I’m torn on this one. I’ve elderly parents I need to protect but I pass more people exercising by walking around than I ever do on the course. We see parks and beaches littered with people and as we can’t get online food shops we end up queuing to get in places around more people.
It seems when we need as many open spaces as possible, more are closing. Did they do the right thing or did they bolt too early when they should maybe have been proving some reasoning?
P.s. no name calling people as self centred or selfish. We’re all entitled to genuine opinion.
At the moment, this is the correct decision.
Problem is playing golf requires a course to be maintained which means people travelling to work and using the equipment, break areas etc. As well as possibly have child care issues at home. And lets be honest, we all know that there will be idiots who will continue as normal in terms of sharing transport, shaking hands, putting balls in a hat, tending flags etc.
As a sport, golf is probably as safe as sport as can be played with physical distancing in place, and I'd hope would be one of the first sports back when things start getting back to normal.
I feel the 1 hour of exercise is something that is essential for physical and mental health. If someone was just staying in for 3 weeks and even going to the shop 4 or 5 times a week, it would not be good for either.
