F President's Message Special Feature Time Flies When You’re Having Fun Earl Millett Takes the Helm as the MetGCSA’s 23rd President A n November 13, John O ’Keefe completed his two-year term as M etGCSA president, leaving the association in the capable hands o f Ridgeway Superintendent Earl Millett— a fellow classmate and graduate o f U M ass’s Stockbridge School o f Agriculture. Involved in the M etGCSA for 21 years, Earl has become well versed in the inner workings o f the association. “ I started on the ground floor and worked my way up through the chairs. This has enabled me to see how—and what it takes—to run one o f the finest superintendents associations in the nation,” he says. Earl’s goal as president is to not only elevate an already strong association, but also the image o f the superinten­ dent and the entire profession. “We work and live in the finest area in the country for golf. With this comes the great responsibility to be leaders in our profession both on and off the course,” he says. “As president, I hope to lead our group in showing others what a superintendent is and should be: a t our Annual Meeting on Novem­ ber 13, my tenure as MetGCSA president officially ended, and I stepped down, leaving the asso­ ciation in the very capable hands o f our new president, Earl Millett. It seems like just yesterday that I was accepting the title. During my accep­ tance speech, I said my goal was to leave the association at least a little better than the day I took it over. Inheriting an already strong association from Joe Alonzi, I knew this would prove to be a challenge. But I took the ball from Joe and just kept on rolling— sometimes surprised at how smoothly things went. With the help o f many, I feel I ’ve reached my goal. Here are just a few o f the things we, as an association, have accomplished— and can be proud o f—over the past two years. GCSAA Chapter Affiliation. In my first year as president, we were faced with the task o f fulfilling the many requirements necessary to remain affiliated with GCSAA. This meant instituting a significant number o f bylaw changes and included revamping our member­ ship requirements, reporting proce­ dures to GCSAA and much, much more. (You gotta love that paper­ work!) We’re proud (continued on page 2) O dedicated, highly regarded professional.” In addition to the Met, Earl has also been actively involved in the New York State Turfgrass Association (NYSTA)— he hosted this year’s Poa Annual G olf Tourney— and in the Tri-State Turf Research Foundation, where he serves on the board.

Image Building. Enhancing our image as superintendents is high on our list o f priorities. To aid the cause, we took nearly every opportunity to participate in activities that put us in the public eye and allowed us to demonstrate our professionalism and our commitment to protecting the environment. For instance, we participated in the Westchester County Earth Day at Lasdon Park and Arboretum in April. I, and several others from our associa­ tion, manned a table displaying infor­ mation about our profession and our concern for the environment. We were available to answer questions and, just as important, to right any misconcep­ tions. More than four thousand people attended, and those who stopped by seemed to leave with a favorable impression. Will Heintz, our Government Relations chairperson, is also represent­ ing the Met—and our profession— by joining numerous environmentally minded groups and committees. Among them are the Westchester County Pest Management Committee and The Coalition to Prevent Destruc­ tion o f Canadian Geese. Will is also actively involved with The Cornell University Cooperative Extension o f Westchester County. He is obviously committed to breaking through the negativity and many misconceptions about our profession. Keep up the good work, Will! Last but not least, our new Club Relations Committee is well on its way to being an effective vehicle for pro­ moting superintendents and our profession. Chairman John Carlone and his committee have made efforts to meet with clubs and provide us with a survey to enable us to be better pre­ pared to make our career choices. Beyond Party Planning. Thanks to Family Relations Committee Chairman Joe (2) Tee to Green November 1997 Alonzi, this committee is expanding the scope o f its work to include more than just party planning. It is truly reaching out to the needs o f our members and their families by working to provide a network o f peers—or mentors—who will be willing to talk through personal or professional concerns or crises. We hope you won’t hesitate to make use o f this wonderful resource. Watch for a list o f participating mentors. Finale It’s been a great two years, and it really has flown by. I want to thank the many people—I think you know who you are—who have made this a truly worthwhile and meaningful experience for me. And before I go on, let me just say that I couldn’t have done all this without the support o f my wife, Margaret, and my two girls. (But then, I find it hard to do anything without the love and support o f my family.) Thanks is probably not enough to say to a green chairman who gets up and says how proud he is o f you in front o f all your peers. Bill Green’s comments at the Superintendent/ Green Chairman meeting here at Preakness will remain with me forever. I’ve had many wonderful experiences at this club, but that one will be unsurpassed. The board members, my fellow employees, and especially my crew at Preakness have always helped me to shine. I would be remiss if I also didn’t thank two individuals who make the Met shine and help to keep it running smoothly: our executive secretary, Ineke Pierpoint, and this publication’s managing editor, Pandora Wojick. Thanks for putting up with me for the past two years. Last but not least, I want to thank all o f you out there. The members and board o f directors have given me this opportunity and have supported me through this very exciting time. For that I will be forever in your debt. JO H N J.

