Mission Statement
Promoting the profession of the golf course superintendent
through education, camaraderie and cooperation among
fellow members in Northern Ohio since 1923

Our monthly meeting was held on May 11th, at Avon

Oaks Country Club. The education portion of the
meeting was a round table discussion with the Cleveland
Browns sports turf managers. There were so many
questions that it could have gone on for another hour!
The speakers were very candid and had everyone
laughing throughout the meeting. A great lunch and a
great golf course rounded out the day. Thanks to Terry
Boehm and the staff at Avon Oaks Country Club for their
wonderful hospitality.
The June meeting, which is the Club Official Meeting, will be held at Westfield
Group Country Club on the 15th. The guest speaker will be Rhett Evans, CEO of
the GCSAA. Plan on attending to show our strength as the founding chapter.
I hope everyone is coping with the crazy weather we have been having! I
personally am lucky enough to also oversee the building maintenance, and it has
been a real roller coaster ride. I have switched from the boilers to the cooling
tower and back three times in May! At least with the cool temperatures lately, my
growth regulator will last a lot longerIm always looking on the bright side.

Sincerely,
Mark Figurella

An update on Member Standards

from GCSAA President John J. O'Keefe, CGCS
Class A Member Standards are important for defining who
we are, both individually and collectively, as
superintendents in the golf course management industry.
These standards frame each Class A member's
professional identity.
The GCSAA Board of Directors has revised the Member
Standards proposal after receiving input from many
constituents over the past few months, beginning with the
Chapter Delegates Meeting last October and carrying
through the recent Golf Industry Show in San Antonio.
To start with, a new, more inclusive definition of Class
A has been crafted that will allow individuals to maintain
Class A status when they no longer hold a golf course
superintendent job, but have secured employment within
the golf industry, as long as the ongoing requirements
continue to be fulfilled.
In addition, the Superintendent Member (SM)
classification will be renamed Class B. By eliminating the
Superintendent Member (SM) classification and replacing
it with a Class B designation, the use of Class A, Class B,
and Class C as our three professional classifications of
membership would be clearly understandable by
employers and influential golfers.
Changes proposed to both the eligibility and renewal
requirements further demonstrate that education and
experience are fundamental to achieving Class A status
and enhance the value of Class A status now and in the
future.
The proposed model for Class A eligibility continues to be
based on a sliding scale of formal education,
superintendent years of experience and continuing
education. The scale is based on a combined formula of
20 points, with a set point value assigned to your level of
formal education and a variable combination of
continuing education and experience. Service points will
no longer be a component of eligibility.
Class A renewal requirements continue to necessitate a
total of 5 points over a 5-year period. However, they have
been enhanced to include a minimum of 3.0 education
points rather than the current minimum of 2.0 education
points. Service points for renewal will now be focused on
golf-centric activities.
Possessing a pesticide license or passing the GCSAA IPM
Exam will continue to be a requirement of eligibility and
renewal. Additionally, the GCSAA IPM Exam fee will be

eliminated.
The proposal also addresses Superintendent Members
who were grandfathered in 2003. These individuals will
now need to fulfill the enhanced requirements within a
specified period of time to maintain their Class A status.
The next step is to finalize the proposal with chapter
delegates input at the 2015 Chapter Delegates Meeting
this fall. The final proposal will be presented for a
membership vote at the 2016 Golf Industry Show in San
Diego.
We appreciate your support of the Member Standards
proposal. If you have any questions, please contact
GCSAA. Updates will be provided as necessary on
gcsaa.org.
Sincerely,
John J.O'Keefe, CGCS
GCSAA President

Anthracnose Management on Greens

Anthracnose Basal Rot (ABR)
J. W. Rimelspach, F. Peduto Hand, and T. E. Hicks.
Basal rot anthracnose, Colletotrichum cereale,
formerly called C. graminicola, may be a serious
problem on Poa annua (annual bluegrass) and at
times on creeping bentgrass putting greens. This is
often considered one of the most difficult diseases
on greens to deal with by a superintendent especially
once the disease progresses to the basal rot stage
and the turfgrass shows signs of thinning. This is
especially true when Poa annua develops the disease
in early spring or summer.
Disease Preventative Procedures
Preventative management strategies. Where
concerns exist about this disease; such as a history of
the problem, the presents of highly susceptible grass,
frequent weather patterns conducive for
development of the disease, and or aggressive
maintenance of greens to meet golfer expectations -

it is recommended to implement a modified turfgrass

health management strategy and a preventive
fungicide program. Begin fungicide applications two
to four weeks prior to the expected onset of the
disease. Since disease outbreaks can occur at
different times of the year, even within a small
geographical area, keep records of when and under
what conditions the disease occurs, use information
as a guide for application timing. Since this disease
often can NOT be managed merely with a fungicide
program, implement Best Management Practices
(BMP's) and Integrated Turfgrass Health
Management (ITHM) to optimize the vigor and health
of the turfgrass.
One long-term control strategy to avoid chronic basal
rot anthracnose is to encourage bentgrass on the
putting surface which is much more tolerant of this
disease than many of the annual bluegrass biotypes.

