5km limit thoughts (ireland)

[bladeplayer]

Over here golf is open from Mon 18th adhering to goverent rules on lock down

1 rule is no non essential travel outside 5km radius from home..

Im about 10km by road and approx 7.5km radius as crow flies. So under rules i cannot travel to play golf ..

Im back in work on 18th , 35km from home . On way to and from work i pass within 3km from golf course .

So heres my question . I know i cant travel specificaly to play golf but can i divert 3k to play on way home as the essential travel is work related ??

Just wondering what ye think .

I would say so, if I was back to playing golf I’d of popped to the course myself on the way home.
I see no harm in it, especially if cyclists are doing 20 mile trips!

No you cant. As your smilies indicate that you know well.
Some people will of course. The law and its intent is clear, but some people will probably choose to misinterpret or do a little bit of mental gymnastics and self delusion so that they can do as they wish even if they fundamentally know that they shouldnt.

I think the first question youd be asked is where do you live, beyond that its case closed m'lud.

It's a bit daft because everywhere in Ireland is 20 miles from the next place.

In my opinion mate you’re not travelling more than 5k to your golf club so if you happen to pass by on way to/from work then go for it.

I can of course travel 50km to my nearest garden centre to stand in a queue of people then mingle with them inside said garden centre but not the 30k to play solo golf!!

As your well accustomed to hearing mate “only in Ireland”

Not sure how they could/can police the 5km rule unless the golf clubs themselves are doing in and checking every tee time that is booked against their records.

Stopped by police you can give a number of plausible excuses.

I'm sure you'll be fine. Hopefully not "fined"!

To get round the 5km restriction, can't you use the good old Irish adage of "Well, if I was going there, then I wouldn't start from here ..."