One look at this pristine, 18-hole Northern New Jersey course, and you know that the operation is in great hands. The club’s superintendent for 11 years, John has prepared the course for several notable events, not the least o f which are the N JSGA Mid-Amateur in 1992 and both the IKE and USGA Senior Women’s Amateur in 1993. In his tenure, John has also worked to spruce up this 71-year-old William Tucker design by completing a host o f tee and bunker renovations and a variety o f drainage improvement projects. Next on the docket, he says, is to begin picking away at the club’s ambi­ tious master plan, which includes a new irrigation system, maintenance building, and, yes, course design. “ Helping me get the job done,” says John, “ are 19 staff members, which includes my three assistants, Tim Kerwin, Bill Milarcyk, and Steve Deoliveira. “ N ot included in this count,” he’s quick to point out, “ is the most impor­ tant person, my guiding light and inspir­ ation, my wife, Margaret, o f 18 years. “ I owe a huge amount o f my success to Margaret for her continued support o f my career and for her dedication to building and maintaining our great family . . . my two kids, Adrienne, who’s 14, and Maureen, 12.” Continues John, “Another person who’s allowed me to develop as a profes­ sional is my green chairman, Bill Green. H e’s always positive, and though he’s a great golfer, he can still look at the op­ eration from the whole membership’s perspective—not just from the better golfers’ viewpoint. That’s not only made my job easier, but also made for greater harmony among the members.” The Climb to Preakness Hills The route to Preakness was relatively smooth. Born and raised in the Berk­ shire Mountains in the rural Lenox, MA, John worked as a teenager for a landscaper, eventually becoming superintendent o f a large condominium complex, complete with putting green, pool, and tennis facility. “ It was like a little country club,” remembers John. “ On my way to work everyday,” he continues, “ I’d pass Pittsfield Country Club and admire how well maintained it was.” Once John began to play the game, he was not only impressed by the beauty o f golf courses, but also intrigued by the maintenance practices and requirements. That was the beginning o f the end. John entered the Stockbridge School o f Agriculture and earned an AS in Turf Management in 1979, graduating with the likes o f Joe Kennedy (Irra-Tech, Inc.) and Earl Millett (Ridgeway CC). Having done his placement training the year before at Longshore Club Park in Westport, C T with then Superinten­ dent Mark Fuller, he was a shoe-in for the well-timed opening for assistant there. John stayed at Longshore until 1981, when he landed his first superintendent’s job at Westchester Hills G olf Club in White Plains, NY. John put his knowledge to the test there for five years, before taking over his current position at Preakness Hills Country Club in Wayne, N J, where he became a certified golf course superin­ tendent in 1987. No Rest for the Weary Through the years, John has become a more-than-just-active member in the turfgrass management world—his involvements almost too numerous to list. Let’s see. H e’s been involved with both the New York and New Jersey Turfgrass Associations. H e’s spent five years on the board o f the Tri-State Turf Research Foundation and has been an increasingly active member o f GCSAA since 1977. To say that he’s also been dedicated to the M etGCSA is probably an under­ statement. John joined in 1981 and was elected to the board in 1985, chairing numerous committees, including Bylaws, Communications, Membership, Public Relations, and Scholarship & Research. He made his way up through the chairs, serving as secretary, vice president, president, and now past president. Just when you’d think John might take a year or two to rest on his laurels and enjoy his favorite leisure-time pursuits—golf: family, especially the kids’ extracurricular activities; and cooking now and then—he’s decided to run for the New Jersey GCSA board and has volunteered to serve on GCSAA’s Foundation Capital Campaign Commit­ tee. N o rest for the weary. But then, John wouldn’t have it any other way. We thank him for his leadership and dedication to this industry for the past 20 years—and wish him all the best in his future pursuits. M ICH A EL H. C O O K JR. ALPINE the CARE o f TREES Don’t miss the MetGCSA Winter Seminar on Wednesday, January 7 at Westchester Country Club! Tee to Green November 1997 ( 3) Special Feature (cont. frompg. 1) Earl Millett Takes the Helm as the MetGCSA’s 23rd President the business began back in Turner Falls, MA, where he and his superintendent brother Mark Millett o f Old Oaks Country Club just about grew up on a nine-hole golf course, the Thomas Memorial G olf and Country Club. “ I started out there pushing a mower when I was about 12,” remembers Earl. Growing increasingly interested in the profession, Earl was persuaded by his cousin Chuck Martineau, superin­ tendent o f Whippoorwill Club, to come down to Armonk and learn the ropes by working as a laborer on his crew. Earl worked with Chuck for three years, then in 1978, accepted the assistant’s posi­ tion at Fenway G olf Club, under then superintendent A1 Tretera. Earl stayed there until 1980, completing his AS in Turfgrass from UMass along the way. “ I’ve always said that I learned how to run a crew from Chuck and how to grow grass from Al,” says Earl o f his years in training for his first— and Involvement Is Key hectic schedules to participate in the Met—to volunteer on a committee or perhaps even serve on the board. “ I ’m not the first president to say that the association could always profit from a helping hand,” he says. “ And talk to anyone who’s served the association, and they’ll tell you there’s a significant payback to participating: It looks great on your resume, and it gives you a tremendous opportunity to swap information and share concerns— both personal and professional—with people who are in the same boat.” “ There’s more to a superintendent’s job than the club and course itself,” notes Earl. “ Becoming involved in local and national industry associations—like the Met and GCSAA—can have a tremen­ dous impact on a superintendent’s ability to succeed, both professionally and personally.” Earl’s one wish is that all area super­ intendents carve some time out o f their Earl’s quick to tell you he’s thoroughly devoted to the game o f golf—the rules and, most important, the betterment o f the conditions we all play on. And anyone who knows Earl at all, knows that if he’s not working on his course, he’s looking for the opportunity to finetune his game on someone else’s. A present—superintendent’s job at Ridge­ way Country Club in White Plains, NY. Earl has been with the club since 1980 and, in that time, has overseen numerous improvement projects. Among them: a new pump house and irrigation system, as well as tee and bunker restoration. One o f Earl’s most recent projects was to oversee the reconstruction o f Hole #8, which included expanding a sizable pond and creating—and restoring—wetlands.

The next phase, you devote to your family— and to meaningful personal pursuits. Now in that second phase o f his career, Earl’s ready for the challenge o f running our high-profile association. “ I look forward to the next two years,” says Earl, “ and to working with all o f you in moving our association forward to even greater heights o f accomplishment.
