New national lockdown from this Wed?

Nonsensical, I agree. But if England Golf clarify it and are told to shut golf clubs just how do you propose to ignore it? Park outside the locked golf club car park and climb over the gate?

Same as I do Christmas Day, park on the road and walk on. No locks. Public right of way runs through.

I’m afraid you’re probably right. I read a lengthy article today which suggested we’re in this mess for at least the next eighteen months, and that we are unlikely to see a return to life anything like what it was in 2019 for probably five years.

Not sure what that’s based upon, but truly depressing if true.

Do you have a link to that please?

If everyone obeyed the rules we wouldn’t be in this mess

I accept the risk, if I still have to go to work, still pay my taxes then I deserve some modicum of happiness.

If everyone didn’t observe the rules then we wouldn’t be in this mess either.
There’s a time to say no and now is the time because if we don’t we accept years of this.

I’ll accept Sweden or full martial law. Not half in half out continuation of dilly dallying.

I agree, not the most credible source. But if they are expressly referring to “no golf” (as other news outlets are), I would suggest it has perhaps stemmed from a press briefing. If it doesn’t it seems strange that it is being specifically mentioned.

Listen, folks. I’m not saying I agree with this at all. I’m merely saying what I have seen. Don’t shoot the messenger.
 
From EG

The UK Government has this evening (31 October) announced a one-month lockdown of England, starting at midnight on Thursday 5 November and running until 2 December.

These new measures will see the closure of pubs, restaurants and non-essential retail.

People can continue to exercise for unlimited periods outdoors, either with people from their own households or on a one-to-one basis with one person from another household.

England Golf is working with the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Golf to study the detail, and to establish the exact restrictions on golf clubs and their facilities as the information becomes available.

We will communicate definitive guidance once received from government.

Please continue to consult our social media channels and the England Golf website for all updates via our dedicated coronavirus news pages. This includes our FAQs document which will be reviewed and refreshed at the earliest opportunity.

Our best wishes to you and your families. Please stay safe and well.

Least it's winter now

And that's the selfish, self centered, arrogant attitude of far too many that's put us where we are.

Totally expected. It’s what they are there for in these circumstances.

Along with most here, when I heard Boris say we could take unlimited outdoor exercise with one person from outside our household, I immediately thought, okay, that’s not great, but at least we can play as 2-balls.

Then he said ALL leisure was to shut. Then I read professional sport could continue, but not amateur. And then various news outlets start expressly referring to “no golf”. I’ve merely joined the dots.

I absolutely hope common sense prevails because, frankly, I see no reason we cannot at least play as 2-balls. I see no reason why we can’t continue to play golf as we have been for the last six months but with clubhouses shut, for all that matter.

But during this entire sorry saga, common sense has been in staggeringly short supply. There’s evidence aplenty on these pages alone at times.
