Recently I attended a meeting that involved watching a segment of a leadership seminar. My position involves many hours in meetings and there is always some bit of information that I retain and use in some form or fashion. This particular meeting really made me think about the golf course operations at the facilities that I manage as well as our industry as a whole. The gist of the clip was, “Why are some companies, organizations, or individuals so successful or how do they manage to lead their industry?” The mod-
erator talked about how Apple outcompetes its competition, or why Dr. Martin Luther King became the voice of a movement, or how the Wright Brothers became the first to fly. He stated there are three components to business: “What”, “How”, and “Why”. Most companies will market the what or the how, but often neglect the why. Perhaps they don’t exactly understand the why as they are too concerned chasing the what, which is typically profits. As an example he talked about the Wright Brothers as compared to
Samuel Peirpont Langley. Who is Samuel Pierpont Langley you ask? Well, he was the individual commissioned by the War Department to create a “flying machine” in the late 1800’s. Mr. Langley held a seat with the Harvard Board of Trustees and a position with the Smithsonian Institute. He hired the most brilliant minds and was afforded every resource at his disposal to create a machine to fly. Wilbur and Orville Wright, on the other hand, had no college education, not an ounce of notoriety, and they used the proceeds from their bicycle shop to finance (Continued on page 2)
2013 Al Glaze Memorial Scholarship And Research Tournament by Brian Daum This year’s Al Glaze Memorial Scholarship and Research Golf Tournament is being held at the newly remodeled San Luis Obispo Country Club on July 15, 2013. You are going to want to dust off your golf and party shoes, because this year it’s going to get
crazy! Bring everyone you know to the Country Club for a fun filled day of fellowship, food, golf, & prizes….but wait there’s more. The GCSACC will be giving away much deserved Scholarships AND Joe Tompkins CGCS at SLOCC is retiring from the industry after entering
it back in the mid 70’s. He’s spent the last 18 years at SLOCC and is looking forward to passing the reigns off to longtime Assistant Paul Barr. Joe has been a Superintendent at Sunnyside, Belmont and San Luis Obispo Country Club over the last 34 years in which 25 (Continued on page 7)

their project that they believed would change the world! Mr. Langley wanted fame and fortune and once the Wright Brother’s succeeded, he simply gave up. He did not become notorious or rich and so he quit. The point of the seminar was that to be successful, we must get people to believe what we believe, not just to attain the what. People will work for a paycheck for anyone, but if they share a belief they will become loyal to you and work with their blood, sweat, and tears to achieve goals. As I watched this gentleman explain his theories, I thought about
our association and our industry. We are the leaders for our staff and members of a leadership team at each of our facilities. The past decade has presented opportunities for golf industry leaders to shine and persevere through the economic adversity, while keeping the ultimate goal in mind. The question is, “What is that ultimate goal?” After the meeting, I began to ask myself this same question. Is my goal to grow the most perfect plants possible, to have the fastest greens, or to have the most profits at the end of the year? I believe it is my job to help facilitate an experience for each customer that walks through our doors and that starts with the men and women that come to work with me. Based upon those experiences, I hope people develop quality memories that will remain with them for a lifetime to be recalled time and time again. I also
believe that each of us has the job of helping one another as a support group when any of our other members need assistance. That is the beauty of the GCSAA and our chapter! Through my time on the Board I have seen this support group in action as your Board members strive to provide quality programs and services to each of our members. We all hope that you believe that you are receiving a great value from your membership to enhance your professional and personal goals. If this is not the case please drop me a line and let me know, so that we can better perform our duties to re-instate your belief in our chapter. Enjoy the rest of the spring weather and I will see you at the Al Glaze Memorial Scholarship and Research Tournament in July. Best wishes for the summer ahead!

