When do you think you will next play golf?

[pendodave]

Yes it was in 2 counts, firstly because 80% of those I saw were in this age group. As such I actually think I toned it down from the reality of what I saw. Secondly, these are the higher risk age groups who should be showing more care, not less. I have nothing against anyone in any age group, I am nearly 50 myself so not exactly a kid, and I merely am telling it how it is. Really cannot understand how a statement of fact is in any way prejudiced. The only reason the line you crossed through is not relevant would be if the members in question were not predominantly of an older age, they were, or if age was not a relevant factor, it was bearing in mind the advise about higher risk age groups. Please do not accuse me of a prejudice that does not exist.

This was exactly my experience on the same weekend (minus the committee members). It will be interesting to see (not just on the golf course) how the behaviour of this demographic changes as the lockdown gradually eases. After all, unless there's some dramatic change over the next few weeks, It will still be with us.

Hopefully in a few weeks

Probably get the all clear to play the day after my furlough ends.

Went for a walk on our track yesterday. It’s dry...pictures a bit blurry as I’m rubbish with my phone as can’t focus close...

Strange as the problem on that final Sunday at our club was the group of 30 & 40 somethings who have a regular roll-up and made it quite clear that they had no intention of complying with the guidelines.

Apparently, according to their "spokesman" coronavirus doesn't affect their age group and is only a problem for older people!

As and when there's a relaxation of the recommendations I don't think that you will need to worry unduly about the actions of older members as, when possible, they will choose to play during the week.

Received an email from Gleneagles on Friday advising that they hope the courses will we-open on the 15th May and the members online booking has been re-opened to allow us to book times should they have the go ahead, fingers crossed as I have booked more than just a few rounds hoping it's all go.

My course is looking lush, we have our head Greenkeeper uploading videos for some educational therapy also ????‍️

 

[Jokki]

I hope it wiil through 5 days!

We need rain. Weather forecast suggests we'll get it.

Keep well hydrated.Have you got any covid symptoms Homer?

My tart hasn't been too well the last few weeks, she works in radiology dept but got tested on thursday and she's negative thankfully.

Had a fever that came on suddenly (apparently a classic symptom), bit of a dry cough and short of breath without struggling to breathe. Had my test Friday, got a call yesterday which was inconclusive and back to Ascot this morning for a re-test. Apparently when I got there at 11.00 I was about the eighth re-test so not sure if it was a bad tester, the test isn't that good or what.

Had to wait for my slot so nipped to the club. Gates locked but practice ground mown and looking good and got out of the car and looked down the first and looking mint. Hoping with Boris back tomorrow we're not be long before he says we can play and hoping my test result tomorrow is negative so I don't miss the boat

That is the view I always had of that hole, out of the trees on the right. Assume it is the 8th. Did have a two there once.

Ah right you missed those symptoms off your other post, weird you never had it but today you did have it...?‍???

Here’s the post for reference....

Turns out my "wobble" on Thursday may be more. Got sent home. Hit me like a freight train when I got in. Sick, upset stomach, and then fought a fever for next 24 hours. Managed to get a test, ironically at Ascot racecourse. Just had a phone call and "inconclusive" so got to go and be retested tomorrow. Been taking paracetamol regularly and fever has reduced but not got dry cough and test tight when I do but hoping that's the strain of throwing up. Blood sugars through the roof too.

Part of me naturally hopes this isn't the virus but it then begs the question what would come on so quickly. One of the main symptoms seems to be sudden onset. Hopefully the test tomorrow will confirm one way or another Been sleeping on and off since Thursday afternoon but thinking may be dehydrated which accounts for the spike in bloods. Any which way not feeling tickety boo but managed to get up and eat a little

I enjoyed Farnham, SiLH hosted a few of us one HFH.
It’s a course of two halves; part heathland part parkland.

Martin , given the symptoms you've described and the fact you had gone to a second Coronavirus test do you really think it was wise to leave that test centre?
I ask as we have just had a Zoom call with a very good friend from up North who is a palliative care nurse normally but now helps covid patients coming out of hospital, who whilst watching the news recognised a name mentioned on a report from the local hospital as one of her future patients to only find out the next day he took a turn for the worst and alas passed away at just 53 .
As other thread is now closed for the moment, if you work in a hospital as does Martin there is a test that gives results in 4 hours .
Speedy recovery Martin .

Nice to see Farnham. Haven't played there in ages. My wife is an Elstead girl and her mum is still in the village.

Back on theme, there is an email doing the rounds on Welsh golf FB page down here saying there will be an announcement on 7th to say courses can open mid May with restrictions. The email was to give clubs time to prepare.

....some saying it's a spoof....others saying it's kosher!

I don't know.

 

[IanM]

....and I've just checked my work calendar for tomorrow.... got a call with someone at DCMS. I might ask a few pointed questions that are nothing to do with my Programme

Yup the eight with the rebuilt bunker Which makes it a lot harder to reach the green with your drive as the ground takes the ball into the bunker unless you are lucky....?. Don’t think I have ever driven it...

 

[Jamesbrown]

Hopefully sometime this summer or it won’t be at all this year as I pack up for winter bar the range.
I’ve took a year off and was supposed re-join this year. Though that may not be worth my time and will nomad it for another year.
