New national lockdown from this Wed?

I interpreted what he said as back to 2 balls.

Guess we will have to wait in England for England Golf to advise Club Managers of the precise interpretation.

That's how I've read it as well. Can only meet one person from another household outside so unless it's three from one household playing a 4 ball with one from another household then it's two balls only.
 
Not necessarily; you can apparently only meet people from one other household, so I'm not seeing a reason why I can't play a 3 ball with my usual 4 ball comp partner and his son, still only 2 households mixing.
Thats how it was when we first came back after Lockdown1.....
As we're not going as hard a lockdown as then hopefully golf stays..
But my knee's knackered so I'm not that fussed.....:confused:

I thought that it was only one person from another household, meaning that I can still go and see my mum as long as my stepdad doesn't come out to say hello.

They can play with you - you can’t play with them ... ? though LPs screenshot post suggests not at all.

Measures to last until start of December
Johnson outlines the measures that he says will last until the start of December.
And he lists some of the exceptions for which people can leave their homes, including:
  • for education
  • for work, if you cannot work from home
  • for exercise and recreation outdoors
  • for medical reasons
  • to shop for food and essentials
  • to care for others
If correct, why no golf?

Because all leisure facilities will shut. I don’t doubt England Golf will seek clarification, but most online news articles I’ve read thus far are expressly saying no golf.

I agree there should be no reason, given the advice we can take unlimited exercise with one non-family member, why 2-balls can’t continue with clubhouses shut. But at the moment it seems wishful thinking.

No golf as I understand it. Hopefully people will comply and we can break the rise in cases and get back to a degree of normality in December so businesses and shops can have a few weeks to see some strong trading and make as much as they can before Christmas. That in itself is looking to be a different beast. In laws have already said they aren't coming over so just the two of us. No problem as long as we can have something nice to eat and just enjoy our own company but for those with large families, especially kids, it is going to be tough

See I'm not sure we are allowed out for exercise outside

Will see what golf england say ofc

Won't be that big a deal but it's as clear as mud

Just a thought, why not close the schools and unis now for 4 week, and deduct the 4 weeks from the 8 ? week summer break :confused:

Because this will not be the last lockdown

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.
