Greetings, well its the start of a new year. Before we know it, the sun will be shinning and we all be back to our long days practicing the art of Turfgrass management. Reflecting back to last season hopefully everyone enjoyed a successful summer. Although most of us in Northeast Ohio experienced some high temperatures and limited rainfall, for many Superintendents it became a challenge to manage irrigation cycles and water management of the supply source at their facilities, in order to make it to the next rainfall. For me on several occasions city water had to be relied upon to keep our turf alive, which translate into more dollars spent. Enough with the old, lets look forward to a new season and new future, isnt that what a new years celebration all about? Recently the January meeting was held at the Cloverleaf Lanes. The turnout of 54 members was in attendance for a panel discussion on the new legislation of health care reform and how it may impact our operations. John Miller, field staff from GCSAA and Tony Wey NOGCSA accountant was kind enough to chair this discussion. Although we could have gone on all day, the 3 hour meeting never had a lull of any sort. Questions and discussion continued to the very end, still leaving many with question and not enough answers. I dont think our government official s have all the answers to the question either. Stay tune for more information. NOGCSA Board met this month to plan for the upcoming years meetings and events, both business and social were discussed. This includes assignments of duties and committees for each board member. We have a very engaged and dedicated board with great ideas for the upcoming year. Coming in February, a night with the Lake Erie Monsters, the Cleveland AHL hockey team, limited tickets will be available, SO DONT WAIT. continued on page 4

Election of board and officers; vote on dues increase highlight 2013 GCSAA Annual Meeting
Elections and a dues increase will be put forward to the GCSAA membership at the association's 2013 Annual Meeting, Thursday, Feb. 7, 2013, in San Diego, held in conjunction with the GCSAA Education Conference and Golf Industry Show. The official slate of candidates includes: For president Pat Finlen, CGCS, The Olympic Club, San Francisco For vice president Keith Ihms, CGCS, The Country Club of Little Rock (Ark.) For secretary/treasurer Peter Grass, CGCS, Hilands Golf Club, Billings, Mont. John O'Keefe, CGCS, Preakness Golf and Country Club, Wayne, N.J. For director (three positions) Darren Davis, Old Florida Golf Club, Naples, Fla. John Fulling, CGCS, Kalamazoo (Mich.) Country Club Mark Jordan, CGCS, Westfield Country Club, Westfield Center, Ohio John Walker, Blackhorse Golf Club, Cypress, Texas Bill H. Maynard, CGCS, and Rafael Barajas, CGCS, remain on the board with one year remaining in their two-year director terms. Sandy G. Queen, CGCS, will serve on the board for one year as immediate past president. Robert M. Randquist, CGCS, retires from the board after serving the last year as immediate past president. Both Peter J. Grass, CGCS, and John J. O'Keefe, CGCS, are at the end of their two-year director terms, so the unsuccessful candidate for secretary/treasurer will be required to accept a nomination for director from the floor at the annual meeting in order to remain on the board. In addition, the GCSAA Board of Directors is bringing forward a proposal to raise dues for Class A and Superintendent Members (SM) by a total of $25 with a $15 increase for Class C members. During the last four years, GCSAA has cut $5.4 million from its budget and has reduced its staff by 28 percent. Member dues account for 28 percent of the GCSAA budget, which is less than that of comparable associations (38 to 40 percent). Additionally, while the board is asking members to increase their support, the association has already sought industry support of GCSAA operations through an increase in various fees for exhibiting at the Golf Industry Show. GCSAA member dues are tied to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) in a process created and voted on by members. The process calls for the association to consider a dues adjustment for Classes A, SM and C every two years as a means of ensuring a sustainable organization. The process is not automatic and is dependent upon other financial considerations such as non-dues revenue sources, the association's financial position and future financial projections for the golf economy. In addition to the CPI increase of $15 for Class A/SM and $10 increase for Class C members, the proposed member dues increase also includes $10 for Class A/SM and $5 for Class C that will be used to offset, among other things, an increase in premium expenses for the member term life insurance benefit.

