Someone's already started one under the title MP's are thick in the lounge.
I wonder when she's opening up her back garden for everyone to use?

Could I have a run around the pitch at Anfield with my ball?
I promise not to put my full kit on.
Could I take my grandson so it’s only two of us.?
Could we charge a green fee?

Maybe she was feeling sorry for Stephen Kinnock and wanted to share some of the stupid burden with him? A pathetic attempt to turn this into some form of class issue.

I wondered what he'd done so looked it up;

Not 100% certain about this but I believe the 'right to roam' in Scotland allows you do this provided you do not cause damage or interfere with the activity [eg harvest/shooting etc]
I would imagine that many Scots will be taking advantage of that.

Bad enough that one member (whose house backs onto the course) had to clear three teenagers playing football off one green yesterday, and that the club is taking measures to block off access gates because of the number of people taking the proverbial, without her encouraging the masses.

Going to suggest many courses have public footpaths passing through... I've walked around St Andrews, of an evening, without playing...
This quite different to what she is suggesting, to me anyway. A number of the courses up by me have public footpaths through them and golfers and walkers generally co-habit very reasonably, as you indicate. This is more a free for all approach. If people are misinterpreting then let us hope she comes back and clarifies her comments.
Alternatively she could just be the chip on her shoulder, irresponsible pillock I currently think she is.

Believe what is needed, in the first place, is some proper joined up thinking... As to what is and what isn't best practice... In these parts one day the parks are open the next shut... Folk saying you can't then actually doing it themselves... Mixed messages or what?

We could let some of these morons sunbathing in the park into the safari parks .
Would be some exercise for the big cats.

I have a work mate who lives in St Andrews but has never played golf. Pretty sure he's been invited to play numerous times but he never bothers. But he goes running on the old course on Sundays.

They could televise it on Saturday nights - I mean, who wouldn't want to see that? "And here's Dwayne, 18 from Birmingham. Caught sunbathing in a park "on his way to do shopping for his 103-year old gran" - he's running as fast as he can but Aslan has him in his sights. And there goes his scalp ...."
OK I need to get back to the work now.

Quite a few out walking on mine. Couple having a picnic on one of the greens. They have no idea what chemicals are used.
The issue will be when this is over. Morons will then expect to be able to roam all over, with no concerns for the golfers.

If the courses are closed what's the problem? Thought we were in this together?
Many courses are in urban areas so would allow locals ample area for walking near to home whilst maintaining 2m separation.
Is it not elitism, selfish and private club mentality to say no without consideration at least in unprecedented times?
Fence off the greens to people and good to go.
St Andrews Old has been mentioned as open Sundays to walkers (as it's closed Sundays) but at my old club all the kids use hilly parts of it in winter for sledging -goodwill created.
Is the fear that once this is over people would continue to walk there, it opens a can of worms? Or do members fear damage being done?

Having had a member whose house backs onto the course already turf 3 teenagers playing football off a green, and having previously been a member at a course on common land where cyclists & motorcyclists went out of their way to ride over greens I'll decline your kind offer if it's all the same to you.
As we're all in this together, what are those who aren't members of golf courses giving up to benefit golfers living near them?

Their lives possibly if they work in public transport and NHS.?

Well, looking at it from another angle... The buggers in charge of delivering HS2 have taken over our local course and there doesn't appear to be much chance of getting it back as they found it ??...
