"What goes on tour stays on tour", but then how are you going to find out about the wonderful delights that await you in Sunny California. So I have broken that golden rule, to bring you the low-down on a 20 courses in 12 days tour of Northern California. It's 19 to be exact, one of the courses I wouldn't tell my worst enemy about!
