Why? Golf is far safer than a visit to the supermarket or a walk along any public path that is busier now than at any time in the past.
When do you think you will next play golf?

Quite agree but the ho har when Golf is mentioned by those that will put it down to a rich mans sport and not fair and all the other misconceptions, will it be worth any government's hassle. Dont get me wrong, been in a week of zoom with our committee's and owners and we can seen no problem of getting back on the course.

We normally ask the Boy Scouts to do this and make a donation to them.
More than a bob.
They do a great job and we have had a few join the juniors and go on to full members.
But it’s not allowed atm.

The club has warned about raised expectations. To be fair as long as the greens are true, if slow then that's fine for social golf and realise it'll take time to get the club up to full condition as and when we get more staff in to work

The more policy is decided on optics rather than the actual chances of spreading the virus, the less notice people will take of it. Treat people like idiots and sooner or later they'll behave that way.

I reckon you’ve sussed it.....you only need two green keepers....mega cost saving there.....
I bet your last club are glad you left if you were something of greens....as has your the green keeper at your last place......

Oh I don’t believe anything atm. We’ll get the nod when we get it.
I’d very much prefer it to be sooner than later.

Actually we only have four and two have been working all the time.
As for your comment regards green keeper at last place. His words not mine. Best ever green chair he had ever worked with in 32 years.
As for my lawn, front, side and back of house its In very good condition as I learnt what it takes from my last green keeper to make a course work, instead of being an arm chair expert.
so I’m sorry if your course ain’t ready n will take weeks to be made ready. If that’s the case I would be asking what the staff been doing For last seven weeks with no members digging it up and leaving pitch marks everywhere.

Looks inviting, some where in Scotland ?
Thats not a golf course, it’s an open field, you can miss the fairways 100yds left or right and still see the green ?
I reckon I’d be off scratch playing there, no need for #YOTF and Homer would be off single figures ?
Do you get an extra 20 shots when you travel to play, if you do, places like this.....thank god for slope ranking eh ?

HaHa, well your welcome to see how you get on. 6500yds par 72 off whites. You looking at two dog leg left then right Par 4 in pic. But do like look of your course. Not sure what our slope rating will be heard tale 235 but no idea if that right or what means as yet.

When I look at this I don't think of how nice it looks I think of how hard it must be when the wind picks up. Am I right?
Very nice. Is that Skipton, as per your location?
