TIFSP RT

12 Reasons Why It’s the New Bermudagrass Standard For Golf Courses, Athletic Fields and Home Lawns If you’re involved with the installation or day-to-day care and maintenance of golf courses, athletic fields, home lawns or commercial properties, you’ll really appreciate how certified TifSport compares to Tifway and the other popular bermudagrass varieties in use today.

Be sure to ask for Tifsport by name. It makes a dense, luxurious dark green turf.

Closer Mowing Heights

After three-times-per-week mowings at 1/4”, research conducted in Tifton GA shows that TifSport can tolerate closer mowing heights than Tifway and Midiron. Sod density was excellent.

Superior Turf Density

TifSport has a greater density than Tifway-about a 1 point difference on a 10 point scale. And it’s about 3 points better than common bermudagrass.

Good Lateral Growth

TifSport is more aggressive than genetically pure Tifway, especially during the cool weather months.

This may account for TifSport’s rapid grow-in and repair time.

Superior Sod Strength

TifSport has superior sod strength. This translates into improved playing conditions and resistance to divot injury in football, golf and baseball.

Excellent Traffic Tolerance

TifSport’s density, sod strength and good lateral growth rate give it a high ranking for traffic tolerance. Athletic field managers and golf course superintendents are reporting outstanding re-growth from normal wear and tear.

Upright Leaf Blade Orientation

TifSport’s leaf blade orientation and stiffness is being touted by many golf course superintendents. They feel Tifsport gives a better ball lie in cut fairways and roughs.

Impressive Leaf Texture

TifSport has a similar leaf texture to Tifway, and a finer leaf texture than most other grasses used on fairways and tees. This also helps promote good footing on athletic fields.

Dark Green Color

TifSport has a dark emerald green color versus the somewhat lighter green of Tifway and Quickstand.

Drought Tough

TifSport developer Wayne Hanna has data from a 2-year study showing that TifSport has good drought tolerance. It not only stays green longer but it also recovers faster.

Cold Tolerant

TifSport has expanded the northern limits for warm season bermudagrasses, and has remained very consistent over multiple winters in Oklahoma.

Varietal Purity

In many cases common bermuda is being sold as Tifway 419, but Tifsport’s on-going purity is carefully controlled by a rigorous set of rules and guidelines.

Vigorous Root System

This inside view of a typical TifSport plug shows TifSport’s impressive root system, stolons and rhizomes.

ith this issue of Tennessee Turfgrass being the membership directory I thought of how networking with our colleagues can help each and everyone of us have a much more successful year. Each of us has certain people we feel more comfortable talking with about challenges or problems we need to solve. Many times we can come up with a solution on our own, but there are instances when everybody needs a little help or guidance. The turf grass industry is second to none for colleagues helping one another in times of trouble. I for one know I do not have all the answers, but I do have many sources to get the right answers. Why be ashamed to ask for help. Asking for fellow colleagues help is a form of education. In an industry that is changing daily like the turf grass industry no one person has all the answers. But each of us has different experiences that may down the road be helpful to a fellow colleague with a problem or make our own operation more productive. One of the great advantages to the TTA is it is made up of all types of turf grass industry people. Yes golf course people make a big part of the TTA, but the TTA also has landscape people, sports turf people, and many vendors of all aspects of the turf grass industry. This issue is a great tool for finding colleagues that can help you or guide you in the right direction to solve your problems and make you even more successful.

Until next time,

or those of you who do not know, my mother passed away suddenly on March 14. Let me first thank all of you who kept me and my family in your thoughts and prayers. I have received an overwhelming amount of condolences, and I can’t tell you what it means at a time like this.

She was undoubtedly one of the most amazing women you would ever meet. Her beauty was so much

more than skin deep. She lit up the room when she entered it. Her laugh was infectious and her radiant smile and stunning blue eyes drew you in. She was an inspiration to her children, her husband, and every stranger along the way. She lived what she spoke and was gracious and kind.

She was a lady, a friend and a comforter. She was a Christian—the real kind. She was compassionate and loving. She volunteered with the sick and the elderly, and devoted time to help animals at the shelter. She was graceful and strong. A steel magnolia. She was my best friend, my everything. She was the wind beneath my wings.

One day, I want to be just like her. So should we all. I love you, Mom.

