Steve O Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) Most of us are board to tears from social isolation. The golfers amongst us are looking forward to getting out for some fresh air. Golf allows competitors to practice social distancing without drastically changing the game, however there are some mainly common sense guidelines that should be practiced during the round. The GCMA, PGA, and BIGGA have published joint guidelines for golfing during these times. I hate leaving the flag in the hole, but I'm going to start. A friend of mine says his club sent out a letter to members that followed these guidelines verbatim. All but one. The most important one. It says the 2 person per cart rule is still in effect. Seriously, stay away from everyone at all times except for the 4 hours you'll be sitting a foot away from a total stranger while you're riding. https://golfbusinessnews.com/news/coronavirus-news/grass-roots-golf-plays-on-offering-fresh-air-and-exercise/?fbclid=IwAR15YaaTTtZWdH2MJqio-_NmAV2VJm9AVdajgLVfRv7Hyo4beqgeMGQIHBA Edited March 20, 2020 by Steve O 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundancer Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) If you’re in an area that’s still open, count yourself lucky! All clubs closed here. Edited March 20, 2020 by Sundancer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrader Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 And all 18 cups are filled with hand sanitizer. It's a nice touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I love walking by myself or with a friend. That seems like it would be safe now. That said, as someone mentioned above, I just assumed that all golf courses are being shut down. In PA, all “non-life sustaining businesses” were ordered to be closed.

When the ranger approaches, put your mask on and start yelling, “stay away; I am contagious!” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
