Whoopee can play

[jim8flog]

Following representations from our manager we have been told we can play on our 9 hole course (which is largely in Somerset ) following Tier 4 rules.

Now just to hope it stays dry and it does not get closed due to flooding.

Just hope tonight's statement does not put us in complete lockdown.

I suspect full lockdown is coming til spring.

The manager did reference tonight's briefing in his email. I had not even realised there was going to be one. I thought the next one was going to be on the 16th.

Maybe he is just going to warn all children if they do not go back to school they will not get a present from Santa next Christmas

I am in 4th week of the Welsh ban on sports that are not called cycling! To be honest, the weather has been shocking so might not have played anyway in the 3 weekends so far. The Welsh FM might follow the Scottish Model, but I doubt it.

Getting to be a wizard on my putting mat. No excuses when we reopen!

Scotland appears to have kept courses open (for locals) from tomorrow, despite the tougher rules. Fingers crossed this is the same south of the border.

Believe Police and PPO turned up. Taken along time before action was taken.

Will be interesting to see if Llany get anywhere with taking it forward, as think they are registered under England Golf and have a few holes(4?) in England.

Shame really as one of the drier courses in Shropshire during winter

Hopefully courses will be allowed to stay open as it’s exercise and good for mental health

Thought you lived in Tier 3 (for now).....?

Hopefully we will be allowed to play in 2 balls, not sure how far or if we'll be allowed travel to the course. My course is in the same council/health board area and only 4 miles away. Awaiting instructions from Scottish Golf and our Club, so fingers crossed

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Thinking your joy may be short lived after tonight. Whether EGU can persuade government that 2 balls for exercise and well being is still doable is another question

We were in tier 4 but the 18 hole course is in Dorset who were in tier 3.

It seems he's to blame

Comedy is all about the timing.
I laughed with you Jim, not at ...

So how did that work then as it wasn’t allowed?

No players in who lived in Tier 4 were allowed on either course at all because the clubhouse etc, including the 1st tee to the 9 hole course were in Tier 3. Anybody who lived in Tier 3 was allowed to play.

What was scheduled up until last night was that all Tier 4 members would be allowed to play the 9 hole course but Tier 3 members would not so no mixing. We have two car parks and one of them adjoins the tee for for the first hole so we would also not share the same car park.