THE BEST GREENS AREN’T BUILT. THEY’RE MAINTAINED.

No machine maintains greens better than the John Deere 2500 Tri-Plex Greens Mower. After years of extensive testing feedback from literally thousands of superintendents worldwide, the 2500 has been engineered to give an exceptional quality of cut, the utmost in operator comfort, and the highest level of serviceability. Cut is king on the 2500. The cutting unit suspension carries the weight of the lift arms and grass catchers on the traction unit instead of the cutting unit. The 2500 also has the lowest psi of any tri-plex greens mower. And all controls are conveniently located at the operator’s fingertips. For a better look at the 2500, call your local John Deere distributor.

I N F O RMA T I O N A B O U T T V S T MA The Tennessee Valley Sports Turf Managers Association (TVSTMA) is a group of people located throughout Northern Alabama, Southern Kentucky and Tennessee. This group consists of groundskeepers, park and recreation directors, Turfgrass managers, maintenance personnel, commercial members, and anyone interested in Turfgrass and the ability to make fields playable and safe. The TVSTMA is the local chapter of the Sports Turf Managers Association (STMA), which is a national organization. The TVSTMA is a non-profit organization that through the use of educational and on-field seminars, allows members to receive knowledge regarding Turfgrass and any subjects that are related to athletics. The TVSTMA welcomes any person who wants to gain knowledge about athletic fields and how to manage them to make them safe and playable.

The TVSTMA was formed in 1997 through a collective effort of professional people who had a desire to increase the knowledge base about sports fields.

Through this organization, the TVSTMA chapter was formed and thus, the chapter became recognized on the national level. This chapter has grown from 35 members to over 250 members as of 2002. With an increasing presence in the communities located throughout the tri-state area, and in conjunction with the Tennessee Turfgrass Association, the TVSTMA is a growing chapter. We would like to encourage all members to stay actively involved in the field and educational seminars. T

ACRONYMS 101

By Austin Bendheim, Executive Director TTC, TTA, TGCSA, ETGCSA, MTGCSA, MAGCSA

W

acronym: (n) a word formed from the first (or first few) letters of several words ebster didn’t

know the half of it when he included this one in the dictionary.

Come to think of it, I didn’t know the half of it when I began working for you in November, 2000. Sure, it was explained to me. I thought I understood, but really all I ended up with was a bowl of alphabet soup. I had to swim in this concoction before I really understood it, and now it occurs to me that you, the membership, could possibly be drowning in it. I am here to provide you with the water wings necessary for survival and understanding.

Please be sure to refer to the charts provided. They will help as we begin this journey of acronym understanding. Note the complete names of the Associations as illustrated in the accompanying graph. This will help guide you, as after the initial definition, I will use only the acronyms while giving this lesson.

Think of it as being in Spanish class and your teacher won’t let you speak English. You learn so much faster, don’t you?!

Exactly.

For those of you who do not know, I am the Executive Director for the Tennessee Turfgrass Council (TTC), Tennessee Turfgrass Association (TTA), Tennessee Golf Course Superintendents Association (TGCSA), East Tennessee Golf Course Superintendents Association (ETGCSA), Middle Tennessee Golf Course Superintendents Association (MTGCSA), and Memphis Area Golf Course Superintendents Association (MAGCSA). The tasks necessary to accomplish this job are done from a cubicle about the size of an extended cab in an F350. Each Association has its own bank account, its own meeting announcements, sponsorships, and operates independently of the others. That being said, lets evaluate the relationships between them.

At the very top of the graph, you see the Golf House Tennessee/Tennessee Golf Association oval, which is where my office is. Because the Turfgrass industry is so very important to the golf profession, the TTA is housed under the same roof as the TGA, and the Tennessee Golf Foundation(TGF). Actually, I am “employed” by the TGA, since my paychecks are written from their account. This brings us to the TTC.

The TTC is basically a holding zone for funds paid to facilitate my position. My position is funded by contributions

14

from the TTA, ETGCSA, MTGCSA, and MAGCSA (the regional associations do this directly, not through the TGCSA). Funds are deposited into the TTC account, and then paid out of that account as I receive a monthly invoice from TGA. This invoice includes my wages, insurance, and a breakdown of the costs of any mailings I have sent out from the different Associations.

