FROM THE
PRESIDENT'S
DESK
KERRY GLADER How often do you play the course you work so hard on to make perfect for the members? Most of us, I would guess, don't do it enough. When we have some time available we want to get away from our work place and relax....get it out of mind for awhile. But playing is an important part of a superintendent's education. When you play your golf course, you see things from the standpoint of a player. Remember that is the view that all of your members get. All of a sudden you have to putt at a hole position that is perhaps a bit unfair. Doesn't seem like a big thing until you have to do it. All of a sudden you have to decide if your ball is in or out of bounds and there is a white stake missing. You meant to get at that last week..now it's real important.
Playing 18-Holes gives you a better feel for your greens speed, texture and holding qualities than all the testing in the world. Trying to play out of a bunker with a thin sand base that causes the club to bounce rather than continue on through, brings home the fact you had better get that sand loosened up and redistributed.
Playing with club officers and committee heads and even occasionally with the club professional is an easy way to learn things in casual conversation. It is also an excellent place to suggest programs you have in mind. You can test the waters, so to speak.
The skill at which you play the game is strictly up to your time and interest. An average game, about 18 to 20 handicap, is quite acceptable. In fact, it might be about perfect because you wiI I see the course as most of your players see it. Why not look at your June calendar right now and pick out two or three afternoons to play with the members. It will never get done if you don't make definite plans.
LIGHTWEIGHT FAIRWAY MOWING AT MANKATO G. C.
by BOOTS FULLER Superintendent Mankato Golf Club
The concept of lightweight fairway mowing is certainly not a new scheme. For many, the practice has been used for some years now. But for us in Mankato, the dream became a little more realistic during the summer of 1985 when I approached Jerry Odash of Kaye Corporation here in Mankato with the suggestion that he leave three mowers with us for demonstration purposes. He did this with no delay and virtually no questions asked. The target date was our annual Loren Krugel Invitational Golf Tournament in July.
That tourney is played the first weekend after July 4 holidays. It's a three-day affair, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and annually attracts many of the outstanding amateur golfers from Minnesota and other surrounding states. This certainly was an opportune moment to showcase our course and its reception to the lightweight fairway mowing concept.
On Tuesday before the tourney, Jerry brought up two Ransomes Motor 180!s and one Ransomes 5x3 gas powered five reel mowing unit. The Motor ISO's are 3 reel triplexes with baskets and all 3 units are generally regarded as lightweight when compared to the 7 and 9 gang units which were used quite extensively in the 1970fs and early 1980's on many courses.
Our plan in 1985 was to mow our fairways crosswise with the Ransomes 5x3 unit because the reels can be lifted and dropped rather quickly. The 5 mowing units took a wider cut and the time factor, although it took longer, compared to our 7 gang unit used previously, was still faster than the triplex 180!s. The plan then was to mow twice with the 180!s, once at an angle, the other time to mow lengthwise. We used baskets to pick up clippings with the Triplex 180fs.
So we proceeded with the plan. We mowed e fairways crosswise on Tuesday and
Wednesday of the tournament week. On ^ Thursday and Friday we mowed on an angle with the 1801s and picked up grass clippings. Then on Saturday and Sunday we used the 180!s again and picked up clippings; this time mowing lengthwise.
The program was an astounding success. Tourney players and our members were impressed. At first, many of our members insisted that we lowered our heighth of cut. This was not true. We set the heighth of cut exactly the same as our old 7 gang unit. The difference was that we were cutting grass we had never cut before because now we could cut four different di rections.
Jerry continued to let us use these three units for several weeks after the tournament. Our members became more impressed. I must confess though, that I really "set them up" when about the third week of August I mowed the fairways with our old 7 gang unit. The complaints quickly followed. Tire tracks were visible. The quality of cut was nowhere near what the light weight units gave.
It soon became time to approach the Greens Committee and Board of Directors. Now there are many of you superintendents out there who approach boards with equipment purchases in excess of $30,000 with some regularity. At Mankato this is the exception, not the rule. I knew I was in for a battle because we hadn't spent $30,000 for new equipment in the six previous years TOTAL. Now I was going to reqquest $30,000 in just one big swipe. What a task we were facing!
There was much ground work to be done, and lots of horse trading. But through the intensity of the new Greens Chairman, an avid golfer, and also our Club Champion for 1985, George Chesley, the goal was met. We purchased two Ransomes Motor 180's with baskets and we purchased one Ransomes 5x3 five gang mowing unit.
We are now on a regular mowing schedule and use all 3 units. There is no question that the lightweight mowers take more time plus we need a person to pick up the clippings. The trade-off for time is how the turfgrass looks after the mowing. Many of us went back to walk-mowing greens because the results were more desireable. So it is with the lightweight fairway J

w as so cloudy and rainy for so long that
when we did see the sun we thought we had
done something e v i l .
T h e only day I can remember in May that
was really warm and dry was our MGCSA

the wind started b u f f e t i n g his pickup so
bad that by the time he got it u n d e r
control he was in H a s t i n g s . T h e fifty

played golf were fiercely c h a l l e n g e d by
the wind and Steve S c h u m a c h e r ' s great g o l f

Our new front mowers come with the same feature that made our mowing tractors famous. DIESEL ENGINE PERFORMANCE.
Now you can expect the same reliable performance from a new John Deere front mower that you've come to expect from our utility tractors. That's because our new front mowers use the same kind of liquid-cooled diesel engine design. So the new 22-hp F935 and the 17-hp F915 Front Mowers already come with a great reputation behind them. They also come with some great
performance features, too. Like a unique, two-pedal hydrostatic control for increased operator perform-ance. A new standard cruise control for low-fatigue mowing in wide open areas. And a new 76-inch swept-spindle mower deck (F935 and F930 only) for a wider cut and closer left side trimming. For more information or the name of the dealer nearest you, call toll free 800-447-9162.
