As ever the Californian weather held out for a full day of course visits. Early in the morning we traveled to Long Beach near Los Angeles to visit the incredible Virginia Golf and Country Club where the Superintendent had an amazing story. The entire course was turfed in a species conversion and opened within a year. Although we are poles apart there is a lot that can be learned from the management of high end warm season courses, I took hundreds of photographs for ideas especially in and around the maintenance facilities where ideas were picked up to improve efficiency and quality at Royal Cinque Ports.
