Return to Golf in Scotland

[CliveW]

Following on from my previous thread that was locked, I have heard a rumour from a fairly reliable source that Nicola will be letting us out to play from the 25th May. Let's hope it's true this time and not another false alarm.

 

[Siolag]

The top story in this mornings Sunday Times Scottish section is suggesting we will hear on Tuesday. 25th would be brilliant.

 

[Doh]

Hope you are all able to get out soon, I went for my first game in seven weeks on Friday I certainly appreciated it.

that would be nice, but not holding mey breath

 

[KenL]

Name your source please, or at least give us an idea of their position.

I hope golf reopens there soon. I also hope you get better definition than in Wales which reopens golf tomorrow.

so far there are the following opinions on travel..

1. You must walk to the course as driving to exercise is not allowed.
2. You can drive locally. No definition of local is given, but driving from Cardiff to Porthcawl is quoted as not local.

anyone’s guess...

Playing golf may provide exercise but the main point is for playing your sport. Have they actually said you cannot drive to your club? Are clubs not allowed to open their car parks?

Is Wales like Scotland where the roads are getting busier by the day? I went past a B&Q the other day, the car park was absolutely full and the queue was much bigger than I've seen at any supermarket.

Dunbar?

 

[CliveW]

Dunbar?

You might think that, but I couldn't possibly comment!

 

[KenL]

Where is it you play Clive? Gullane, NB?

 

[CliveW]

I'm a member at Blairgowrie, but regularly play Dunbar and Gullane.

Love Blairgowrie. Rosemount is the best inland course in Scotland in my book.

 

[KenL]

Assume you play Dunbar via our reciprocal deal?

Hopefully 25th as its holiday Monday

I have heard the very same thing from someone who I think knows what's going on behind closed doors so with that in mind I have just booked 14 days of golf at Gleneagles so fingers crossed we get a definite decision next week.

 

[Doon frae Troon]

I think it has been the Scots Government's intentions to 'loosen the stays' towards the end of May.
At least that was my reading of what they have been saying for the last month.

 

[CliveW]

Assume you play Dunbar via our reciprocal deal?

No. I have a friend who is a member.

Your source which was golden said we'd be golfing weeks ago?