How to Implement a Golf Course Drought Contingency Plan By Tennessee McBroom
By Tennessee McBroom
After a second year of low rainfall, and what started out as a promising outlook, Central California has taken a dry turn leaving rivers, reservoirs and Superintendents thirsty in 2013. November/ December 2012 began on pace with average totals, as January/ February fizzled with lackluster results leaving the March Miracle at long action odds that never paid. Near the Central Coast, rainfall totals are anywhere from 30-50% of our annual average, tracking historic lows dating back to 1922. The near zero runoff this year was the culprit of slow moving systems with light moisture totals this past winter producing a soak rather than the runoff needed for stream and river production. The lasting effects are visible today with many reservoir levels at critically low-levels around the entire State of California. The snow pack in the Sierra Mountains has been impacted with lows not seen since 1977 with current readings at 3% of normal as of May 1st. Now as low rainfall totals create the latest challenge for the golf business in California, it’s important to be able to process the information, organize it, and adapt a plan to deal with current and future water supply restrictions. It was recommended by Mike McCullough back in 2003 at a Northern California Superintendent Meeting that (Continued on page 10)

Given the fluctuating conditions of the state’s water resources, establishing a drought contingency plan should be a top priority for every golf course in California. Below is a checklist of items to be included in a drought contingency plan. Typically drought restrictions have four stages: Drought Watch – up to 10% voluntary reduction, Drought Alert – 20% (mandatory), Drought Critical – up to 40% (mandatory), Drought Emergency – more than 40% (mandatory). Determining Use and Reductions:
Determine how much water is used on the golf course each year (usually reported in Acre Feet).
Determine the total irrigated area (usually reported as Acres) of the property.
Determine the total number of irrigated turf acres.
Determine the percent water demand by each area of the golf course (Example below).

Encourage deep and infrequent irrigation cycles
Utilize proper cultural practices that encourage vertical water movement
Clean off equipment with pressurized air instead of water
Utilize wetting agents to maximize the effectiveness of the water that is applied (Continued on page 4)

TEE-OFF News
Drought Contingency Plan Continued from page 3 Utilize more hand watering rather than turning on irriga-
tion heads Golf Courses that utilize recycled water will also see a reduction in the amount of water they can use in a drought. A reduction in potable supplies is also a reduction in the amount that can be recycled. Courses should plan for a small reduction in the amount delivered to the course. Consult with the wastewater treatment plant operators to get an estimate of approximate reduction and implement the corresponding drought contingency measures. Golf Courses that utilize groundwater and/or surface water for their irrigation needs should also consider implementing a voluntary reduction of irrigation needs equal to or slightly less than the restrictions implemented in the immediate area. All sources of water are vital during droughts and golf courses need to show restraint during these times to demonstrate responsible resource management. Tips to Share with Golfers and Members: Post the drought notice from the water provider in a high traffic area regarding the percent reduction or water restrictions.
Post the adopted written drought contingency plan for the golf course in a high traffic area. Utilize as-builts of the irrigation system to highlight areas that have been selected for a reduction in irrigation. Color code various areas to the illustrate the percent reduction (i.e. 10% reduction – areas highlighted in green, 20% reduction – areas highlighted in orange, 40% reduction – areas highlighted in blue, greater than 50% reduction – areas highlighted in red). Post these photos/posters in high traffic areas. If as-builts are not available, use an aerial photo of the course or digital pictures of each hole and highlight the reductions with different color highlighters, pins, etc. Inform golfers that they will see a reduction in course conditions (i.e. certain areas will start to become drier and off color, etc.) especially those in the highlighted areas listed above. Be prepared to give interviews to media regarding the steps your facility has taken to address the drought.

