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.
There shouldn't be 1 rule for all. Then we'll all be locked down until the pubs can open and we're able to go to football matches and concerts and who knows when that will be. We should open up different shops, businesses and leisure activities when it's deemed safe and everything should be judged on it's own merits.

Got an email from my club today - along with various docs re proposals from the Italian Golf Federation
Need to see how various proposals RE numbers etc works - they described 2, 3 or 4 as options
They did even talk about competitions - but no shotgun starts

It looks like May 18th may be a possible starting date for Italy

I think it really depends on how easing lockdown from Monday 4th goes
And usual caveats apply - if positive or symptomatic - or in living with or in contact with someone who is - you can't play

Yep. Pretty much everything introduced in life goes through build up phases. This will be the same with the current situation. Eventually, life will be back to some normality. It's not all going to happen at once, and things like fishing and golf are likely to be early because of how they are operated. Things like pubs, restaurants, etc are likely to be later.

For what it's worth, a club around the corner from me emailed their members today, indicating that they will be ready to go on 8May, if they are allowed to do so.

It's a difficult balancing act for the Government, lift it too early & as deaths rise they will get hammered.
Lift it too late & we risk mass unemployment & huge business failures, the economy will be trashed & life will be lost anyway due to a lack of prosperity.

Ultimately, the Government is no different to you & me, we can only lock down for so long, regardless of the virus at some point the lockdown will be lifted to enable the economy to function.
Without an economy, we have nothing & that includes the NHS.

Just had a look on BRS and our place has quite a few bookings in for w/c May 11th. Am guessing just wishful thinking but you never know.

Members have carried on booking on our BRS system - nothing wrong with hedging your bets. They might not get what they want, particularly as quite a number are booking for 4-balls, the likelihood of that happening being fairly remote.

We've been told that anything currently on the booking system will be voided & new arrangements put up once they are known.

To be honest, I'm really not bothered as I have no appetite for it at all at the moment. None whatsoever.

Not much interest either, too much serious *** happening in the world to get excited about golf.

Even if I was missing it I would be giving the obsessed a wide berth the first few weeks.

Crown have just contacted all members about a potential re-start on May 11th. I had advance news of this last night and did help to change the wording of some of the comments. For May, play permitting, there will be no visitor play at Crown courses, just members and their guests. 2-balls at 8 minute intervals. Now just waiting on some our less tolerant members to start complaining and wanting competitions to start immediately.

No visitor play is great news, we should be able play safe.

Ireland have just extended their restrictions until 18/5.
A slight relaxation in that they can travel up to 5km from home to exercise
Could be an indicator for us..
