About the cover
We thought this photograph by Mike Klemme of

Kalmowitz (right),
Ph.D. and technical
specialist for BASF
Turf & Ornamentals.

CORRECTION
In the July article, “Looking for Work,” Eric Czarnecki was
misquoted. He didn’t imply that either the greens chairman or
the general manager at Colliers Reserve Country Club in Naples,
Fla., was on a “power trip”.
