in Rick’s tenure is a memorial tree planting program, which allows members to donate trees in memory of a loved one. “Members might suggest a favorite hole or area of the golf course where they’d like the tree planted, and we work with them to select an appropriate species for the spot,” explains Rick. To date, 76 trees have been planted. One aspect of the club that hasn’t— and apparently won’t—change is the course’s distinctive Spanish-style ar- Tee to Green September/October1992 ( 3) Special Feature (cont.
