When do you think you will next play golf?

Great round today with course in fine condition though the greens were covered in seed-heads as they don't want to stress the grasses especially with frost around presently.
I played Par/Bogey & lost by 3 on the front but by just 2 on the back....... more than satisfactory & no injuries so I'll be back again this Fri & Sat.

Got out again today & the greens had fewer seed-heads as we've had our last frosts & they'd dropped the cutters
Playing Par/Bogey I won the front 9 1-Up....... & finished All-Square over the 18 so well, well pleased...... such a tough unrelenting fgormat.

We’re opening on Monday, and I managed to get a slot at 8:20am (3rd tee time of the day). Single players only, (unless playing with someone from the same household) teeing off every 10 mins.

Cannot wait to tee it up on Monday! ?

Out this afternoon with HID. Boy it was good to be back

When do we think we'll get a game in Scotland? Saw a suggestion that recycling centres will open here 1st June so maybe that's the date for things to be eased.

I hope it is before then. No reason to not be playing sensible golf.
R number in Scotland seems to be driven by care homes. Totally messed up on that front. #golfissafe .

R number UK wide driven by the debacle in care homes

At one point at least 50% of deaths were in care homes. Horrible fact is that all these people were staying at home.

We have been using 8 minute intervals and it has been fine, absolutely no bunching up. No need to space out times any further.

Everything about the two 9s I've played has confirmed that golf is by far the safest thing I've done while leaving the house since March. Hopefully they'll let you out sooner rather than later.

In 45mins at 10:30. Will leave home at 10:10. 5mins to club. 5mins to get gear sorted. 2mins practice putt. Onto tee. Ready. Inevitable topped tee shot ?

I think Scotland will be 1st June as the next official review is on 28th May. Anything earlier would be a bonus. I'm a bit worried that if the numbers do start going up in England (which would be nothing to do with golf) the Scottish govt take fright and lock us up for even longer.

In northern ireland we are hoping that golf will get the greenlight as of next week. Announcement monday.

This is based on the fact they have opened garden centres, angling is to resume Monday so leaving golf out seems odd as we have shown that we can do it safely.

Because of physical fitness issues (eg two athletic low handicappers following two high handicappers with walking difficulties), we have found that after about 5/6 holes (10 minute intervals) there is some bunching up. It hasn't actually been a problem because we are only playing 9 holes (front or back) and players have been very sympathetic/tolerant of the slower pairs. Most players have found the interval quite relaxing and there are enough tee times available for all. 1hr 30 to 1.40 is the norm.

We have a hilly course and the usual demographics of members. Like I said, no issues with 8 minute intervals ?

Excellent. Is that in twos?

A derry politician has posted on Facebook that courses will be open from tomorrow in the north.

Cant find any more updates.

Update. Someone on the team jumped the gun.

Tomorrow, 1.14

Powakaddy battery charged, skycaddie watch charged. Clubs in car. Have to play on own so that the Welsh FM has been seen to do something different from Boris... no idea if I’m allowed to drive to the course because the messages are so rubbish.

but golf is Golf, and tomorrow it’s back

4.00pm on Wednesday subject to getting a time. First day we are opening up to 18. Definitely playing 18 on Friday (day off) and then all weekend.

First of June in Renfrewshire for recycling/dumps opening. Think I'll wait a few days before filling the car. Got loads to get rid of.