ENGAGING 2013 - By R.A. (Bob) Brame, director, North-Central Region

January 3, 2013 Once again New Years resolutions are front and center. Reflecting on the past to enhance future decisions can be a worthwhile undertaking. However, just because it worked in the past doesnt necessarily mean it will have the same value in 2013. This is particularly true with communications and public relations, along with the overall product being presented to your golfing clientele. While there is no question that the golf turf maintenance industry continues to be impacted by the tough economy, there also continues to be courses with very positive bottom lines. Conversely, there are courses at the edge of a cliff from which there will likely be no return. Golfers are continually evaluating what theyre getting for what theyre paying. If its a good value, theyll be back. If not, the course moves ever closer to the abyss. However good or bad a situation is, it will change. In fact, life is a never ending process of change just look in a mirror. Those who are paying attention and adjusting reap the rewards. As always, we look forward to working with you and
Positive, proactive communication requires paying attention, being open and engaging the future a worthy resolve for 2013.

your course in 2013. A mailing will be sent out over the next five to six weeks, to most courses in our database, which outlines our Turf Advisory Service visit options for the coming year. If you do not receive a mailing give us a call. Aside from the mailing, onsite visit scheduling can be initiated anytime by phone or email. Regular visit pricing will remain the same as 2012 a half-day is $2,400 and a full-day is $3,400. A discount of $500 can be applied when paying for a visit prior to May 15. Even with early payment to secure the discounted price, visits can be scheduled anytime throughout the year. Source: Bob Brame,bobbrame@usga.orgor 859.356.3272

FREEZE RESISTANCE By Dr. Karl Danneberger

Freeze tolerance of plants I s not constitutive but Induced in response to low, nonfreezing temperatures (< 50 F (10C). This process is known as cold acclimation, which occurs during the fall or early winter, explains why a plant species growing at a warm temperature then exposed to freezing is killed, while that same plant exposed to a cold acclimation period prior to sub-freezing temperatures survives. Scientists have identified and studied the roll of specific plant genes in freeze tolerance. A group of genes called cold-response (COR) genes apparently plays an important role. The activation of these genes requires a period of low but nonfreezing temperatures (32 to 50 degrees F (0 to 10 degrees C). The activation of these genes is then associated with the hardening or freeze tolerance of the plants. A possible reason why plants in effect die when exposed to freezing temperatures without a hardening period is due to the lack of COR gene activation. Interestingly, light in addition to low but nonfreezing temperatures is needed for gene activation, which may explain partially why we see turf in shade more susceptible to freeze injury (Danneberger, 2006). Photograph: Freeze injury on a bermudagrass fairway in northern Kentucky (picture was taken in June). Although turfgrasses undergo cold acclimation, freeze injury is still a potential problem especially on warm season turfgrasses like bermudagrass and seashore paspalum. Regarding cool season turfgrasses, annual bluegrass (Poa annua and ryegrass (Lolium perenne, Lolium multiflorum are the most likely to experience freeze injury along their northern range of adaptation. (Top photograph is freeze injury on a Poa annua green in northwestern Ohio) Freeze injury and conversely tolerance is due in large part to how the turfgrass plant reacts to cell dehydration. During freezing temperatures water freezes intercellularly, causing a decrease in water potential outside the cell. As water freezes intercellulary (between cells) unfrozen water within the cell begins to move out of the cell toward the ice crystals in the intercellular spaces and subsequently freezes. Thus, dehydration occurs within the cell. The colder the temperatures the more water travels down the gradient toward the frozen water. At 14 F (-10C), 90% of the osmotically active cellular water will move out of the cell into intercellular spaces (Thomashow, 1998). The freezing point is higher intercellularly than intracellulary, which is a good thing because intracellularly freezing is fatal. As water leaves the cell, the plasma membrane (syn. plasmalemma) contract and pull away from the cell wall. With the arrival of warm temperatures the ice present intercellularly melts and the water flows back into the cell where hydration takes place. If no damage has occurred to the plasma membrane (ex. punctured, ruptured) then the cell is alive and well. However, if the cell rehydrates and damage has occurred to the plasma membrane cell death is eminent. Photograph: A common s cenario for freeze injury is a warming (thawing) in late winter where the turf, in this case Poa annua, loses its cold hardiness, followed by water from precipitation or a poorly drained site where water stands followed by a rapid freezing. The most common type of freeze injury in the United States occurs at relatively high freezing temperatures 24 to 28 F (2 to -4 C) during late winter/early spring. This type of freeze injury is sometimes described as "expansion-induced lysis" because it occurs during freeze/thaw cycles. In this freeze/thaw scenario, the plant loses its cold hardiness through warming temperatures which leads to the expansion of the plasma membrane. Continued on page 13

