Back to the net then. Not surprised and in the scheme of things is hitting a ball in a big field necessary? I get the mental well being bit but my course is a 15-20 minute drive and is that essential?

...Can anyone recommend a driving net and mat? Was just getting back into it and don’t want to lose the momentum
Exactly. Add in the wet and muddy condition of my course then it's perhaps a blessing in disguise. Give the course a chance to rest and hopefully if the lockdown is only until mid-February we'll reap the benefit when it reopens.

Weird that Scotland have said it is ok...
It is what it is, but it is going to be so frustrating to see loads of people on walks around courses, whilst we're not allowed to play golf on them.

At least we'll be at work this time so it won't feel as bad

Certainly no less essential than garden centres.

Schools not open because they will help spread the virus, but playgrounds are ok

And places of worship as long as you don’t mix with people outside your household or support bubble
Indeed. Aren't Scotland also back into a full lockdown but courses open. I wonder if the EGU will make a stronger lobby this time. I am working on the premise that it's no golf until I hear otherwise. Set the bar low

Bugger, was just hitting a bit of form as well!
Frustrating given golf is one of the most socially distanced activities you can do, its essentially a one way walk! Having said that, I can completely understand why and I could never really justify my 15 minute drive to the club as essential.
One last push hopefully!

Realistically, there’s no way the wider lockdown is only until mid-Feb. But you never know, golf might be allowed again as one of the first things which will start to be allowed from then.

Indoors v outdoors I guess

Personally, I think it’s right that more or less everything shuts down. The messaging needs to be clear: stay at home. Once we get into stay at home except for x, y, z it seems the population at large starts to take the mickey.

Luckily, bought a new net today from Costco. 2.4m x 2.4m with sturdy metal frame for £60.