If you look below the TTC on the graph, you will see two ovals side by side. The TTA and the TGCSA are peers. Being a member of one does not mean that you are a member of the other. You know that Conference and Trade Show you attend in January? Well, that is for the TTA. When you pay your dues for that show, it does not mean that you have renewed your dues for your local golf course superintendent association. More importantly, it does not mean that you have fulfilled your obligation to the GCSAA to belong to an affiliated chapter. What it does mean is that you are a proud member of the TTA, and are now eligible to receive this beautiful and informative 4-Color Magazine.

The TGCSA is the only affiliated chapter of the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (GCSAA) in Tennessee. You must belong to this Association, or one of another state to comply with the requirements of the GCSAA. In Tennessee, we are fortunate to have broken into three regional associations: ETGCSA, MTGCSA, and MAGCSA. The only way to become a member of the TGCSA is to become a member of one of these regional associations. By filling out the application, and making payment to the APPROPRIATE REGIONAL ASSOCIATION, you are automatically a member of the TGCSA, thus being a member of an affiliated chapter of the GCSAA, and complying with the National requirements. The individual regional chapters are not themselves affiliated associations of the GCSAA. They are only facilitators to the TGCSA.

As a unit, the TGCSA acts more as a conduit between the Regional Associations and the GCSAA than as an active association. There is only one meeting a year, lasting approximately 15-20 minutes during the TTA Conference and Trade Show. For each of the Regional Associations, however, there are approximately six meetings a year, including a Scholarship and Research Tournament. As I tend to the needs of each of the Regional Associations, I have become increasingly aware that

they are extremely similar in policy and execution. They just have three different bank accounts, schedules and speakers.

They are all reaching for the same goals and offering their members a venue for education, strategy, and maybe even a little enjoyment on the side! And let’s not forget the Pesticide Recertification Points!!

For all of these Associations to succeed, it is imperative that we embrace a philosophy of cohesion. As Vince Lombardi said, “The achievements of an organization are the result of the combined effort of each individual.” For us, the “individual” is not only each member within an Association, but each Association operating under the TTC umbrella.

Hopefully, this has helped some of you to comprehend our own little Scrabble board of Associations. So next time you call the office and I answer the phone with: “TTC, this is Austin.” You won’t hang up on me, because you know that somewhere in the alphabet soup of the TTC, is the Executive Director of your acronym!

Pesticide Applicator Certification Information Tennessee law requires certification for anyone applying, buying or selling a restricted-use pesticide. It also requires commercial certification for all pest control technicians unless they work under the direct supervision of a certified person. The application of pesticides for a fee requires licensing and a pest control charter.

Commercial Certification: Certification examinations are given in Jackson, Knoxville, Memphis, and Nashville. Testing dates vary by location and you must fill out the Prepay Certification Exam Form and pay in advance before testing. Payment will not be accepted on site.

The Blenders Choice Why do more blenders of quality fertilizers choose Nitroform® or Nutralene® as their premier nitrogen source?

They know that nitrogen is crucial to effectively manage turf and ornamentals and that the fine tuned, controlled release mechanisms in Nitroform and Nutralene give plants the nitrogen they require when they require it, season long.

Nitroform and Nutralene are the blenders choice because of these many benefits: Growth is sustained and controlled, properly balanced between roots and top growth. ■ No growth flushes after heavy rains or due to granule breakage during handling or application. ■ Stronger plants resist damage from diseases, weeds, insects, drought and traffic. ■ Vigorous, controlled growth and color with fewer grass clippings. ■ Non-burning. ■ Excess nitrogen does not find its way into ground and surface waters.

■

The next time you buy fertilizer, remember to look for blends that display the original Nitroform or Nutralene logo, it’s your assurance of quality nitrogen. For the name of a blender in your region contact us at 1-888-370-1874.

Nu-Gro Technologies, Inc. 2680 Horizon Drive SE, Suite F5, Grand Rapids, MI 49546 www.nugrotech.com Nitroform and Nutralene are registered trademarks of Nu-Gro America Corporation

SECTION 3 No committee shall have the power to bind or obligate the TTA, the Board of Directors or its Officers to any contract or payment of any kind unless given such authority, on record, by the Board of Directors.

SECTION 4 It shall be the privilege of any and all Past Presidents of this Association to attend any meeting of the Board of Directors and Executive Committee in an advisory capacity. Past Presidents will not be able to vote during these meetings.