Around the Green by Mike Cline Spring is in full bloom and we aren’t that far away from Summer so I know everyone is getting geared up for our toughest season of the year. There have been quite a few changes since we last published our Around the Green article. Luckily all of the changes have been good, so we can keep the positive momentum going. Jon Christensen, Sierra Golf Management reports that they will be taking over the operations of Mace Meadows Golf Course in Pioneer California on a seasonal contract of up to 10 months per year. In addition to this, they will also be taking over Apple Valley Country Club in Apple Valley California. Talk about 2 extremes of the environmental spectrum; this should be fun to watch. Superintendent Joe Tompkins, San Luis Obispo Golf and Country Club announced his retirement effective somewhere around May 15, 2013. Joe won’t be walking away totally as he will remain on the course in a very limited way as a consultant aiding in the transition to the new superintendent. To that point, I would like to announce that Paul Bar, Joe’s assistant for several years will be moving into the Superintendents chair effective May 17th. Paul’s knowledge of the course should make for an easy transition and I’m sure the course won’t skip a beat and will be ready for the Al Glaze Scholarship Tournament on July 15th. Superintendent Troy Thompson, Valley Oaks Golf Course and the Central Chapters
Vice President has announced he will be moving to Green River Golf Course in Corona California to begin work on the total remodel of the property. Troy reports that his old job at Valley Oaks is posted and applicants need to get busy as this job will fill fairly quickly. Touchstone Golf Management has taken over the day to day operations of Blacklake Golf Course in Nipomo California and their first act of business was to pull Superintendent Mike Scott out of his resting state and call on his knowledge of the property and irrigation to start bringing this wonderful golf property back. As Mike told me, you could come to work 24/7 and still wouldn’t have enough time to get everything done. I have also heard Craig Johnson, Superintendent at Belmont Country Club has a new assistant superintendent on board by the name of, Matt Nisbett. Matt is very new to the world of golf but a fast learner and Craig is expecting good things as Matt grows in experience. Our featured Superintendent this issue is Andy Cordova, of Cypress Ridge Golf Course, in Arroyo Grande. Without further time wasted, let’s find out 10 Things You Didn’t Know about Superintendent Andy Cordova First job in golf? I grew up in Fall River, California so my first job in golf was washing golf carts at Fall River Golf Course at the age of 14. What was your first management job in golf?
I attended Cal Poly to study turf science and got a job at Cypress Ridge Golf Course. My first management job in golf was in 2003 when I was named Weekend Lead Worker at the course. From there, I was elevated to Assistant Superintendent in 2005. What do you like to do when you’re not at work? When I’m not at work I have 3 things I really like to do. I play softball a lot. Right now I play on 3 different teams on 3 different nights so lots of softball. On the other nights, I love to BBQ and hang out with friends and finally, I love to play golf, go figure. Who is your favorite sports team and why? My favorite sports team would have to be the San Francisco Giants. Since I grew up in Fall River, which for those of you who don’t know, is in northeastern California and the Giants were like the closest team to us so that’s why they are my team. If you could pick one meal, what would it be? My favorite meal is a big juicy Rib Eye Steak, medium raw, maybe even a little bloody with a baked potato and asparagus. What’s your favorite part of being a golf course superintendent? My favorite part of the job is (Continued on page 8)

Al Glaze Memorial Scholarship & Research Continued from page 1 of those he held a CGCS status. He served as President and Board of Director for the GCSACC and is counting down the Joe Tompkins, CGCS days to not working 6 days a week anymore. He plans on spending his retirement enjoying cooking, gardening, golfing and reading! Joe…we would like to not only thank you and Paul in advance for opening up beautiful San Luis Obispo Country Club for us hackers but to also say thank you for all your hard work and dedication to the industry and GCSACC. Enjoy retirement and know…You will be greatly missed!
This will be the 31st year for the Al Glaze Memorial Scholarship & Research Tournament. The Tournament is named after one of the founders of the GCSACC as well as the California GCSA Chapter. Al Glaze was an icon in the golf course superintendent industry and not only helped with the construction of SLO Country Club but served as superintendent for 15 years and then GM for another 5. Al was an active member of the Central California Chapter until his death in 2002. The Annual Scholarship & Research Tournament was renamed the next year to the Al Glaze Memorial Scholarship & Research Tournament. This tournament is a tribute to the dedication that Al had for the Golf Course Superintendent Industry. He promoted and mentored many superintendents who to this date continue in this industry. Al would encourage

young members to run for office in the chapter and once they did he would continue to encourage them. He acted as the host, along with his wife Marie, at all the Central California Christmas parties. He was interviewed by Tom Elliott just prior to his death and Tom asked Al what he was most proud of in his long and distinguished career. He said without hesitation, “The organizing and establishment of the Central Chapter.” That says it all! Al’s legacy will continue with this tournament. The scholarships to help promote the young people entering our industry and the opportunity for all our members to get together for a common goal. Don’t forget to get your team registered early. We hope to fill the field at this year’s AL GLAZE MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP & RESEARCH TOURNAMENT.

