When do you think you will next play golf?

[OnTour]

June 20th - not really fussed tbh golf is unimportant along with the premier footballers who think they also have a right to avoid the lockdown period to play football. one rule for all or get ready for normal life and 10000's more death a month.

Get the pubs/club bar open share a few used glasses from your fellow idiot covid19 spreaders.

I received this from a friend a while back, Its apparently a leaked government document that Michael Gove denied and later inadvertently made reference to - I was very skeptical. With BoJo's announcement yesterday the "red phase" would appear to be accurate. It will be interesting to hear what he has to say next week but to quote BoJo from a response he gave to the Spectator news paper "We're considering only a very small easing of the lockdown to include some recommencing of outdoor activities".

My prediction is golf will be allowed from the 11th May.
I will adhere to all guidance given and exercise what sometimes seems to be lacking in today's society - Common Sense.
Seeing as I haven't played since January, I'll be on the course on my own for at least 9 holes most days of the week.

I don't get the red phase part allowing hairdressers to reopen as one of the first businesses considering we will still need social distancing measures.

Totally agree, I said the same thing to my wife and she said "most women will go the the hairdresser once every 3-4 weeks" My response of what a waste of money didn't go down well!

i hope its soon in fact why not just relax the whole lot as of now??

from the way some people around here behave we might as well.

so basically that says we are almost back to normal on June 11. Not a chance. No way will cinemas and pubs be open by then.
and not sure why hairdressers get called out as special?!
that looks like its been made by a newspaper (daily fail probably)

Lets see what happens...

i think the red and amber phases seem sensible apart from the hairdressers and the restaurants.
The green phase is impossible to put a date on until its clear the cases are manageable

Agree, hairdressers is a weird one, this and restaurants in the amber phase was what led me to be doubtful this was of any relevance and why I didn't bother posting it. I dug it out of my email bin this morning after hearing what BoJo said last night.
The green phase if credible would be based on "performance" during red and amber, surely.
If restaurants did open, common sense for me would say stay away but as already mentioned by others there will always be people who lack common sense and be stupid about it.

There’s a video doing the rounds on social media of a man & his son playing on a course.
He might aswell take up another sport now ?

I've made a very small contribution to this thread, however, there's a very interesting article today in the Daily Telegraph, which echoes many of my, and my partner's (works in the medical world) thoughts.

I can see the hairdresser part being a concession to personal wellbeing and mental health. Ladies hairdressers I can sort of see in that they are generally appointment only and more spaced out. May need temp checks or masks though. as for barbers, there is no way that the Saturday morning scrum at my local barbers counts as social distancing.

Not sure.
He’s getting hammered on Twitter tho.

Starting to look like May 11th will be the day here.

Bars open (terraces only) with limited capacity then, so I'd imagine that will mean golf clubs can open as well.
