F R O M T H E T TA P R E S I D E N T Jay Willis
A Memorable SPRING again, everybody! As West Tennessee experiences historic flooding along the Mississippi River and its tributaries, parts of East Tennessee are still cleaning up from recent tornadoes. Speaking on behalf of the TTA board and its members, our thoughts and prayers go out to all individuals who have suffered from this spring’s natural disasters across the Southeast. I can only imagine what they are going through right now. The TTA board met recently in Nashville to prepare for the next Conference and Trade Show in January. With an enormous amount of work from the TTA Conference and Trade Show Committee, the speaker lineup is very close to being completed. As always, the board looks to find ways to increase your educational and enjoyment experience at the conference. In this copy of Tennessee Turfgrass, you will find our annual Membership Directory. This is a great source to network outside of the Conference and to connect with industry peers that you may be able to help out and/or use their expertise to help you accomplish a goal. While reading through the member list, take note if you notice peers who are not listed but who could benefit from being a member of the TTA. Help us spread the word about the growth of our association and our Conference and Trade Show. With your help, we can continue to grow and prosper to become the premier conference in the Southeast. Until next time, have a great summer!

GETTING THROUGH
SUMMER have had quite a start to the summer season. The volatile weather has included very strong damaging storms and unseasonably warm temperatures. The combination will make for some interesting situations for us all as the summer progresses. Take the time to work through possible scenarios that could happen with disease, insect control, plant health, etc., so you can better prepare yourself for any challenges that arise. I have always found that when the weather is out of the ordinary, trouble is always around the corner when it comes to managing the turf. Looking at scenarios and solutions early can help alleviate larger problems down the road and keep the maintenance costs down. A good way to help gather information is to network among your peers. Valuable knowledge can be gathered through the experience of others. And don’t forget, you have the ability yourself to help others within our industry by networking and outreaching. Take the time to help whenever you can, as it is part of our core purpose and mission within our organization. Techniques and practices that may seem routine to you may be a new and innovative way for someone else to make positive improvements. Also keep in mind that we are an evolving industry with continuous research and innovations. The best way to maintain your value as an employee and increase your professional stock is to take advantage of the continuous education our organization offers. Make plans to attend our field days whenever they are offered to help further your knowledge! It looks like another very warm summer — stay cool!

FROM THE TGCSA PRESIDENT Shelia Finney
NEWS FROM THE TGCSA summer, everyone! Last year was a horrible summer for everyone. If the flood didn’t get you, the heat did. It still amazes me how quickly we were able to get back to normal operating mode here at Gaylord Springs, and yet I know that there are many people still struggling with the aftermath of the flooding. I have been praying that this year would be kinder to everyone, both those of us in turfgrass and everyone else. It looks as though the year is shaping up to be challenging. This spring certainly has been changeable, with 20-degree temperature swings in the high in just a day. The heavy rains and tornadoes have brought damage to many courses and friends. I can only hope that the summer will be more predictable and gentle. I was asked several weeks ago an interesting question: “What value does being a member of an association bring back to the facility, and what does it mean to you?” After taking some time to think about it, I realized that being a member of an association makes this job we do much more than “just a job.” I remember the first jobs that I had: I went in, did what I was told and took a paycheck home for my efforts. Being a part of an association, however, made my job of being a superintendent a profession and a passion. It’s being a part of something bigger than yourself. Being a member gives you access to other people who have ideas that can solve your problems. Vendors and superintendents are some of the most resourceful and creative people I know. They never let anything stop them from providing a great product for their guests. Membership also gives you access to education and research that are pertinent to your profession and that are easy to find — not only out there on the internet, but right here at home. UT is doing wonderful work every day for us. Call the UT researchers and ask questions; they are always there to help us. You also become a part of a big family that cares about the same things that you do and is going through many of the same
Happy
things you are. I was so touched by all the people last year who came to physically help us recover from the flood and the many people who called just to check up on me. Even though we all technically are in competition with each other for the same clients, I’ve never known a superintendent who wouldn’t go and help someone that asked for help. I’ve called superintendents in other parts of the country (or out of the country) that I didn’t know, and they never hesitated to take the time to answer my questions. In short, being a part of an association makes you much more valuable to your facility because you have the knowledge and support of everyone out there doing the same job. This “job” of being a superintendent gets under your skin; it becomes a part of who you are, a part of your self-identity. I noticed the other day, when I was in a group of new people and we were introducing ourselves, they all said, “I work at XYC, and I do ABC.” When we introduce ourselves, we say, “I am a golf course superintendent, and I work at XYZ.” All of this mushy stuff leads to one thing. Take advantage of your membership. Look at the websites: GCSAA, TGCSA and TTA. There is great information there and links to other great sites. Read the magazines: the information is timely and up to date. Come to the local TGCSA chapter meetings and the TTA meeting. Meet the members, talk to them and don’t be a wallflower. Network and make relationships. You may not need them today, but you will tomorrow. As always, if there is anyway that I can help you, don’t hesitate to ask. And check your Pesticide Points: everyone needs to recertify by October of this year.