Around the Green Continued from page 6 being outdoors but even more than that is being around the game of golf. I love everything about the sport and being involved is my dream job. What’s your least favorite part of being a golf course superintendent? My least favorite part of the job would be those times of the year when you have to put in the super long hours to get the job done. Luckily it’s not every day so you just have to suck it up on occasion. What’s your favorite band? My favorite band is or maybe I should say my favorite singer is
George Strait. What’s your favorite song? My favorite song is Pretty Good at Drinking Beer by Bill Currington and anyone who knows Andy would not find that hard to believe. What’s your favorite movie? My favorite movie is Top Gun, and I live my life by asking what would Maverick do? Well it’s going to be 103 degrees today so I will end this edition of our member’s article, but if you hear anything that should be reported, give me a call or drop me an E-Mail and I’ll see you “Around the Green”.

From the Field Jeff Jensen GCSAA Field Staff
The 2013 Rounds 4 Research auction is right around the corner and we still are in need of donations from Central California GCSA facilities. The Jeff Jensen first auction is scheduled for June 6-16 in conjunction with the U.S. Open and the second auction is scheduled for Aug. 111 revolving around the PGA Championship. As you may be aware, the Rounds 4 Research program was designed to address a critical shortage in turfgrass research funding by auctioning donated rounds of golf online. The program is administered by the Environmental Institute for Golf (EIFG) and presented in partnership with Toro. EIFG is the philanthropic organization of the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America. Rounds 4 Research allows GCSAA chapters and turfgrass foundations to participate as fundraising partners with the 80% of proceeds from the auctioned rounds going back to those organizations. In this way, these organizations can direct the proceeds to specific projects that will have the most significant impact in their local areas. The remaining 20% of proceeds go to operating costs involved with the management and marketing of the program. In addition to research, chapters may use funds for advocacy, education, scholarships and environmental programs. Biddingforgood.com is online auction platform assisting Rounds 4 Research. Biddingfor-
good.com has a database of 650,000 active users. In addition to the marketing assistance being provided by the USGA and PGA of America, Rounds 4 Research is being promoted through social media, press releases and various allied golf organizations with a specific focus on state golf associations who have the most direct access to golfers. To donate a round, please visit www.rounds4research.com and click on the donate button in the upper right hand corner. Fill out the facility, contact, donation information, description, redemption and proceeds blocks. Make sure to indicate the chapter or foundation you want the funds to go to. You may
also put restrictions on the rounds in this area including days, times, attire, etc. Download a course photo and logo and then send in a certificate to EIFG or they can create one for you. The entire process takes approximately 10 minutes and you will be assisting your chapter in raising funds for important research and education. If you have any questions concerning the program, please donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hesitate to contact me at jjensen@gcsaa.org or follow me on Twitter @GCSAA_SW. Enjoy the great spring weather and I hope to see you at an upcoming event.