20

Provide adequate drainage (surface and

subsurface), reducing thatch and soil
compaction, core aeration, deep tine cultivate,
topdress, verticut, etc. to maintain maximum
turfgrass health.
Post-Disease Procedures
Post-disease management recommendations
for active BRA. To alleviate basal rot
anthracnose it is wise to first evaluate all
aspects of the mowing operations. Modify
mowing to minimize damage. Avoid mowing
when greens are excessively wet and spongy.
Mowing soft greens will often result in a lower
mowing height and increase mechanical
damage which can intensify the disease. Switch
from grooved to solid rollers. Increase the
height of cut and use walk-behind greens
mowers. Divert traffic away from affected areas
by moving cups frequently. Apply light rates of
soluble fertilizers to improve plant health. A
moderate application of nitrogen from
ammonium sulfate or urea (0.1 to 0.125 lb. per
1,000 sq. ft.) is suggested every 7-14 days.
When the disease is active, avoid aggressive
topdressing, brushing, vertical mowing and
other practices that would reduce turfgrass
health.
In the autumn, after symptoms have dissipated,
core aerate and overseed to increase the
amount of bentgrass in the greens. Avoid
excessive irrigation at all times and avoid wilt
and moisture stress. Both extremes in watering
increase the disease. Poor surface drainage
and/or poor internal root zone profile drainage
aggravate the disease problem. The winter and
spring symptoms of basal rot anthracnose may
be different from anthracnose foliar blight
symptoms that are traditionally experienced in
the summer. In most cases Poa annua or
creeping bentgrass is affected, but not both
grasses at the same time.

important to manage this disease once the

stems and crowns of plants are infected. Since
the pathogen is located inside the crown, lower
stems and base of the plants and since most
fungicides are only systemic upward or local
penetrants in the turfgrass plant tissue,
the fungicides must be placed at the base of
plant. To accomplish this a volume of 4 -5
gallons of water per 1000 sq ft is
recommended. If a sprayer is calibrated for 2
gals/1000 sq ft often the superintendent will
only add one half the recommended amount of
fungicide to the spray tank and then treat the
area two times so that 4 gals/1000 sq ft of
water is delivered and a full rate of fungicide. By
using the high volume of water the fungicide(s)
are placed in the crown area and have optimal
placement to protect uninfected plants and
have the best placement to reduce damage of
infected plants. Remember most of todays
fungicides do not eradicate the pathogen and
successful fungicide programs must be made
prior to significant infection by the pathogen.
Thiophanate-methyl (Cleary 3336 or Fungo 50),
azoxystrobin (Heritage), pyraclostrobin
(Insignia), fluoxastrobin (Disarm), propiconazole
(Banner MAXX), triadimefon (Bayleton),
myclobutanil (Eagle), fenarimol (Rubigan),
triticonazole (Trinity) & (Chipco Triton),
metconazole (Tourney), tebuconazole (Torque ),
polyoxin D (Endorse), penthiopyrad (Velista) or
fosetyl-Aluminum (Signature) are products that
can be considered for the management of this
disease. It would be recommended to review
state or regional fungicide recommendations
for the most appropriate product(s).

Resistances to products have been report. It may

be necessary to schedule repeat fungicide
applications on a 7-10 day intervals to arrest basal
rot, particularly in annual bluegrass. Not all of
these are equal or have the same impact on the
disease/pathogen and none will eradicate basal rot
anthracnose form the infected plant after the
disease is active. These fungicides work best
preventively. Check label instructions for timing
intervals and details for the most effective use of
the product. Also refer to the Fungicides Labeled
for Anthracnose on Turfgrass chart on the last
page for more information. It is also recommended
to include foliar nitrogen fertilizer in fungicide
applications. Stop the use of plant growth
regulators, and avoid any other chemical
or mechanical damage.
In curative situations always include an application
of the high labeled rate of chlorothalonil. Since
chlorothalonil is a contact fungicide, a maximum
volume of 2 gallons of water per 1000 sq ft should
be used. High volumes (4 -5 gallons of water per
1000 sq ft) used to place systemic produces at the
crown and base of the plants will greatly dilute
contact fungicides and reduce efficacy. A separate
application is recommended for the contact
fungicides.
In some chronically infected annual bluegrass
greens, especially when managed at mowing
heights of less than 1/8 (0.125 inches) of an inch
for maximum green speeds, basal rot may NOT be
controlled with fungicides. In these cases,
chronically infected greens that consist mostly of
annual bluegrass may have to be renovated and
regrassed with an appropriate creeping bentgrass
cultivar. There are several options including
resodding, fumigation and reseeding, and
complete reconstruction of the diseased greens.
Since Poa annua is often the primary susceptible
turfgrass consider what can be done to convert
and maintain greens to creeping bentgrass.
Another common denominator seen on greens
with this disease in the spring is that these courses

