No matter how you look at it spring has been a great start for the golf season of 2012. The NOGCSA Board is working on many events and outings for the upcoming season. The Reverse Raffle was held on March 24, 2012 at Rain Tree Golf Club and raised $4,200.00 for the Scholarship and Research fund. The money’s raised here is used to support university studies and our Legacy scholarship, which by the way are due to the NOGCSA Board by May 1, 2012 for review. Applications can be had on the web site. This is a great opportunity for a family member of an active or retired member of the NOGCSA to obtain a chance at a scholarship to assist with school. Don’t wait get your applications in now. The board is working on many projects and schedules to benefit our members such as Dave Willmott chairing the Assistant of the Year Award, Brent Palich and Jason Bennett putting together the monthly meeting locations and dates. He still needs a few more location such as June location so if you wish to host a NOGCSA meeting let Brent and Jason know. Scott Brickley has been closely watching and involved in our government relations, he has been the associations watch dog on any government policy and laws that may affect the golf industry. Let Scott know of anything you hear out there. Continued on Page 4

Well this spring has certainly started in a strange way, especially for Northeast Ohio. March came with unseasonable warm weather, so nice that some clubs opted to get their spring aerification in. April doesn’t know which way to go, one day it’s 80 degrees and the next day chance of snow.

Mark Figurella and Eric Snodgrass are working on bringing back some of our social events to what they were in days past. Mark, Eric and Michelle have gotten some great pricing for the annual kids’ picnic held at Clay’s Park this coming August 11, and 12, 2012. Then on June 8, 2012 we have limited tickets for the Akron Aero’s, this is a Friday night game with fireworks afterwards, all for $7.00 per ticket. Two great events for the entire family, at a great price. Toby Lane is always looking for new members and making sure they are welcomed and informed on what the NOGCSA can do for them and their clubs. Mark Conner and Brian Fitch are the board’s newest members. Although new, they both have jumped in anywhere they can to help the entire board. Both gentlemen bring a great deal of knowledge and experience and are a tremendous asset. Ryan Miller and Morgan Timberlake are putting together a vendors day at Bunker Hill golf course on August 7, 2012. This will be a chance to enjoy a monthly meeting and view some of our vendors’ products and equipment. So you can see there is much to do with NOGCSA. Please try to make a meeting or two with some of your fellow superintendents. Then we have all the fun things you can do with your family as well. If there is anything you would like from your board please don’t hesitate to let us know, we are working for you and our association. See you at our next meeting.

Warmest Regards,

Sean P. McHugh, CGCS NOGCSA President

choice, as is Echelon or Cavalcade PQ. If you decide to

use Echelon or Cavalcade PQ, I would wait until crabgrass is 1-4 leaf (which looks to be sometime in mid-late April this year). That way the quinclorac will take out the early crabgrass, plus you won’t have to be as concerned with premature breakdown of the preemergence herbicide. If you have the materials on hand, you can also combine prodiamine with Tenacity herbicide and this will give both pre and postemergence crabgrass control. All of the above advice could be rendered unnecessary if we have a turn in the weather to more normal or below normal temperatures. However, there is nothing from the National Weather Service Climate Prediction Center (which has been remarkably accurate the past several years) to suggest that this current trend of above normal temperatures is going to end anytime soon. Plan your spring as though everything is 3-4 weeks ahead of last year. Author: Dr. Dave Gardner Crabgrass emergence picture taken by Pam Sherratt May 6th, 2010 Reprinted from the:

Unusual Early Spring & Crabgrass

As everyone has probably noticed, it’s unusually warm right now. But, how warm is It? Consider this: If the forecast holds up, by the end of this week (Friday March 23), the monthly mean temperature in Columbus, OH will be 53.5 degrees, which is the normal monthly mean for April. Also, we will have had 9 days in the 70’s, two of which will be at or just above 80 degrees, which is similar to what we saw in the whole month of April last year. In addition, if one looks out the window they will see not only Forsythia in full bloom (our indicator plant that tells us it’s time to put down preemergence herbicide) but also cherry trees and Bradford pears. Cherry trees normally do not bloom in central Ohio until the 3rd week of April. Soil temperatures this morning (March 19) are 57 degrees in central Ohio. What is unusual is that Kentucky bluegrass is just barely out of dormancy, but soil temperatures will be warm enough this week, theoretically, for crabgrass to germinate. I say theoretically because we’ve not seen crabgrass in Columbus in March before and all of the other phenological indicators are so out of alignment (no model shows cornelian cherry dogwood, forsythia, cherries, and magnolias in full bloom simultaneously). But, importantly, soil temperatures will be warm enough this week for crabgrass to germinate. Bottom line: get your preemergence out as soon as possible. Remember, even if you see some crabgrass, new plants will continue to germinate up until the first part of July, so at least the preemergence herbicide can prevent subsequent germination. Don’t rely just on a post product on these sites. Also, there is always a chance that a late frost will knock out some of the early germinating crabgrass. You should consider the use of a product that offers both pre and postemergence control. Dimension is a great

