Volume 23, Number 8 • November/December 1993 President's Message Special Feature The Ingredients o f Success Joe Alonzi Voted in as the MetGCSA’s 21st President consider it an honor to be your new president. And I accept this honor with a true commitment to furthering the progress the MetGCSA has made over the years. Our list of past presidents is impressive, and thanks to their strong leadership and the hard work and dedication of past boards, the association has made great strides. Interestingly, this is one of the few associations that has generally had an oversupply of qualified candidates run­ ning for office. Most chapters are begg­ ing members to run for board positions. I feel fortunate to have such a large pool of willing and talented members to serve on our Board of Directors—each com­ mitted to doing everything possible to enhance the association. That makes my job easier, but more important, it offers the association a solid foundation for success. Another equally important element in our suc­ cess, however, is that we communicate openly with one another and work to ­ gether as a true fraternal organization. This is an area we could all work on. But I’d especially like to see our young superintendents and assistant superin­ tendents make a concerted effort to become actively involved in the associa­ tion—and with fellow association members. Attend meetings regularly, and as hard as it may seem sometimes, make an effort to talk (continued on p * se 2 ) et us unite and accept the chal­ lenge of sharing turf-related ideas and forming a network of informa­ tion for all of our members. . . . ” Those were among Joe Alonzi’s first words as president of the MetGCSA and part of an acceptance speech that urged members to view one another as allies— not competitors. “We’ve built a solid foundation for success. If we pull together and com­ municate as one, only greatness lies ahead for the association,” says Joe, who’s made a firm commitment to furthering the Met’s progress. (See his President’s Message.) Currently Superintendent of Golf Courses and Grounds at Westchester Country Club in Rye, NY, Joe succeeds Tim O ’Neill as the Met’s 21st president. He was formally voted into office at the November 18 Annual Meeting at Silver Spring Country Club in Ridgefield, CT. Like all Met presidents, Joe is well prepared for his new post. A board L member since 1986, he’s served four years as treasurer and two as vice presi­ dent, and he’s chaired or served on nearly every association committee, including the Tournament, Scholarship & Research, Government Relations, Bylaws, and Field Day (continued on pu^c 4) Also In This Issue (? ) Meet Your New Board of Directors ( 3) ( 5 ) Notable Notes on MetGCSA Events and Members Sizing Up the MetGCSA Membership: ( J ) Scholarship Forms Ready and Waiji A Year-end Account ( 3 ) Upcoming Educational Events ( 4 ) A Fairwell to Met Executive Secretary Jan Russo ( ? ) The Lowdown on the Met Area Championship BEARD COLLECTION President's Message (cont. from pg. 1) The Ingredients o f Success Board of D irectors to and get to know other assistants and superintendents. So many o f you young, talented pro­ fessionals are waiting for that first break, but what you have to realize is that you need far more than a solid educational background to get ahead. You need practical experience. You’d be surprised how many more opportunities—and useful bits of business knowledge—will come your way when you make an effort to “network” with fellow members. I ’ve been fortunate in my years in the association to have hooked up with peo­ ple like my brother, Bob, Ted H orton, Sherwood Moore, Chuck Martineau, Pete Rappoccio, Mike Maffei, Scott Niven, Tim O ’Neill, Dennis Flynn, Earl and Mark Millett . . . the list is endless. I can honestly say I ’ve learned from each and every one of these people, and I continue to learn from my contact with others in the association. The process is one of give-and-take. And it’s our char­ ter to take care of one another. Speaking of taking care of things, you may have heard that Jan Russo, who’s ably managed the association’s many administrative details, will soon be leav­ ing her position as executive secretary. (See write-up on Jan on page 4.) We’ll all miss Jan, and though it will be hard to fill her shoes, we’ll need to find a replacement. Right now, we’re exploring the possi­ bility of setting up a MetGCSA office in the new MGA headquarters being built in Elmsford, NY. That would give us the opportunity to, perhaps, share secre­ tarial services with the MGA. This is all still in the formative stages, but if we can keep our autonomy and work within our budget, then I feel we should, by all means, join the MGA in what could someday be the center for allied golf associations in the Met area. If we all pull together, this will be just one of many exciting opportunities for the Met, and in the coming two years, I look forward to guiding the association in its new—and day-to-day— endeavors. Like other presidents before me, I want to keep an open line o f communi­ cation with all our members. So please feel free to give me a call with any MetGCSA-related questions or concerns you may have.

Inc Tee to Green November/Oecember1993 ( 3 ) Special Feature (cont. 1) Joe Alonzi Voted in as the MetGCSA’s 21st President committees. Equally notable, Joe was appointed to the Westchester County Drought Emergency Task Force by County Executive Ajidrew O ’Rourke in 1991. “No question, Joe has always been a leader in our association,” says Tim of his successor. “I know his extensive committee work—coupled with his strong leadership qualities—will serve him well in his term as president o f the MetGCSA. I have no doubt Joe will do a terrific job, and I look forward to working with him as past president.” A long-time superintendent, Joe is well versed in the inner workings of the turfgrass management industry. His interest in golf stems back to the 1960s, when he began caddying at Tamarack Country Club in Greenwich, CT—practically a stone’s throw from his hometown o f Portchester, NY. His caddying job led to a position on the grounds crew under then Superinten­ dent Ted Jozwick. He did that for four summers during high school. Then, in 1968, he signed on at Burning Tree Country Club in Green­ wich, where his brother, Bob, had accepted the position as superinten­ dent. Joe’s was a part-time position that allowed him to pursue a degree in what he then believed would be his life-long career: electrical engineering. After graduating from the RCA Institute in Manhattan in 1971, he took a job at United Aircraft in Norwalk, CT, where he worked on the radar tracking system for the F - l l l fighter jet. But after two years of what he terms “desk work and pencil pushing,” Joe began to long for the outdoors. That drove him back to Burning Tree—and school. While working, once again, with his older (but littler) brother, Bob, he enrolled in the Rutgers Professional Golf Turf Man­ agement School. After earning his certificate in 1974, he was offered a superintendent’s position at Huntington Crescent Club in Long Island. Ten years later, he went to Fenway Golf Club in Scarsdale, NY, where he stayed until assuming his current position at Westchester in 1992. Joe and Judy, his wife of 22 years, live in North Salem, NY, with their four children. His son, Christopher, is in his final year at SUNY Agricultural and Technical College in Cobleskill, NY, and plans to follow in his father’s footsteps. His daughter Amy is in her freshman year at Coastal Carolina University in South Carolina, while daughters Allison and Amanda are in the eighth and sixth grades.

From that day on, she was there when we needed her. Although December 31 marked Jan’s last day of service, she’s agreed to stay on during the transition period. “The Met has been a very special part of my life,” says Jan. The people are terrific and very professional, and the work’s been enjoyable. It’s allowed me to grow, learning a lot about the golf course business—and business in general. I will miss the Met very much.” Jan lives in Larchmont, NY, with her husband, Joe, who works for Texaco World Headquarters, and her 16-yearold son, Chris, and 17-year-old daugh­ ter, Jill.
