God it’s so depressing how great the weather has been for 7 weeks and the courses have been shut.
Oh and to add to our misery it’s gonna be at least another 3 weeks.
Couldn’t think of a safer thing to be doing FFS.

Why do you need to do that....surely you keep walking or just chuck one down?

Because it keeps some semblance of playing by the rules.?
Although there will be no official competitions there will still be a competitive streak between many players....
But if you want to just chuck one down nobody's going to stop you...

It’s not going to be ‘golf’ it just going to be a glorified walk with some clubs and a ball, sod the Rules.

So...you're not going to worry about any rules..
Not sure why you're waiting for courses to open..might as well just go for a walk in a park instead...

18th May is the date I've been told. Been shown a 5 phase plan by someone in the emergency services, golf is in phase1. All supposition, but let's hope it's true.

heard this from someone else in the fire service round your way yesterday, the document hed seen was basically the Irish plan! Distances were in km not miles, sport talked about GAA not the prem league etc
I’m not sure what the obsession is with focusing on a specific date, we’re all itching to get back out there, well most of us anyway, but it’s not like it will suddenly just be announced by our club and we’ll be rushing to the computer to book a tee ?
When the Government relax the lockdown that allows us back on the course, I think we’ll get at least a week’s notice, which will allow our clubs to put into force the guidelines which we will all have to follow, plus any specific ones they may wish to add.
Plus, it will give the Greenkeeper‘s time to give it a push in getting the course more in readiness for us to play.
Then it will pish down with rain for 2 weeks ?

I read similar in our regional newspaper, left me open jawed tbh. Whether many like it or not, lockdown is already ending for many. No amount of stamping feet and indignant outrage is going to stop it. Much better to actively manage this process than try and stop it completely. By allowing outlets like golfing, angling etc and ensuring specific guidlines are in place maintains a semblence of control.

My understanding is that course will be given two, three weeks notice ahead of reopening for this very purpose. That is certainly what BIGGA wish to happen/do. As of yesterday that information had not been passed to clubs or members of BIGGA.

Why would you expect BIGGA to be informed ahead of everyone/anyone else?

Why would the green keepers need two to three weeks to get the course ready ? I walked ours last week and Greens cut, ok maybe need to come down a tad but withno rain forecast possibly not, tees were cut, fairways were mown and holes in Greens. All that’s required is flags and markers out. Most clubs of not all have had some form of greens staff in all lockdown so the courses should t be in a poor state by now.
