Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

I guess that means golf clubs and driving ranges are now closed then.....knew I should have had a simulator at home.

Eagerly awaiting my club email, they’ve just cancelled guests, but not closed as of yet.

Announcement vague, golf is exercise and I’ve always happy practising on my own.....
 
I suspect every golf club manager, secretary, board, owner etc etc are drafting an email to their members or are fishing out one they drafted a few days ago.
I think any course that stays open from tomorrow is missing the point
Is it essential for greenkeepers to go to work...No.
 
Going to be quiet on the roads tomorrow, especially when I leave at 5am to start a 350 mile round trip ??
 
Being self employed in construction who decides if its essential i go to work , me from a point of needing to keep an income , or the police deciding if a contract needs to be finished or not ?

Question answered , company has decided to cease all works until instructed that any works are deemed essential by clients
totally the right response in my view ,

that is a very good point.
 
Golf courses are not essential to keeping the country running
It will be difficult to justify greenkeepers going to work, much easier to just staying at home.
We just need to sit it out for a few weeks.

Probably need to keep a degree of maintenance work.
 
Ideally but the authorities could easily turn round and say "let it grow, cut it when this is over"
They then have to work for a week to get the course playable before we restart...
This is a very simple decision to make...

I’ve just contacted all the company owners I collect & deliver for, mainly manufacturers, and they are all staying open, what’s the difference between them working and greenkeepers?