Marc Whitney , 262/786-5960 [email protected] ASGCA Sees Encouraging Signs at Golf Industry Show Domestic renovations, international growth suggest increased opportunity BROOKFIELD, Wis. – “Cautious optimism” was the key phrase coming out of the Golf Industry Show in Las Vegas last week. American Society of Golf Course Architects (ASGCA) President Rick Phelps and nearly 50 ASGCA members in attendance shared examples of increased renovation projects domestically and continued growth of the game around the world. “There is a noticeable improvement in both the amount of work being done and industry expectations moving forward compared to 12 and 24 months ago,” Phelps said. “Whether speaking with an architect, superintendent or supplier, there seems to be cautious optimism across the board.” Hopeful stories abounded through the Las Vegas Convention Center as a number of renovation projects and remodeling efforts placed on hold during the economic downturn show new signs of moving forward. “There is a sense among some that many clubs have

stabilized their memberships and are turning their attention once again to capital improvement projects, including golf course renovation,” Phelps said. GIS attendees also got their first look at the newly updated ASGCA Life Cycle Chart, including new information on the anticipated longevity of irrigation systems, and PVC and H.D.P.E. pipes. ASGCA past President Tom Marzolf presented the chart to tradeshow attendees and discussed how use of the chart – along with short- and long-term planning coordinated with an ASGCA member – can help decision-makers maximize the value of their land and materials, ensuring a positive experience for golfers and minimizing course downtime through future updates and repairs. Internationally, new guidelines are expected soon from Chinese government officials, perhaps opening the path forward for numerous projects which slowed during 2011. And as the world begins to focus on the 2016 Summer Olympic Games later this year, added attention is expected to turn to golf and its return to the Olympics.

GCSAA Education Conference a hit with attendees Increased seminar attendance, awards, speeches highlight the week There are plenty of distractions in Las Vegas, but they weren’t strong enough to deter the thousands of attendees seeking education at the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (GCSAA) Education Conference, conducted Feb. 27 – March 2. The GCSAA Education Conference continues to be a vital resource for the golf industry as 5,338 seats were filled for 106 seminars focusing on golf course management. There was an additional 63 hours of education sessions, forums and panels. "The best aspect of the education conference is the broad range of subjects that are highlighted in a relatively short amount of time," said Brandon Collins, GCSAA Class A member at the Country Club of Woodmore in Mitchellville, Md. "I find that by attending a combination of both the seminars and the sessions, I come home with a great deal of new ideas that will benefit my club." Subject matter included agronomics, business, environmental management, communications, leadership,

technology, and personnel management. The 2012 education totals represent an increase of 1.4 percent over last year in Orlando, traditionally the strongest draw in GCSAA’s rotation of venues, and 14.6 percent greater than 2010 in San Diego. It is the largest number of seminar seats sold since 2008 in Orlando. “The feedback on the education program has been tremendous,” GCSAA President Sandy Queen, CGCS, said. “I am heartened by the enthusiasm of GCSAA members to pursue professional development activities. Continual learning is a necessity to keep up in the ever-changing profession. The ultimate benefactors are facilities and their customers.” The conference was held in conjunction with the Golf Industry Show, Feb. 29 - March 1. In addition to the education offered, many other presentations and awards highlighted conference activities. Iowa State University defended its title by winning the . continued on page 11

By Bob Vavrek, senior agronomist March 16, 2012 It’s not often that turf is “wearin o the green” before St. Patrick’s Day at courses across the north-central tier of states. However, little snow cover or deep frost along with recent rainfall and unseasonably warm temperatures during early March have definitely jump-started turf growth and the golf season. No doubt, both private and public courses welcome the bonus of unanticipated cash flow from early spring green fees and cart revenue in light of the sluggish golf economy during the past several years. Golfers benefit from extra-early opportunities to play their home courses, but let’s hope they keep their expectations reasonable with respect to turf quality. Only an April Fool would demand 4th of July playing conditions on Easter Sunday in Minnesota. Irrigation systems throughout the Region are not likely to be up and running during early March and the average maintenance crew will be operating well below full strength until Memorial Day. As a result, an early opening can be quite disruptive to the turf maintenance program. For example, mild weather during late winter always makes it very difficult to predict when to apply growth regulators for Poa annua seedhead suppression. On the other hand, snow plows saw little winter action; so many superintendents have been chomping at the bit

to do something…anything on the course now that spring has sprung. A light to moderate vertical mowing operation can be well worth the effort during early spring, especially at courses where the playing surfaces are dominated by grasses that have a strong lateral growth habit. Early season verticutting encourages upright growth and the cultivation helps remove or break up mats of dead or diseased plant tissue that can smother turf by spring. Slicing through the turf canopy exposes crown tissue to sunlight, which accelerates the recovery of injury caused by snow mold that may have broken through the fungicide barrier. Furthermore, removing excess organic debris from the upper root zone will always be one of the more effective ways to manage thatch accumulation of the playing surfaces. In particular, creeping bentgrass tees that accommodate the least amount of play and tend to accumulate the most thatch will benefit the most from aggressive vertical mowing operations. Oscar Wilde said “Moderation is a fatal thing. Nothing succeeds like excess”, but I wouldn’t follow his advice when it comes to early spring verticutting. Moderation is exactly what you want when thinning out greens or fairways at a time when grass is just beginning to grow. Remember it will only take a few cold nights and hard frosts to check the growth of turf during spring, especially creeping bentgrass, which doesn’t really start to sustain vigorous topgrowth until a few consecutive days in the 80’s are accompanied by mild night temperatures. Save the aggressive vertical mowing for late spring and early summer when the above ground growth of turf hits high gear, yet don’t shy away from letting ‘er rip a bit during spring to help prevent minor concerns, such as stemmy lateral growth or excessive organic matter accumulation, from becoming major concerns when summer arrives.

Reprinted from the USGA website

A light/medium vertical mowing operation during early spring can benefit the turf in several ways. This operation removes plant debris and organic matter from the surface and upper root zone of the playing surfaces to manage thatch accumulation and discourage excessive lateral growth. In addition, the process of slicing through patches of matted, diseased turf will open up the turf canopy, expose the crowns of the plants to sunlight and accelerate the rate of recovery.
