A major issue I saw in Beijing was the desire to start using Kentucky bluegrass throughout the fairways.

Awesome graphs and cool season grasses!

We saw a little bit of dollar spot and heard from superintendent Darry Koster about his preventative fungicide program for large patch (caused by Rhizoctonia solani). It gets just cold enough at Hong Kong for large patch to be a problem on

For me, it was about 22 hours in the air (through Tokyo) and a 12:30AM arrival on Monday night/Tuesday morning. Knowing that I wasn't going to be able to sleep right off the flight, I had recent graduate (Shane Lee) pick me up at the airport and to the bars we went. We had a great time catching up on his pursuit of a job in the region and he showed me