Photograph: Upon the of warmer temperatures, Ice (in this case) or snow melts and within a few days injury symptoms occur. Following the warming/thawing period, a rapid drop in temperature can case the plasma membrane to contract. Should water rapidly freeze or a rapid collapse of the plasma membrane can result in ruptures in the membrane. Excessive water around the crown of the plant during these freeze/thaw cycles in late winter increases the severity of the damage. arrival the Photograph: In extreme winter conditions freezing can occur on freeze hardy plants. In this case freeze injury has happened on a creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera) putting green in a high altitude situation in the Rocky Mountains. I would believe this type of freeze injury would be due to extreme cell dehydration described below. A second type of freeze injury occurs at lower temperatures involves changes in the plasma membrane. Where expansion-induced lysis is a result of mechanical damage, at temperatures below 25 F (-4 C) and more likely around 14 F (-10 C) loss of cell responsiveness occurs because of membrane changes. The plasma membrane becomes more rigid, and loses its ability to be pliable through structural or phase changes (Gordon-Kamm and Steponkus, 1984). Technically, the plasma membrane undergoes a phase transition from lamellar-to- hexagonalII. Actually it is this work (Gordon-Kamm and Steponkus, 1984) that demonstrated that freeze-induced phase transitions are a consequence of dehydration rather than subzero temperatures per se. The severity of dehydration increases with decreasing temperature. Freeze resistance is comprised of two components - freeze tolerance and freeze avoidance. Freeze tolerance is the plant's response to the freeze temperature. Without a doubt the singular most important tolerance mechanism of plants is plasma membrane stabilization through cold acclimation. Where plasma membranes from nonacclimated plants suffer expansion-induced lysis and phase transition, membranes from cold acclimated plants do not

(Thomashow, 1998). Turfgrass investigations that looked at plasma membrane bilayer constituents found that cold tolerance of cultivars of both bermudagrass and seashore paspalum involved fatty acids. The presence of unsaturated fatty acids like linolenic acid tend to be associated with lower freeze tolerance than those cultivars with proportionally higher saturated fatty acids (Cyril et al., 2002). This and other similar type of studies provide insight into the mechanism of freeze tolerance and could be helpful in identifying or breeding more freeze tolerant varieties. Freeze avoidance is where the plant is present, but not exposed to the freeze. For example, if the air temperature is sub zero but the turf is covered with snow, the plants crown or stems are not "feeling" the freezing temperatures. The temperature under the snow cover is considerably warmer. From a management perspective focusing on freeze avoidance strategies can help increase the survival of turfgrasses at risk.

Turf managers have some control of increasing the likelihood of winter survival by: Raising the mowing height on warm season turfgrasses during the fall. This will provide more some protection to the growing point during freezing temperatures. Provide drainage for removal of water from excessively wet areas. During freeze/thaw cycles the presence of excessive moisture can enhance freeze injury. Reduce thatch. A significant thatch layer results in the plant's growing point to lose contact with the soil as it elevates into the thatch layer. This will expose the plant more readily to freezing temperatures. Potassium fertilization. On warm season turfgrasses potassium is often applied for increasing the chances of winter survival. Potassium is an ion that helps lower the osmotic potential of the cell decreasing water the potential for water flow from the cell. Reduce the likelihood of excessive growth going into the winter. Overstimulation of growth promotes succulent high water content cells that are more likely to encounter freeze injury. Minimize shading. Although not fully researched, a degree of correlation has occurred with freeze injury and degree of shading. Shading may contribute to increased freeze injury due to plant cells tend to be 1) more succulent in shade and have larger intercellular spaces, 2) lower carbohydrate levels, which may influence water potential, as well as the energy requirements of the turf and 3) shaded areas tend to be wetter, which may contribute to the severity of freeze/thaw cycles in late winter.
