Golf after lockdown 2

[DanFST]

Everything with us is back to "normal" - the clubhouse
- No vistors
- Bookings can be made 7 days before.
- Only two bookings a week, can book on the same day for further rounds.

Our time for booking 4 balls is coming in less than an hour...I'm not going to join that scrum. Planning on booking a practice time on the field tomorrow for next week. I won't join the madness. Hoarding of toilet paper.....desperation for tee times......just give me a field and don't bother me.

I've emailed the club to see if we need to book a slot on the practice ground (we did before to limit numbers) or can simply get tokens from the pro shop and go out and hit balls. Planning to some extensive practice (especially pitching/bunkers) then waiting for the 18 hole four balls. Leave me alone with a bucket of balls and I'm happy. Similarly leave me to work on my chipping and putting until I'm done and I'll be a happy camper

For those in England tier 2 and 3, what are the clubs doing regarding the bar opening? As people can’t mix indoors with other households, I can’t see it being worthwhile them opening for the one or two groups that are households (father/son, husband/wife, etc) and allowing random fourballs to have a drink (with or without a meal ) is not allowed.

I'm not on committee, but whilst Furlough is on. I would guess not.

We were in Tier 2 before and will be again.
Basically everyone has to sit individually at tables. You end up weirdly spread out, a couple of metres apart, not ideal but it's OK for a beer or two and better than nothing.

Are they making you eat as well?

 

[USER1999]

Our club house is closed, and will remain so.

 

[Deleted member 15344]

Our clubhouse will prob stay shut because of the restrictions- have to eat which many don’t and can only sit on your own so it won’t be financially viable I guess

 

[Imurg]

Our halfway house window might stay open but I suspect the rest of the clubhouse will stay shut.

The two metres was about droplets. There is now advice about aerosol spreading indoors which is the problem. So, it's risky indoors, two metres or not.
Up to you, of course.

Although the email last night has requested that we book no more than 3 rounds a week, and if you can play in the week to leave weekends for those that can't, due to shorter daylight hours.

Wednesday's tee slots filled up pretty quick, there are 7 slots still available this morning.

I have no idea what is happening at our club. Since this whole thing started it has been death by email with a constant stream of them arriving, all very "authoritarian" in their tone, which is a bit gauling considering that this is a members club.
However in the last couple of weeks we've had nothing, there's no emails, nothing on the club website nor on the ClubV1 hub. All this is a bit worrying, does it mean they were just waiting on yesterdays anouncment or are they cooking up some really stupid and complicated scheme.
I really hope it's the former.

That's very restrained of your members. Our booking system went live for Wednesday's restart at 5.30 this Wednesday and was full by 8.30.

4 balls at 9 minute intervals from 8.00 am to 2.00pm although I don't know how many holes the later starters will get in.

The online scrum down starts at 1700 today for Wednesday – I sort of half dread it and half quite enjoy it
