I'm not talking about the timing....just the simple theory that if you have a virus in the population......and then you relax restrictions......the virus will then increase in the population.
At some point.....restrictions have to be relaxed. When? No idea.....but you can't keep things locked down forever. Businesses close.....people go nuts, etc etc. The Govt needs to pull in money and you can't do that if business isn't functioning. Right now the Govt is haemorrhaging money......paying for things it doesn't have money to do. Just like a person with an out of control credit card addiction..... you have to get the addiction under control or explode.

Should have been playing Gullane Nr 1 this morning but the arrival of snow has put paid to that. Hope it's all gone by Saturday for my game with Mrs G.

When I'm on works calls with people down South recently nearly every conversation has opened with them saying ' You'll have plenty snow' - In nearly 16 years in Monifieth we've had no more than ten days total where snow has fallen and lain on the course for more than a few hours and four of those days were in a row about 12/13 years ago

Same with me at Dunbar but snowed off as well, if it's not gone by tomorrow it will be by Saturday, due to be playing again on Sunday

Given the rain of the last few days I doubt we'd be playing today - and even though we'll drain well, the playing pressure on the course would inevitably damage fairways - and so I am accepting that we are closed and could be for some time.

I am happy the course is shut. It was borderline playable on the day Boris locked us down and we've had plenty of rain since. I am hoping the green staff are working hard (bunkers are still a problem) and looking forward to a day we get back, with warmer weather and former conditions. I've heard a couple of dates around mid-March so at lease 6 weeks yet. Frustrating yes but still so necessary

Very surprised that I just managed to get a tee time for Saturday lunchtime - weather forecast for then is looking lovely too, hardly any wind and sunshine.

Can we stop with all the Scottish people saying they're playing today or whatever? I really don't think that's what the topic is about.

From the mumbling in the press yesterday re easing lock down, we will be lucky to get a game before May.
good point i'll put a note up when i'm back from playingCan we stop with all the Scottish people saying they're playing today or whatever? I really don't think that's what the topic is about.

Ignore us, it's absolutely miserable weather, you'd hate it anyway. I'm not playing until it's dry again.

It's obviously an English topic about English golf, other countries don't matter.Seemed to be what the topic was about back in May when golf was allowed in England but not Scotland

Everybody else still looking out the window each day to try and assess level of water and how soft the course would currently be despite it having no impact whatsoever as we won't be playing for at least a month!

Kind of but the reverse - i.e. "weather is pretty decent today, would have been lovely to get a round in".Everybody else still looking out the window each day to try and assess level of water and how soft the course would currently be despite it having no impact whatsoever as we won't be playing for at least a month!

Was that not more down a medical experts suggesting that pubs/restaurants shouldn’t be open until May as opposed to restrictions not easing until then
The government won’t be able to afford to keep people locked down until May - thats 4 months lockdown , that’s just not going to happen even more so when vaccines are happening
