• We'd like to take this opportunity to wish you a Happy Holidays and a very Merry Christmas from all at Golf Monthly. Thank you for sharing your 2025 with us!

Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

I agree... we've tried "be sensible." Clearly that is too much for some. If you look at the peak spots in Wales, they are all where you'd guess they'd be! :-) (Very social folk's areas who enjoy night out!)

Golf is a funny one. It is outdoors, can be done in very small groups where keeping your distance is easy. On the other hand, "no golf" takes cars off the road and removes the chance of anything. (however small)

AND, it is January, the weather is crap anyway, (down here) so lets be good citizens and have the month off! Give the courses a rest so that they will be better, more quickly, come the Spring!
Ps - Dear Mr Drakeford, the Royal Porthcawl Winter Open is 23rd Feb and we don't want to miss that "pretty please!" :-)

Totally agree now is the perfect time to have a month or 2 off from golf, help the course and save lives. It's out of control and full lockdown seems the only answer.

Agree, the hardest think about lockdown 1.0 in some ways was the weather, it was amazing but we couldn't golf. That said the best thing about lockdown 1.0 was the weather so at least I was able to get out and walk with the dog rather than being sat inside watching it pour down. That's the problem I am finding now, it's the cabin fever side of things which is only likely to get worse with the tightening of restrictions.

I can certainly identify with that... if I wasn't walking the dogs, I would be going out very much at the mo!

My son is doing jury duty in Newcastle tomorrow. It will be interesting to hear how they manage it all. The courts in Newcastle are pretty new but even so they are not designed for this, where is to be fair?

Our local Courts have been extremely well run. I would hope the guidance they adhere to is national - I suppose the only issue will be how that guidance has been interpreted and implemented. I’m sure all will be fine.

I’m quite lucky in that we moved in November and I’m now able to walk out the door and have miles of green areas without getting in the car. The dog won’t know what’s hit him.
 
I know this is political however given I highlighted her earlier with regards rule breaking....
