WATER WOES
By Bob Vavrek, senior agronomist, North-Central Region July 9, 2014 It’s just one problem after another for Poa annua this season. Most of the Poa on the green pictured in this regional update somehow managed to survive an exceptionally harsh winter only to succumb to basal rot anthracnose. A recent bout of moisture stress caused by a broken irrigation mainline pipe seems to have been the trigger that incited a rapid outbreak of disease activity. Once again, we are reminded that anthracnose truly is a stress-related disease. Let’s hope that yesterday’s fertilizer application and tomorrow’s fungicide treatment can check further injury to the putting surface.

Just one short period of wilt due to a broken mainline was the trigger that caused a rapid outbreak of basal rot anthracnose to Poa annua on this putting surface.

GCSAA Grassroots Ambassador Program off to fast start
July 1 was the official beginning of the GCSAA Grassroots Ambassador program. The program, which has been split into four “classes” or start times had 55 members fully vetted and enrolled in the 2014 Summer Ambassador Class. The next class, which will be the fall 2014, will be vetted during the months of August and September and will begin service on Oct. 1. Since the program launched, the Ambassadors have taken and encouraged others to take action within through action alerts resulting in more than 250 letters being sent to Congress on the proposed EPA Waters of the United State (WOTUS) rule. The Grassroots Ambassador will also be participating in August Recess Activities across the country, talking to members of Congress about WOTUS as the key GCSAA talking point during the August Recess. GCSAA held an Ambassadors training on July 16 to prepare the Ambassadors to talk about the WOTUS issue.
Ambassadors are still needed and recruitment will be an ongoing activity. If members of your chapter have shown an interest in being an Ambassador, look for an email from Kaelyn Seymour, government relations specialist, in August for your approval of those members. Additionally, if you know a GCSAA member who would make a good Ambassador, please forward names to Seymour at [email protected].

Rounds 4 Research
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, 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 vast majority of proceeds 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 EIFG’s Rounds 4 Research is an expansion of the innovative program that was introduced by the Carolinas Golf Course Superintendents Association. After the Carolinas GCSA realized the program’s scope had grown beyond what it could administer, it offered the program to GCSAA. As GCSAA’s philanthropic organization, the EIFG was the natural choice to oversee this exciting fundraising effort. Why is it important? In order to operate successfully, today’s golf facilities need resources in place to fuel innovation, address challenges brought on by Mother Nature and respond to regulatory pressures. The Rounds 4 Research program is addressing the critical shortage of funding for ongoing, university-based agronomic research, education, advocacy programs and course operations. With your support, you can help us keep the future of our game green.
