Ted Jozwick Returns as Sherwood A.
Moore Award Winner

oon after one season winds down,
our board and committee mem­
bers gear up for the following
season’s educational events and
social activities. This year was no excep­
tion. I was happy to see at our March
business meeting that all committees
were well into planning for 1993—
particularly our Tournament, Educa­
tion, Field Day, and Social Committees.
I was also pleased to see many new and
veteran members joining in to staff
those committees. As we all know, par­
ticipation is the key to making things
happen.
Speaking of making things happen,
Silver Spring Superintendent Peter
Rappoccio will once again be heading
the Nominating Committee. As 1992
chairman, Peter developed a set of
standard operating procedures that will
continue to serve us well in guiding the
committee’s activities and the election
process. I encourage anyone interested
in joining the board to speak to Peter,
me, or any current or former board
members to get an idea of the commit­
ment and responsibilities involved.
A couple of other items came up at
the meeting that I’d like to review,
particularly for those who weren’t able
to attend. First and foremost, Treasurer
Earl Millett recapped our financial status
and stressed the importance of respond­
ing promptly to dues billings and
monthly meeting (continued on pa£fe 2)

e was truly a pioneer in the field of
golf course maintenance, who re­
tired unceremoniously to the good
life in Florida more than a dozen
years ago. In July, he’s due to return to
a belated hero’s welcome as winner of
the MetGCSA’s coveted Sherwood A.
Moore (SAM) Award for 1993.
Fie is Theodore John “Ted” Jozwick,
82 years young, patriarch among greenkeepers, who will be presented the asso­
ciation’s Oscar or SAM Award July 26 at
the Powelton Club in Newburgh, NY.
Ted returns to New York, where he
began his “super” career more than 46
years ago. He served Fairview Country
Club (then in Elmsford, NY) with dis­
tinction for almost 32 years and, in an
interesting twist of fate, follows Winged
Foot Superintendent Bob Alonzi, as
recipient of the Moore prize. Bob, as
many know, not only served as Fairview’s super but had succeeded Ted in
1979. (See accompanying article, “The
Professor and the Protege.”)
A native of New York City and gradu-

S

ate of New York University with a major
in turf management, Ted Jozwick took
to “groundskeeping” quite by accident.
He fell in love with the work while on a
60-day military stay in Australia as a chief
yeoman with the Seabees during World
War II. He Stopped (continued on pujje 4)

invoices. If everyone knew the time,
effort, and money spent reinvoicing
members throughout the year, then
you’d all appreciate Earl’s concern.
Regardless of your club’s accounting
process, it’s your responsibility to assure
that payment is returned swiftly. If ever
a problem should arise, Earl would
gready appreciate a phone call.
After two years of dedicated leader­
ship, Larry Pakkala of Woodway Coun­
try Club will step down as president of
the Tri-State Turfgrass Research Foun­
dation and will turn the helm over to
Stephen Matuza of Oyster Bay Golf
Club in Woodbury, NY. As the group’s
first president, Larry leaves the founda­
tion in solid shape. The Tri-State, as
most of you know, is responsible for
funding research for turf-related prob­
lems threatening our courses—and has
thankfully responded quickly to such
crises as the summer patch scare. This
year, Preakness Hills Superintendent

Boardaf Director*
John O’Keefe will join me and West­
chester Country Club Super Joe Alonzi
as a MetGCSA representative to this
important foundation.
This season, I hope all of you will
make it your business to attend as many
of our functions as possible. Our
gatherings, whether business or social,
are great times to share experiences and
strategies with your peers. But more­
over, taking advantage of our many
educational opportunities is a kind of
insurance policy—one that guarantees
you stay abreast of industry changes and
stand ready to meet the challenges of
our ever-changing business. And to me,
that’s a comforting thought.
See all of you April 26 at our season’s
first golf meeting, where representatives
from the NYS DEC and NJ DEPE will
give us a pesticide regulatory and

Ted Jozwick Returns as Sherwood A. Moore
Award Winner
! and smelled the flowers and green grass
“down under,” and that was it.
Respected and admired by everyone
in the field of turf management, Ted was
unquestionably the Sherwood Moore of
his day. So knowledgeable, in fact, that
he served as consultant—with Fairview’s
blessing—at a number of district
courses, including old Rye Golf Club,
Ridgeway, Sunningdale, and Tamarack.
“Those were the sheep and cow ma­
nure fertilizer days,” he muses. “It was
horse and wagon. No motorized equip­
ment. No chemicals. You dug topsoil

Ithe Protégé
am what I am because of Ted
Jozwick.” So says Bob Alonzi,
superintendent at Winged Foot Golf
Club. Bob succeeded Ted as super
at Fairview Country Club in the winter
of 1979 and preceded Ted as winner of
the Sherwood A. Moore Award last year.
“Ted is that exceptional human be­
ing, with a special faculty for putting
one on the right track. He is a born
teacher,” notes the grateful protégé.
“He has been both a friend and con­
fidant. He is a kind, considerate, sensi­
tive person who genuinely cares for peo­
ple. And he was blessed with that spe­
cial knack for getting people to maxi­
mize their potential.
“Someone once said that the ‘best
teacher is the one who suggests rather
than dogmatizes and inspires his listener
with the wish to teach himself.’ Who­
ever said it obviously had Ted Jozwick
in mind. He has lived and practiced
that philosophy his entire life.
“And Ted Jozwick was a pioneer in
the field, make no mistake about that,”
adds Bob. “He was that rare multi­
talented find of his day—one who com­
bined ornamental horticulture and turf
management to stand head and shoul­
ders above the crowd . . . and this in the
era when the foremen were the golf
course maintenance kings of their day.
“Ted was that special.”

