Any clubs closed ?

We are a group of 24. Normally meet up for breakfast and do the draw.
Draw done last night. Tee times sent out on WhatsApp
Worked perfectly today. No one hung around in a group.
Most turned up a few mins before tee time and I left straight after playing.
If we had to do that for months we would be fine.
Got a feeling it’s all going to ruined by the tossers that decided to go to national parks and the coast like it was a bank holiday.

I can certainly see small gatherings being banned. As long as swindles are wise they should be able to work around that.
Would it not make more sense to draw the order the day before? If people are hanging around then they will inevitably group together, get closer than they should. I know many seem to be very anti booking times but at the moment there is real sense to it. You know your time, turn up just before, go straight to the first tee, have 5-10 mins of the putting green or whatever you do. It surely reduces the time hanging around with the potential that brings.

Just no group piss taking that was a shame.

Yep, I am very anti tee booking but at the moment it makes sense. Really spread the tee times out to ensure minimum amount of people around the first tee at one time and to keep space between groups on the course. Perhaps even limit it so as you can only play every other day so as everyone gets a round at the weekend

We have block booking for sweeps/ roll ups using BRS during the winter months. Shouldn't take much to make it for individual tee times.

We have it for comps. Not hard to apply it to general play

All courses are closed (and mandated to do so by the Gov) Only essential businesses or those with special permits can operate and golf clubs/courses are well down that list

All golf courses should be closed in my opinion. The difference of opinion for social distancing on this thread alone proves that.

I'm assuming you're not in the UK? Golf courses near me are open, for the moment at least...

Interestingly enough it's only been in the last few days that Lombardy region has banned outdoor excersise.

I can only see golf being stopped if there is a full lock down.
Surely, taking sensible precautions, golf is a lot less risky than going to the supermarket?

Only a matter of time IMO.
20m rule is fine but issues of cross contamination (which is something I think @pauldj42 continues to ask about) not even getting a mention apart from the "wash you hands" message which is obviously effective up to a point. Glad of my 2 years cross posting to our CRBN regiment now, where did I hide all that gear

The 4 ball in front of me yesterday were in close proximity and not adhering to the guidelines. Golf lasts 3-4 hours those same golfers enter a club competition and play with different people again. Which part of social distancing do they not get? 1 person per tee across the whole country is the only way you can keep to the rules the government set out (unless all players same household - Father and Son, Husband and Wife). They are still playing comps at my club, shotgun start at the weekend...

Hi. o/
I've just joined looking for human contact from like-minded people.
I'm in the Netherlands and all sports clubs and been closed since (I believe) 12th of March until at least 6th April. That also includes golf clubs.
I walked around the perimeter of my club at the weekend and it is still being maintained.
I'm starting to realize how much golf I play.