Working Toward Audubon Certification By Steven Showers As a golf course superintendent working towards certification with the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program (ACSP) for golf, it is sometimes difficult to recruit active helpers for the various projects that are required for certification. When it came time for us to create our wildlife inventory section of the Wildlife and Habitat Management section of the certification process, I was lucky enough to find a relatively expert amateur bird watcher. He is a regular golfer who was able to identify a number of the bird species on the course. If he were unable to get a definite identification of a bird he would report the general location of the sighting and a brief description of the bird to me. I would then make a concerted effort to try and sight the bird again; it does seem that once a bird becomes comfortable in a certain area of the course it often returns. In some cases I was able to get a photograph of the bird and in other cases together we were able to establish a relatively accurate description of the birds markings, size and shape. With this information I was able utilize the website - www.whatbird.com to get a positive identification of the bird. At Airways Golf Course we do not have any established lakes or other body of water to help attract wildlife to the course, however there are a surprising number of birds and mammals who frequent the course. Non bird mammals found on the course include skunks, eastern fox squirrels, ground squirrels, gray foxes, bats and of course pocket gophers. Another relatively easy requirement for certification is performing and documenting a case study on your golf course. We
elected to create a small water feature to see if we could encourage any new wildlife to the course. We selected an area located left of #2 fairway, just out of bounds and near our largest brush pile, the location has oleander bushes on the east side. We submerged the bottom, about one-foot, of an old plastic drum in the ground and placed rocks and branches around it to create an area where wildlife could find water. The only on-going maintenance required is maintaining the water level during the summer months. We have noted a number of bird species utilizing the small water feature including doves, pigeons, and sparrows in the area. Eastern fox squirrels (tree squirrels) frequent the area often and we have also noted the occasional dragonfly and butterfly near the small water hole. There are six categories that must be achieved in order to gain certification with the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program for Golf Courses. So far we have achieved three of the six here at Airways, Environmental Planning, Water Conservation and Water Quality Management. We have additionally submitted two of the three remaining categories, Wildlife and Habitat Management and Chemical Use Reduction and Safety as well as our case study. We submitted these categories in January of this year and have not heard back yet regarding whether or not we have achieved success yet. The Outreach and Education portion of the process is nearly complete and I look forward to achieving full certification by the end of the year, if all goes well.
“The Thirst for a Good Plan”
Continued from page 3 Superintendents need a plan for hard times, as without a proper plan it can be very difficult to deal with a drought when voluntary and mandatory water supply restrictions take place. Mr. McCullough developed the “How to Implement a Golf Course Drought Contingency Plan” which included the information that could define who, what, when, why, and how to proceed during severe drought conditions. Having the critical data documented i.e. annual average usage in acre feet, optimal and current well/ source production, properly working meters/totalizers, irrigated property acres and a priority list of usage will be helpful when such challenges present itself. Having a Drought Contingency Plan in place enables Superintendents to provide the sound information to Green Committees, Owners and Operators to assist in making the best decisions during dire water supply restrictions. The Drought Contingency Plan is provided below and can be used as a template to build current/ future plans for your own facilities. No one can argue that a drought provides some of the best firm and fast conditions for golf, and not always the preferred set of circumstances but when the challenge of water supply restrictions presents itself, Superintendents are great forward thinkers and will continue to provide results. In doing so, review your short/long term plan and implement a Drought Contingency Plan if needed to continue the success and sustainability of your precious water resources. Cheers to a prosperous and successful 2013!

Satellites vs Low Voltage Two Wire Systems By Kevin Eppich, Turf Star Irrigation Sales & Service
The choices available to golf courses when it comes to irrigation control systems are many in this day and age. I am asked from time to time, what is the best solution for my golf course satellites or the low voltage two-wire system. The answer is all of the major manufacturers make both kinds of systems and both systems will do the job. The real question is what kind of system is best for your golf course, site, and budget. There are pros and cons to both, you just need to decide what is best for your golf course. The main difference is traditional satellite systems require 110 or 220 volts to power the satellites which increases the installation cost in the amount of wire purchased to install the system. However, with a two wire system the risk of single point source of failure is always present. The power and communication is accomplished within one cable, however, the number of splices on the critical communication cable is increased. When the computer is down or the communication cable is cut everything down-stream is down as well and the only way to turn on sprinklers at this point is with a
sprinkler key. The two-wire systems are underground , so satellites are no longer seen on the golf course and are a better option on sites that are at risk to floods or vandalism. The traditional satellite systems offer more redundancy when it comes to accessing your irrigation system. A two-wire system can turn on sprinklers through the central computer, hand held radios or cell phone if your computer is hooked up to the internet with a high speed connection. Satellite systems can access your sprinklers with these methods as well. Satellites can also turn on sprinklers from the satellite timing mechanism and stations switches if they are equipped with station switches. Satellite systems offer more levels of access to the system, which may or may not be important to you and your golf course. The good news is technology continues to roll-on, the choices are out there, you just need to decide what option
is best for your course. Get in touch with an irrigation consultant or your local irrigation representative to see what is best for your site.