out of the woods for topdressing. It was
just you and Mother Nature, period.”
It was during this period that Ted
became acquainted with Bob and Joe
Alonzi of Westchester Country Club,
Peter Rappoccio of Silver Spring Country
Club, Bill Gaydosh of Hackensack Golf
Club, Dan “Murph” Verrille, formerly of
Ridgeway, and the late Gene Grady,
formerly of Tamarack, among others.
And to this day, these supers credit Ted
for whatever success they’ve achieved.
“He was the grand master,” says Peter.
Thrilled at the thought of returning
and renewing old acquaintances, Ted
reflected on the past and present with a
terse, “It’s a brand-new and very stylized
game today.
“The profession is in an extremely
high-tech stage,” he continues. “We’re
overdoing it to some extent. It’s too
much of the floral park setting today. I
long for the partial return to yesteryear.
I prefer the natural surroundings . . .
even a little brown grass, with a few
dandelions. . . . So what?
“Really, I wonder how many truly ap­
preciate what we have today—sparkling
emerald-green, surgically manicured,
multimillion-dollar carpets of green gold.
It’s a bit much.” Sage advice indeed
from a perceptive philosopher. And isn’t

philosophy just the art of living?
So keen an observer in his time, was
our Mr. Jozwick, that he even had the
foresight to help found the very associa­
tion that honors him now.
“We started it all back in the winter of
1959 at the old Village Tavern in Port
Chester,” he recalls. “To maintain our
sanity during those cold, long winters,
we would gather—Sherwood Moore,
Vin and Al Pentenero, A1 Mitchell, and
the chap from St. Andrews, among
others—and chitchat the day away.
“They were profitable get-togethers—
good for the mind and soul—and
founding the association was one of the
benefits, along with a host of mainte­
nance innovations.
“The profession has surely undergone
some monumental changes over the past
40 years or so . . . hasn’t it?”
That it has, and no one has contrib­
uted more to this progress than the
hearty, hardy octogenarian Ted Jozwick,
and all the other Jozwicks of their day.

his season, MetGCSA Class A and
B-l members with a USGA slope
index handicap, are eligible to
participate in an all-new tourney: a
two-man best ball net, match play,
played at 100 percent handicap.
Here’s the way it works: You pick a
partner, and at the April 26 Fenway
meeting, the two of you will play a
round, posting a best ball net score.
This score will be used to determine the
low 16 qualifying teams for match play.
The qualifiers will then select a site and
time to play their matches.
The tournament will last throughout
the summer, with the winning team

Club meeting in September.
The Tournament Committee estab­
lished this tourney to offer superinten­
dents the opportunity to golf with—and
get to know—fellow Met members. The
committee hopes to see this become a
prestigious, annual event.
If you plan to participate, fill out and
mail in the registration card that was
included with the Fenway meeting
notice. Competitors will receive a rules
sheet for this new event before the
qualifying round.

Scott Stark Hosts Season’s First Golf
Meeting at Fenway Golf Club
ur first golf meeting to kick off
the 1993 season is scheduled for
April 26—if it doesn’t snow—at
Fenway Golf Club in Scarsdale,
NY, and will be hosted by a relative
newcomer to the superintendent’s slot,
Scott Stark.
Awarded the position last spring,
Scott was no stranger to the club and
golf course maintenance operation. In
1981, after two years in SUNYFarmingdale’s horticultural program,
Scott began searching for an alternate
career path. Three years later, he
found it at Fenway Golf Club under
then superintendent Joe Alonzi. Joe
hired Scott in 1984 as a maintenance
crew worker and, two years later,
promoted him to assistant superinten­
dent. The rest is history, or a
“Cinderella Story,” as Actor Bill
Murray would say.
In his brief tenure as course super,
Scott has ushered to completion a five-

O

year greenside bunker renovation
program, designed to return the bunk­
ers to their original A.W. Tillinghast
design. And he’s replaced a couple of
the course’s more prominent trees: a
40-foot willow and Crimson King
maple. Next on the docket, he hopes,
is restoring the fairway bunkers.
Built in 1924, Fenway—originally
named Fenimore Golf Club—is a fine
example of “Tillie’s” work. Elevated
green and tee surfaces, cavernous
greenside bunkers, and gently rolling
terrain—with little, if any, modifications
to the natural topography—were his
trademarks.
Most of the club’s restoration work
is being done “in house” by Fenway’s
skilled maintenance staff, who are
guided largely by old photographs and
the memories of senior club members
and employees.
To enhance the inner workings of
his operation, Scott is busy fine-tuning

his computer skills. Though he’s mas­
tered Fenway’s computerized irrigation
system, Scott has taken short courses in
DOS—to learn exactly what makes the
computer tick—and Lotus, the program
the club uses for budget preparations.
For the upcoming meeting, MetGCSA members can expect true and
firm putting surfaces and tight fairway
lies. So dust off your clubs, and get in
a few practice rounds before the big
day.
Besides enjoying a good round of
golf, Scott is an avid skier—a sport he
and his wife, Kathy, enjoy together.
But Kathy might also be joining Scott
on the links. Apparently, she’s required
to take a phys ed class as part of her
nursing degree. And guess what? She’s
signed up for golf. Scott and Kathy
have been married a year and a half and
live in White Plains, NY.
