Vol. 7 No. 2 March - April 1984 Looking at Both Sides of the Coin The 1983 golf season was a valuable asset for me both as a labor costs and weakened turfgrass going into the professional and as a person. Any golf course superintendent summer. We spent more man hours for fairway from the New York Metropolitan area who lived through this mowing and cleanup in April and May than we did experience would consider this statement to be ludicrous, during the months of June-September combined. but with the right attitude, they too would take on this Then in early June, the rains came to a halt and our viewpoint. There are two sides to every coin, most prayers were answered - or so we thought. superintendents reflect back to 1983 and usually refer to one A major factor in the summer survival of a side of the coin only. turfgrass plant is how well the plant builds up Last year is considered by many to be one of the most carbohydrate reserves in the spring, and challenging years in memory for turf managers. From how well the plant adjusts to the transition March till early June, we received record shattering rain­ from spring to summer. Last spring gave the falls. As soon as the rains stopped, a heat wave came upon us plant little chance to build up carbohydrate immediately and endured throughout the summer even reserves, and the summer gave absolutely through September. Just as we were recovering from the no chance to adjust to the transition into the heat wave, heavy rains came again. Thus 1983 went out as it summer.

The District Evaluation Committee’s first consideration was deciding whether to keep the district concept. We were of unanimous opinion that the benefits of this type of organization were many and worth saving. The main weakness of the existing district set-up is that there are not enough supers attending the district meetings. The way to get more supers to each meeting is to encourage participation and make the meeting worthwhile. However, there are still not enough supers interested enough or able to get free to attend the meetings. It was determined that there needs to be a larger pool of supers in each district from which to draw for the meetings. The six district idea, advanced by a previous committee, was investigated and it was determined to have some of the same flaws as now exist. Some of the districts did not have enough supers and the numbers per district were very unequal. Also in one of the districts north-south travel was required in an area of excellent east-west roads. We want a simple division of districts allowing all members easy transportational access to the meetings. The 4 District Organization is designed along transportation routes. District 1 consists of all golf courses north of Route 80, District 2 is those golf courses south of Route 80 but north of Route 78 and 287, District 3 contains those golf courses of south of Route 78 and 287 and north of the existing District 8, and District 4 is the existing District 8. (See map.) Golf courses on the border areas may elect to go with the district they have developed close associations with. The number of supers per district works out to be very close. Below are the preliminary counts and apportionment from each of the existing districts: District 1 (1) All of existing District 1 (25) (2) Some of District 2 ( 4) (3) Some of District 3 (10) (4) Some of District 4 (12) Total (51) District 2 (1) Some of District 2 (19) (2) Some of District 3 (15) (3) Some of District 4 ( 5) (4) Some of District 5 (17) ( 5) 2 Clubs from District 6 ( 2) (58) District 3 (1) 2 Clubs of District 4 ( 2) (2) Some of District 5 ( 8) (3) Most of District 6 (20) (4) All of District 7 (24) (54) District 4 (1) All of District 8 (64) (64) The committee will be making further recommendations to encourage activity in each district and provide organization.
