No golf again!

[Orikoru]

Looks like I picked the wrong year to take out a full membership subscription for the first time. ??‍

Here we go again!
National Lockdown in England.
No golf from Wednesday.

Think you will find it is effective immediately

Well it wouldn't be a Boris briefing without a healthy dose of confusion would it? As usual it was clear as mud whether we can play tomorrow or not. He said restrictions come in tomorrow but don't become law until Wednesday. So tomorrow do what you like basically? Hard to tell. I have a booking tomorrow so I'm just going to wait and see if the club lets me play or not.

Good timing in a way.....the next couple weeks are probably just more yucky weather and the courses are a mess. Back to the computer games and.....banjo.

Yep, same here. No golf in November, couple of rounds in December due to wet/snow, and now nowt until who knows when.

Will be interesting to see if the club do anything in terms of extending the membership beyond 12 months etc. Otherwise, that’s £400 down the swanny for me.

Saying that, agree that full lockdown is the right thing to do.

No chance in me getting anything back - we're already on a cheaper pro-rata deal for Jan til May which is their renewal date.

I'll just book a week off when lockdown ends and play every day to make my money's worth back.

Bloody annoying but, ultimately, the correct decision.
Good job I managed to get out today.
I feel this 6 weeks is going to be hard....very hard.

Well we managed over two months in March , we managed 4 weeks in November - I’m sure we can manage 6 weeks during the worst weather months , just think about how well the course will be when they reopen ?

 

[BiMGuy]

Just had notification on V1 that our place is closed immediately.

 

[HankMarvin]

Feel for you guys I really do.

I mean no golf that would do my head in

Outrageously busy

Not worried given the weather and the circumstances. However, it's a bit ironic that my golf club leases a quarter of the council owned park where I'll do my exercise. And as it will be the least populated bit, that's where I shall walk. Without my clubs of course.

I know you’re trying to look on the bright side, but... It will be more than six weeks, and the course will still be a bog in March

And places of worship as long as you don’t mix with people outside your household or support bubble

I'm told God is everywhere, can people not pray at home as save the NHS? I'm sure he/her/it will hear.

Anyway. Bollocks. nuff' said.

If it means coppers can catch those who are out and about for no reason. It's a good thing. Lets hopefully grab this by the plums, so we can have a semi normal spring.

The document is out on gov.uk already

From midnight tonight

Will become law on Wednesday

My course already announced their closed

 

[Hercules]

Another insane decision
Lockdowns do not work. If they worked things would have improved by now

 

[Bassfisher]

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.

Absolutely agree! So many people have a good reason to be an exception!

I'm sorted. I've just restrung my guitar.

I believe he said it will be law from wed, but asked the people to start right now!
