New lockdown will courses close?

Well at some stage we have all had some closure of the courses with Ireland the worst hit with a 6 week closure. I’m sure the 4 weeks will fly by
 
If I can travel to Scotland for work during the week, what difference is it staying an extra night to play golf the next day?
 
So it’s ok to mix with lots of people at work in Scotland, but I can’t go to play golf whilst I’m there. If I’m residing in Scotland for work which isn’t under national lockdown, and there are courses are open I am well with my rights to play golf, go to the gym,etc.

I always turn down Faslane on the Rota and offer the single lads who want the money go instead. I better go on a four week jolly in feb just in case.

If you live in England which, judging by your earlier posts you do, then the guidelines are pretty clear. You can leave home for very defined reasons.

You’ll excuse me for pointing out what is blindingly obvious to 99.9% of us, but nowhere does it say you can leave home in England, cross the border into another country of the U.K., and live by their rules for a couple of days just so you can squeeze in a game of golf.

The debate has raged here for the whole weekend about whether or not golf courses should remain open. Most were of the opinion they should, but nevertheless said they would abide by the rules if those rules meant clubs had to shut.

I know I am not alone in being sick to death of what is going on in the world. We all are. But what really grinds my gears is when I see people either pleading ignorance or putting their own spin on what are a clear set of rules, or worse still just plain ignoring them, because they are either too arrogant or just plain selfish to the point that they either can’t see that they are part of the problem, or simply don’t care.

Perhaps the most depressing aspect of the last seven months isn’t the virus, or the death and chaos it’s leaving in its wake. It’s the moronic behaviour of those who think the rules don’t apply to them.

surely you just obey the laws of where ever you happen to be? If he's staying in Scotland for work then he can play golf if the courses are open.

Just do as Boris tells you, you good little sheep.

No, you’re not. Read the rules which will apply to those LIVING in England from this Thursday. They are crystal clear.

And please, less of the petty personal silliness. It’s absolutely unnecessary.

It's not a wind up, if I were minded to bunk on a course and play some golf, it wouldn't be my own.

You want to pick a course where it's very quiet and secluded, there's a lot of land, and many of the holes are a long way from the clubhouse. Somewhere like Wentworth or Sunningdale would be ideal.

England is in lockdown from Thursday, the rules applying to everyone who lives here. I think we both know it’s not quite as simple as what is being suggested, the same as it wasn’t in the three tier system.

If you lived in Tier 3 last week you couldn’t travel to a lower Tier simply to dodge the rules. You had to follow the rules which were in place where you lived, regardless of where you were.

I am quite sure the same applies here, and I am equally sure he knows it. Why else are the Welsh authorities saying anyone nipping over the border for a pint next week will be turned back?
