Perhaps we can play on our own but share each hole with 3 players? ?
When do you think you will next play golf?

Everyone I know who is furloughed is desperate to get back to work and incredibly worried that they won't have a job to go back to.

That's what I'm saying - it's better to have 2-4 people on a golf hole than 50 people on the same area of ground in a park. It's getting silly now.Perhaps we can play on our own but share each hole with 3 players? ?

He said "from Wednesday "...not ON Wednesday if the course cant be prepared in time for Wednesday then the course opens Thursday...or Friday...or whenever.

I don't think only I should be allowed to play golf I think everybody should. Pointing out how ludicrous the situation is is justifiable. You're the only person who seems to have a problem with it. Just ignore my posts from now on or block them if you must.

My home course was ready to play on Friday, it was already cut and prepared and on Friday they put the flags back in and the tee markers out. They have already altered the BRS to reflect the new tee times and the fact that we will have two courses of ten holes each open. We will only be allowed to play ten holes per day in order to accomodate as many members as possible.
It won't make any difference if it is one, two, three or four balls everything is already in place.

Doing the maths, if it's 1 balls every 10 minutes and 9 holes only, we could probably play once every 3 days...
If my wife caddied, would that count as sport with the family?

SoS for DCMS confirms here that golf is allowed... solo and family only.

I don't repeat it day after day as you suggest but only when there's a reason for it. We've just had a statement from the prime minister which doesn't make any sense when it comes to social distancing in a park as opposed to a golf course. I think it's reasonable to point that out. Also when I first came on this site most people disagreed with me when I said I thought we should be able to play golf and you were one of the loudest. You seem to have changed your tune now. I won't block you as I don't mind differences of opinion but I do mind being told I can't give my opinion.

I don't think that can be described as an official announcement.

He’s the Secretary of State for sport, how much ‘more’ official do you need?

Singles and household only just won't work imo. If I was a betting man I'd say stand by for some golf specific guidelines in the next few days. Borris wouldn't have had time to go into specifics on tv

Basketball? Strange one to single out
As Laura stated, there’s 50 odd pages to fill in the gaps, but I expect in any circumstances, some clubs may open sooner than others, or, England golf will recommend to clubs they open booking of tee times on xyz day and open the course 3-5 days later, possibly longer, to allow the greens staff to prepare the course that little bit better, whilst also highlighting and allowing time for each club to announce their specifics guidelines.
There are hoops in parks, especially around London, so you can obviously shoot hoops on your own, but can now play one-on-one in a public place with a member of your own household as it involves contact.

Not too strange, one on one basketball on local outdoor courts is pretty popular. There are hoops on all the local authority hard courts round here.

So as we can now undertake unlimited exercise what is to stop me going to a local recreational field with a club and a tube of balls and practice my chipping and pitching even if course doesn't open up?
And if i can do this what is to stop me from arranging to meet a mate of mine at the same time so he can do the same as long as we respect the distancing rules?
If both of these are ok then why would it not be possible to play doubles with none family members at the local course?
