• We'd like to take this opportunity to wish you a Happy Holidays and a very Merry Christmas from all at Golf Monthly. Thank you for sharing your 2025 with us!

No golf again!

I wonder though, what’s the point in closing a golf course if it means a chain of people are put at risk to deliver a driving net to someone :unsure:
Really! You seriously saying you shouldn't buy a net because of the risk to a delivery driver and recipient? How pathetic!!!
I trust you have cancelled all non essential deliverys to your house?

No pizzas either BTW

Really ? Are we getting a bit too pedantic now ?

Should all delivery’s stop then and grind the whole country to a stop
 
Any wonder a 3rd lockdown is needed, that's what's truly pathetic :cry:

All because people are getting items delivered to them ? In a safe manner as well. Every single one of the deliveries we have had not one single driver has come with 10 metres of us

Amazon have been open through all the lockdowns, as have a number of other home delivery options. I see no reason why they should be closed down this time round if they follow their own guidelines.

Personally I bought it in person at Costco, which will also stay open. I just linked to Amazon to show the net I purchased and to provide an alternative, if somewhat more expensive option to purchase in the event that Mike79 didn't have access to Costco.
 
Any statement from Scottish golf confirming that golfers in Scotland can still play in two balls?

Just look at the Scottish Golf website...

As we turn the corner on an extremely difficult 2020, starting 2021 with additional restrictions and further uncertainty is not how anyone wanted to begin the new year.

Following today’s announcement from the First Minister and with an understanding that our affiliated clubs will need to make some adjustments to their business operations, we wanted to provide all clubs with the information we have available to us at present.

As has been the case throughout the pandemic, we have worked alongside both sportscotland and The Scottish Government to demonstrate that golf is a sport that can be played outdoors with physical distancing and increased safety measures in place. We are pleased that this continues to be recognised and from 00.01 on Tuesday 5th January:
  • Golf courses can remain open for play with a maximum of two players from up to two households
  • Golfers must stay close to home, travel only for essential purposes and in line with the new legislation
We are continuing to seek further clarification on a number of the wider aspects for sport from our partners at sportscotland and Scottish Government and as soon as we have sufficient detail with which to work, our more detailed guidance will be updated. We currently envisage being in a position to provide a more in-depth update for all affiliated clubs within the next 24 hours.

Scottish Golf asks that all golf clubs and golfers adhere to the new guidance with the same spirit and integrity that has been shown throughout the last year to ensure we can all continue to benefit from playing golf through this new period of restrictions.

You can stay up to date on all the latest information on our dedicated COVID-19 page here.

Kind Regards,
Karin Sharp, Chief Operating Officer, Scottish Golf
