The Official Publication of the Tennessee Turfgrass Association and the Tennessee Valley Sports Turf Managers Association

Tennessee Turfgrass is the official publication of The Tennessee Turfgrass Association 400 Franklin Road Franklin, Tennessee 37069 (615) 591-8286 tnturfgrassassn@aol.com

reetings from west Tennessee! I hope everyone is doing well and looking forward to a great 2005 season. Most of us in the western part of the state have had a very wet beginning of the year. Maybe we’ll get lucky during the rest of the year and get rain only on Mondays or Tuesdays… or, for the golf courses that are closed on Mondays, rain on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Either way, I hope for a great season for everyone. You have in your hands the ever-coveted and eagerly awaited TTA/TVSTMA Resource Guide for 2005. Yes, you possess not only one of the best publications in the business, but also a listing of TTA and TVSTMA members, as well as a listing of the best vendors in the industry. Keep your 2005 Resource Guide handy as a quick reference for names, telephone numbers, and addresses for people you will likely want to contact during the coming year. Membership in TTA has never been more valuable than it is today. First of all, we are non-profit, with all our energies targeted towards turfgrass education, scholarship, and research. This magazine, available to members, is another benefit. I think you would agree that it has improved immeasurably over the last few years and it keeps getting better. TTA keeps its members up to date on state pesticide-point requirements and offers a wide range of seminars to satisfy those requirements. Continuing education is offered for other certification requirements, as well. Would you, a member of your family, or a professional colleague like to have scholarship money to help with higher education? TTA has developed a scholarship program to assist with the ever-rising cost of secondary education. The University of Tennessee’s turfgrass program is becoming nationally renowned. All of the academic leaders in the UT system make themselves available to us and have very valuable, timely technical data to help us grow better turf. Your membership in TTA helps our association play a major role in research, extension and other university endeavors. TTA stages its annual conference every January, providing many opportunities in education, networking and making vendor contacts. Many turf managers consider this one opportunity the most important event of the year. With higher expectations put on us, with fewer resources from which to pull, there has never been a more important time to support ourselves and each other through an organization like TTA.

All the features of the ProPlus™ with our new “Flow Shut-Off” make the SuperPro™ the only rotor you will ever want to use. Changing nozzles has never been easier: With the shut off in the off position the riser stays up allowing for quick and easy nozzle changes. Tired of getting wet while adjusting sprinklers? The SuperPro allows you to turn rotors off while you set or reset the others. Waiting for the other half of the sod to be installed? No need to shut off the entire zone; the SuperPros can be turned on individually as sod is installed. You can count on simplicity, versatility & dependability in every K-Rain product.

K-Rain SuperPro with Flow Shut-off… The Next Generation of Professional Rotors. 1640 Australian Avenue, Riviera Beach, FL 33404 561-844 1002 Fax: 561-842 9493 Web: www.krain.com © 2004 K-Rain Manufacturing Corp.

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 170 members as of 2005. 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 28

Presenting a revolutionary bluegrass variety that thrives in Tennessee. Thermal Blueis not like other bluegrasses. Extensive testing at the University of Tennessee proves that Thermal Blue performs better than other bluegrasses in the hot, humid conditions of a Tennessee summer. Combining the heat tolerance of turf-type tall fescue with the fine qualities of a Kentucky bluegrass, Thermal Blue resists brown patch and spreads with rhizomes. Thermal Blue also shows excellent shade tolerance and can be used where Bermuda grass does not persist.

Thermal Blue is the first in the Hybrid Bluegrass Series™, Scotts’ commitment to provide turf managers truly unique turf grass varieties. For bluegrass that will pay off in Tennessee, put your money on Thermal Blue.

The Association may indemnify and advance expenses to any employee or agent of the Association who is not a Director or Officer (and his/her heirs, executors and administrators) to the same extent as to a Director or Officer, if the Board of Directors determines that to do so is in the best interests of the Association.

SECTION 3

The Association may maintain insurance, at its expense to protect itself and any individual who is or was a Director, Officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, is or was serving at its request as a Director, Officer, employee or agent of another corporation against any expense, liability or loss whether or not the Association would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the Tennessee Non-profit Corporation Act, as it may be amended from time to time.

What

is at the root of the success of so many PGA golf courses in America? The roots, literally.

Course superintendents know that strong roots make great turf. But it is the ingredients in the fertilizers they choose that make all the difference.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why top-flight superintendents, and the premium fertilizer blenders they buy from, depend on Nu-Gro Technologies more than anyone else. In fact, Nu-Gro Technologies is the leading manufacturer and marketer of slow and controlled release nitrogen in the world. Our 50-year history is rooted in better science and our success comes from offering the best technology in nitrogen nutrition. If you want better turf, get to the root of the matter. Insist on Nitroform, Nutralene or IB nitrogen from Nu-Gro Technologies in your blends.
