Things you'd like not to change post Covid19

[BubbaP]

Played in a competition yesterday in a 3 ball. It was one guys first with the adjusted guidance. To keep things easy, and as we each had a card, we each recorded all three scores. At the end we left the 18th area, did a quick check bewteen us by calling out scores and then each entered them on-line. The score entry checks the tees used, the app knows your handicap, and no card signing - so 3 silly DQ opportunities avoided. I'd be happy to continue like this.

NB, doesn't have to be golf related.

Just entered all 4 scores after each hole in the App. Checked after 9 and checked after 18. No need for any paper here.....

Id agree, however, I also know of some folks that have just been marking their own score and not anyone else’s. Just seems a bit easy to cheat.

More flexible working will be great, not having to go to an office, get stuck in traffic etc would save (for me) 2 hours a day.

more than happy with online ordering of the majority of things, although I know how this would impact small businesses. Want to move to using a butchers for meat going forwards, rather than the cheap cuts you get at a supermarket

 

[SammmeBee]

Oh and the butcher’s delivering!

Respect for essential workers and the NHS.

Sounds good, but are you expecting to have to return to cards and handing them in again?

I hope not now - much easier and leaderboard during the round is really good.

Leaving the pin in.

Looking forwards to taking it out again!

Furlough. Wow, will I miss this.

Taking the pin out on short putts. Really makes the hole look smaller even more so with the lifting device attached

The quieter roads.

The pace of things is gentler, I quite like that.

That bloke that shouts “In the hole!” and “Mashed potato!” and other nonsense to stay away from PGA Tour events.
More quality time at home.
Nice Spring weather.

Don't miss airplane noise at all.

Yep. Crowds at US golf are a good shout (!).
I quite enjoy British crowds though, even the ones that politely clap a shocking bogey.

I miss the (almost) empty roads. I have thoroughly enjoyed the slowed down attitude from most people...'ahh well, it happens when it happens' type thing.

I will be adopting as much of the lock down attitude as I can, I have unashamedly loved it.

Yep, really liked the leaderboard feature and hope its here to stay. If we are trusted to submit our own scores during this period then I hope that we are trusted going forward, so much easier.

I will refuse my next contract extension if they insist on me being in the office as the general norm. No need to be there as the last few months have proved.

People taking walks and exercising more.

Not too sure of there be any advantage for me of seeing a live scoreboard. Last thing I want to see mid-round when things are going quite well is a few scores posted that I haven't a chance of getting close to

If I am starting a round after some have come in I'll not ask or look to see what scores are in...I like to start and then play with a least a modicum of hope

But I have heard others say they like the live scoreboard...

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

The realisation that having to try and live on Universal Credit is not a bed of roses.

And early evening walks with my Mrs.

Changes I would like to keep or to stay in place post Covid:

Limited numbers in shops. Would rather queue outside and have a better experience inside a shop with less people.
Shopping locally. Cannot see me going back to buying most things in supermarkets, going to stick to the local businesses who have changed to help people during this.
More time spent at friends' houses at the weekend rather than meeting in the pub. Purely based on how much I have saved over the covid period.
Spending more time with my wife and family. Not popular on here I am sure but realised that when you are both working all week it was inherently selfish to then spend 5 or 6 hours at the weekend (sometimes both days) playing golf. We are now looking for a sport we can both enjoy. Golf will be a once or twice a month thing going forward I suspect.
A slight easing of the 'I want it now' attitude that many of us have developed.

Those are a few off the top of my head.

People taking walks and exercising more.

We have a dog and so are out walking regularly. At the beginning of this we noticed a major increase in people out walking, often whole families. Now that movement restrictions have been lifted it is back to the same old faces, other dog walkers and some elderly couples who always take walks together in an evening. It is a shame so that so few have kept it going as I suspect a good number of people were doing more exercise than they had in a while.

Well done to those in Seaham if you are still seeing plenty out there walking.
