Previewing the Big Three a New Decade Is Opening and the Golf Industry Is Determined to Make the Soaring Sixties Seem Only a Prelude to the Spectacular Seventies

Home , Big Three (Belgium)

Previewing the Big Three A new decade is opening and the golf industry is determined to make the soaring sixties seem only a prelude to the spectacular seventies. Each of the major associations—PGA, GCSAA and CMAA—will kick off the new year with annual conventions and shows that promise to be bigger and more informative than ever before. It will take two tents this year to hold the vast array of new equipment and apparel awaiting pros at the PGA Merchandise Show. A glance at the program for the GCSAA conference reveals that superintendents are becoming some of the most highly specialized and skilled individuals in the industry. And this year's CMAA conference goes beyond traditional concerns over member service to more complex problems of labor and insurance that all managers will be encountering in the future. On the following pages is an advance look at the three conventions to help make your attendance more rewarding and profitable. r. Hoffner's feet hurt him. That > was the beginning of the Professional Golfers' Assn.'s most successful merchandising promotion. Frank Mitchell and Gus Novotny also were tired of wandering around the clubhouse and the first tees and the 18th green of the PGA National GC at Dunedin, Fla. It was during the first of the PGA Seniors champions conducted at Dunedin that Bob Hoffner, veteran pro salesman, quickly discovered he could see many of his best customers and prospective buyers. So he got himself a bridge table and a chair, put them along the path under the big shady tree in front of the clubhouse and the pro shop, showed a few samples, opened his order book, and his store was in business. It was a grand hunch. Frank Mitchell, who had been selling to pros for a long time also got himself a table and a chair. Then Gus Novotny opened his bazaar. So Hoffner, sitting in the shade and giving his feet a chance to cool off, and his comrades with similar problems and hopes, created a valuable new service in pro golf merchandising. Frank Sprogell was everything—professional, manager, superintendent—of Dunedin then and saw that these pitch men were doing a good job for pros. So he put up a tent in back of the clubhouse, and the PGA Merchandise Show was born. One year it almost rained the show into the Gulf, but it simplified and extended pro buying. When PGA moved over into the empire of billionaire John MacArthur at Palm dens, Fla., the Merchandise Show came along as caboose. There a smart, imaginative pro, John- ny Vasco of the Lehigh (Pa.) GC, was appointed head of the show project. He and Ed Ficker of lequesta (Fla). CC got the show or- ganized as big business. And to check out how the show has flourished since, just head down to Palm Beach Gardens from January 24th through 27 th this year. —Herb Graff is Continued

Past president of CMAA, John Bennett of the San Francisco Commercial Club, is the general chairman, and he is being aided by most of the members of the chapter and their wives. The conference is officially scheduled to begin on Wednesday, February 4th, but that is really when it gets down to business. For many of the attendees, it will begin with a trip to Las Vegas, which is being sponsored by the Greater Chicago Chapter and is scheduled to leave January 30th from Chicago and Detroit. Others will be vacationing in California and San Francisco, and it is conceivable that some may have arrived on the West Coast as early as mid-January. It is quite possible that some will go via Los Angeles to revisit the conference site of 1967. If I may make a suggestion, everyone who is coming to the conference should plan to spend a few days before, or a few days after, touring the Bay Area. Because sightseeing is a normal part of attending any conference, and San Francisco is a par- ticularly fascinating city, I suggest that you do a bit of traveling on vour own while there. Men should bring fall suits, a light combination top coat-rain coat, bermuda shorts, a pair of comfortable shoes, some soft slacks, a sweater, a light jacket and golf clubs. Plan to do some walking in the various areas of Fisherman's Wharf, Chinatown, Twin Peaks and Golden Gate Park. Women should bring a minimum of things, and then plan to use some of the great shopping facilities that exist in this area. Also, bring comfortable shoes and some comfortable clothes in which to enjoy your stroll. Here is a rundown of the program that will take place. The conference will begin preliminary activities on Sunday, February 1st.

Although Houston may lack some of the glamour of last year's site, Miami Beach, it has a special Texan sparkle all its own and is one of the two fastest growing cities in the United States. The Houston location will be also a strong attraction for the snowbound turfman of the North, who will welcome the chance to unlimber the clubs and mix business with plea- sure, or more accurately, mix vacation with business as do so many golf course superintendents. A glance at the educational program shows that the modern superintendent is operating on a broader and more sophisticated plan, in contrast to the programs of by-gone years, which featured such topics as resodding a putting green and animal versus chemical fertilizer (in 1929). Also, in contrast were the annual dues, $5 and the room rates at the first conference at the Hotel Sherman in Chicago— $2.50 to $3.95 a night. It is also noteworthy that although the supplies and equipment on display in Houston will be of direct interest to the course superintendent, this was not always the case. The program of 1927 lists exhibits in such areas as sports equipment and fishing gear; clubs and golf balls; refrigeration equipment; playground equipment, chicken manure; show- er slippers; and golf and fishing equipment. Although there may be a chuckle or two over some items, remember this was the start of what is today the greatest show on turf. —Bill Smart Continued oline or electric models.
