Bet it pours with rain in two days time...
When do you think you will next play golf?

- Start date
Met Office saying cloudy and 12 degrees (feeling like 8) and gusty 26mph winds for my course so hardly ideal. Might leave it!
Boris said the words ‘sport’ and ‘Wednesday’ in his speech?
Get away, you will be straight out 😄. The sheer joy of getting out will make the weather irrelevant.

But as I recall referred also specifically to that sport being with members of your household.
And having spent the last seven weeks with only HID for company, I’m certainly not taking her to the golf course. It would be the end of me.

Take that weather any day of the week at Silloth, scorching hot and flat calm 
Interesting point. Most ranges would meet social distancing once you are on there but I wonder about paying and receiving a token to get balls. Shops still taking cash (reluctantly) so I guess its feasible. I am sure mot would want to open especially if golf clubs re-open. I've two nearby so I'll check their websites tomorrow for their take on it.
I’ve just had an e mail from England golf saying golf can resume on Wednesday. England only, courses to remain closed in Wales and Scotland.

R&A guidelines drawn up a few weeks ago said practice area would depend on adequate sanitising and social distancing
EG statement.
In conjunction with The R&A, home nations, PGA and other industry partners, England Golf has jointly released the following statement.
The UK Government has announced that golf will be able to resume in England on Wednesday, 13 May 2020. All outdoor sport must be done alone or within a household group and that includes golf. There is no change to the current position in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales and so golf courses in these countries must remain closed for now.

Will be interested to see how clubs now manage this. Most will be solo golfers so roughly 60 people out a day (maybe the 10 minute proposal will change with solo golfers) so, being fair to all members you may get out once every 10 days at some clubs. Without any rules in place, if you are not quick on the keyboard, you may not get out at all. What about those still working full time, key workers, frontline staff who may not be able to get online quick enough to book or may be only able to play at weekends.
Going to be interesting to see how clubs handle that fairly for all members. Will all clubs open with such limitations on who can play.
