Before I had minor surgery on my back the doctor told me to lose some weight according to the bmi index. I just nodded. I then took my shirt of so he could examine me (I was sub 10% at the time). He said "yeh, scrap that I'll book you in" ?. Like wolf said. Bmi was out of date 20 years ago

My mate 18st 6 foot tall doctor had him down as obese.
He is a rugby player built like a brick outhouse hardly any fat on him at all.

so plenty of papers are quoting "Boris 5 stage plan" today putting golf in the 3rd stage, ie end of June, others are expecting them to be in the first phase either this monday or next

take your pick people, which guess is right (one will see joy on this forum the other will probably see it combust completely!)

I’ll most likely cry if they confirm it for end of June.

My guess is end of this month.

The reports do seem odd that golf would only be allowed at the same time as 5 a side football based on the respective risks

And the lies the BMI problem. I am 56years, 6ft and 13st. Was told at my yearly health check I was Obese due to my BMI reading. I asked what I should weigh. Unbelievably I was told 9 and half stone. I ain’t been there for 40 years... Shen then said my cholesterol was to high at 5.5 and prescribed me Statins. My daughter is a nurse and said she was bank out of order doing that.

Bmi for 6ft tall is 9.5 to 13 stone.

For first month: It looks like we'll be two balls and tee booking. Differentiating between peak time (7:30am-2:30pm) and off-peak. Request is that a member only books two peak slots a week to give folks a chance and if you can play during the week then please book your peak slots then and not at weekends. Usual roll-up slots are suspended - plus no visitors (inc members visitors) or societies - and any Open comp in first month cancelled. Pro shop will monitor bookings...

Going to see how the demand plays out for the first few days and first weekend. I've got a net and mat coming Tuesday so plenty of chance now to get my swing sorted at home and no need to rush back. If I can wander up around 4.00pm and play without too much hassle then all good

Have heard we will be 2 ball only, every 10 minutes, online booking, 9 holes only. I'm guessing the latter is to get people on in the initial rush.

I’m surprised you hadn’t already got a net & mat already ?

Use to be able to get to the club very easily via public transport. Not really fancying using that too often at the moment. Left it too late after lockdown to get a mat straight away and so had to wait three weeks for delivery. Managed to find a decent 9ft x 12ft net online at a good price and quick delivery