experienced significant loss of Poa annua (annual

bluegrass) the previous year. Basal rot anthracnose
may be more of a problem on greens that have
experienced a significant loss of grass in recent
history. In addition, low mowing heights of 1/8 of
an inch or less, along with the associated mowing
stress, contribute to the initiation and difficulty in
controlling this disease.
Maintenance: To maximize turfgrass health on
greens
Mowing issues - this may be the #1 factor that
initiates the onset of anthracnose:
Minimize ALL mowing stress avoid scalping or
cutting too low, this is often the factor that leads
to anthracnose problems.
Do not mow when greens are wet (soft and/or
spongy) since this leads to scalping or cutting too
low.
Use solid rollers, grooved rollers usually lead to a
lower cut and stressed plants and anthracnose.
Raising mowing heights. Research has shown that
a 0.015 inch increase in mowing height can result
in an improvement of turf health and reduced
anthracnose (i.e.: from 0.125 to 0.141inch).
Roll greens to smooth the surface and improve
mowing quality, may reduce the mowing
frequency and possible increase the height of cut.
Use walk-behind mowers and reduce mowing
frequency (floating head mowers preferred).
Fertility programs Research has shown this to
be a key to maintain healthy turf and manage
ABR:
Maintain greens with a sound fertility program for
healthy turfgrass. (Minimal of 3 lb N + / 1000 ft2 /
year). Do not under fertilize the greens to achieve
speed, but fertilize for turf health.

continued on page 24

23

Apply 0.1 to 0.125-lb. N/M sq. ft. from ammonium

sulfate or urea every 7-14 days. Tank-mix with
fungicide applications. Maintain growth, but avoid
excessive or surges of growth. Research is being
done to determine best nitrogen forms to use.
Soil and tissue test to insure that adequate
essential elements are available and in the plants
Water management irrigation, surface drainage
& subsurface drainage:
Avoid over watering and excessive wet soils and
conditions of continuously wet thatch.
Syringe to prevent wilt. Avoid extremes in soil
moisture. The goal is healthy turfgrass.
Improve and/or provide proper drainage to
maximize turfgrass health and vigor.
Install drainage systems or rebuild greens to
correct poor drainage problems.
Address compaction problems, excessive thatch,
root zone layering, and green design problems.
Grooming, PGRs & Pest Management - factors
that limit turfgrass growth and health:
Avoid aggressive grooming operations in hot wet
weather that may severely damage the turfgrass.
Light to moderate topdressing can be beneficial to
protect the crowns and improve growth & health.
When grooming operations cannot be avoided,
apply fungicides tank-mixed with soluble fertilizers
prior to grooming, even if anthracnose is not
active.
PGRs can be used as an effective tool to maximize
health and part of an Integrated Turfgrass Health
Management Program. The key point is, do not
stop growth but manage healthy growth.
Monitor for other problems such as parasitic
nematodes, other diseases, insect pests, etc.

Normally do not use a fungicide from the same

chemical class in succession, rotate whenever
possible. As temperatures increase keep in mind
the growth regulating side effects of sterolinhibiting fungicides. If the disease is active; select
the high label rate, shortest timing interval, apply
in the proper amount of water to place the
fungicide where the disease is active and to
protect the host. It is usually recommended to
rotate penetrant fungicides from the different
classes shown: i.e. Thiophanate (CL 3336 or Fungo
50) in the first 7- 10 days; followed by a strobilurin
(Compass, Heritage, Disarm or Insignia in the
second 7-10 days; followed by a sterol-inhibitor
(Banner, Bayleton, Eagle, Trinity, Tourney, Chipco
Triton, Torque or Rubigan in the third 7-10 days
period. Consider including Chipco Signature in this
rotation at least once per month. Endorse is an
additional penetrant to consider however works
best as a preventative fungicide. Contact
fungicides are most effective if applied to
completely cover the leaf tissue with minimal runoff.
NOTES:
Spray volume recommendations:
- systemics (most are upward moving only) 4 5
gal/ 1000 sq ft.
- contacts and local penetrants 1.5 - 2 gal/ 1000 sq
ft.
Strobilurin and thiophanate-methyl resistant
biotypes of anthracnose have been reported.
Select products that are known to work and
monitor for fungicide resistance. If possible leave
untreated areas as check plots to observe results.
