President's Message Special Feature An Unwritten Code Renovation Time! Worth Writing About Area Supers Offer Step-by-Step Accounts of Their Annual Overseeding Programs et’s face it; this season has been tough. But the trouble really began last summer with recordbreaking heat and water shortages. The winter continued to beat up on the turf with below-normal temperatures, above-average snowfall, and in some areas, heavy ice cover. Then came spring: Courses scrambled to recover from, in some cases, severe winter dam­ age. And just when we thought we had our problems licked, we’re hit with unrelenting heat and humidity that’s allowed diseases to gain such a foothold on the turf that they’re next to impos­ sible to eradicate. Though a good number of golf courses are in less-than-perfect condi­ tion, many—if not most—club members and officials fail to understand that much of what’s going on out there has little, if anything, to do with the super­ intendent’s ability. I’ve had several golfers from other clubs play here at Westchester and tell me what horrible condition their courses are in. And my own members have said things like, “Why do we need a new irrigation system? We just played X-Y-Z course with a state-of-the-art system, and they don’t look any better than us.” In both cases, I’ve been quick to point out some of the problems we’ve had here and how the weather’s contrib­ uted to everyone’s troubles. But just as important, I try tO (continued on pugc 2) L oming out of one of the most dif­ ficult growing seasons on record, many golf courses are looking to their annual renovation programs to breathe new life into their flagging turfgrass. Though the degree of turf troubles may vary from one course to another, few Met area clubs are emerging from this season completely unscathed. Their woe quotient seems to depend largely on the age and construction of the course (with push-up greens far more likely to fail under stress than newer USGA-spec’ed greens); turfgrass species (with poa annua less hardy than bentgrass); micro environment (with lowlying, tree-covered areas more prone to problems); labor, chemical, and equip­ ment budgets; and let’s face it, plain old luck of the draw. Needless to say, annual renovation programs—particularly overseeding of greens—have taken on an all-new importance this year. Innis Arden Superintendent Pat Lucas surveyed a geographic cross-section of superintendents to find out when and C how they execute their annual renova­ tion programs. As they walk you through their renovation procedures, you may spot a practice you’d like to incorporate in your own program. At the least, we hope these step-by-step accounts will help you confirm—and feel confident—that your annual renovation program is on track. * Bob Alonzi, CGCS, Winged Foot Golf Club, Mamaroneck, NY “We overseed once a k i_____' year in conjunction with aerification. Our program is nonagressive and customized especially for Winged Foot. We begin by aerifying with a Ryan Greensaire with 5/8" tines. Next, we broadcast seed—a mix of Penncross/Penneagle and PennLinks when available—at a rate of 1/2 lb. per M. Then, we pulverize the plugs with a verticutter and apply another 1/2 lb. of seed. Next, we drag the greens and blow off the thatch. The final step is to apply either a starter or high-phospho­ rous fertilizer. “As everyone (continued on page 4) Also in This Issue (?)

This leads me to the real point of my message. And that is that it’s our duty as superintendents and Met members to support and communicate with one another and to abide by—what until now was—an unspoken code of ethics. Both these principles were recently forgotten. I’m referring specifically to what happened to a fellow superinten­ dent and Met member: He resigned from his job after finding out that his club, without him knowing, had been interviewing candidates for his position. A simple phone call from one of those people “in the know” could have saved this superintendent’s job—or at least better prepared him for what was coming. In another incident, relating to this same club and circumstance, a Met member was asked to name the top assistant superintendents in the area. Though it may be flattering to be con­ sulted on this issue, we all have to keep in mind that we have our own opinions and biases, and by offering them, we exclude many qualified and worthy candidates from being considered. There is a fine line between what is ethical and what is not. I personally think that these recent events have crossed the line. If approached to interview—or to suggest a candidate for hire—it’s our responsibility to first ask whether the superintendent is aware that he or she is being replaced. If not, I think you know what the ethical thing to do is. In any case, you should suggest the club follow our industry’s protocol for seeking a superintendent. They could start by contacting MetGCSA Secretary John Carlone. Our association can advertise the position through a mailing; our newly formed Club Relations Com­ mittee is available to meet with the club and guide them in establishing a selec­ tion process—ensuring, first, that the superintendent’s job can’t be saved; or we can recommend an impartial profes­ sional, who can aid them in conducting the search. This season, perhaps more than any other I can remember, points to the fact that, as superintendents, our stance at our clubs frequently has more to do with club politics than with our ability to get the job done. You may, one day, find yourself in the position of the superin­ tendent I mentioned. Would you want to be one of the last to know your job was in jeopardy? I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again: Our association’s reason for being is to support one another—personally and professionally. We must be willing to work together and share our problems and successes. And above all, we need to promote the highest professional standards and conduct within our pro­ fession. That means doing all we can to prevent incidents like the one I described from happening again. JOE ALONZI, CGCS President Into Alert A Call for Sherwood A.

Notable Notes Crawford Park Picnic: Fun-and-Games for All uly 25 marked the date for the 1994 MetGCSA Picnic. Held in the past at the Woodway Beach Club, the picnic was relocated this year to Crawford Park in Rye, NY. With the emphasis being kids, kids, kids, the Met Social & Welfare Commit­ tee, chaired by Apawamis Club Superin­ tendent Jeff Scott, certainly succeeded in its goal. Sponsored by Metro Milorganite and Miles, the day was highlighted by Chuckles the Clown. He entertained the children for hours with stories, tricks, sand jar designs, clay molds, animal balloons, and much, much more. Chuckles apparently enjoyed his audi­ ence as much as they enjoyed him: He stayed twice as long as his contract required! Also included in the festivities were Barney and Rocky, two ponies that were kept busy for two solid hours. As the J kids finished a ride on one, they’d hop into the saddle of the other A couple of zealous attendees even tried to coerce Ridgeway Superinten­ dent Earl Millett into taking a ride, but to no avail. Lucky for those ponies! The day offered fun-and-games for adults too. While Chuckles and the ponies occupied the little ones, some of the “big kids” took positions on the ball field for a three-inning softball game, highlighted by Siwanoy Superin­ tendent Dave Mahoney’s fine fielding, which included tagging out Dennis Petruzzelli (Lakeover National) when he tried to stretch a single into a triple. The bad guys, led by the pitching of Old Oaks Super Mark Millett, beat the good guys, with yours truly pitching, by a score of 6 to 5. Young J.J.

Chef Tom Kavanagh and his crew from Apawamis capped off a great day with a fine spread of food, including chicken cutlets, bratwurst, seafood salad, corn-on-the-cob, burgers, fruit salad, and cake. All were stuffed when they left for home. The picnic was a nice break from the unrelenting pressures of this season. If there was any disappointment at all, it was the overall light turnout.

First, the ex­ isting grass is less vigorous that time of year, so your new seed has minimal competition. Second, that’s before poa annua germinates, so the bentgrass—or whatever grass you’re seeding in—gets a nice head start. “All that said, at Winged Foot we’re locked into renovating the first and second weeks of September so that we don’t interfere with scheduled club events. Though a September program won’t yield the optimum results, it’s certainly better than forgoing the pro­ cess altogether.” aerified and overseeded in September. But the cold inhibited germination, and frost affected the survival of our bentgrass seedlings. So this year, we decided to begin our program the first week in April. “We started by aerifying our greens with a Ryan Greensaire with 1/ 4 " solid tines. Then, we sliced the greens with a Ryan Mataway—without the seeder attachment—using 1/8" blades spaced at 1/ 2 " and slicing at a depth of 1/2" to 3/4". “Next, we used a cyclone to broadcast seed over the green.
