All Courses Closed in our Region


Recommended Posts

I hope that trend doesn't catch on. My city owns 5 courses and decided last week to keep them open (and all other public and private courses decided the same). If closing courses catches on it could spread quickly.

IBL. Golf is essential because it keeps me from throttling some poor SOB who crosses my path. My gym's been closed for weeks, so no promises...

I work in infection control. If I get through this year without getting sick it will be 16 years without a sniffle. Nothing. Drives my GP crazy, haha. I only see him when I injure something (more often than I like to admit). But, zero illnesses. Everybody stay safe out there. Leave the pin in. Stop shaking hands. Walk if you can. One other trick I use - I started doing this because my kids play with me. Stick a tee in the green a couple paces from the cup and putt to that. Keep hand sanitizer in your bag and use it.

Update. Our private course is closed but maintained with the gate open. No staff access, clubhouse sealed up. Very quiet out there, but I occasionally see other humans with clubs. The local mega range remained open with every-other station blocked off, along with it's 2 associated tracks open. This is a golf-crazy town. I know of 1 golfer coming down with the bug, in a CC near downtown. County courses have been opened back up, with substantial and effective infection control measures. Funny thing is...they are very busy. You can tell that golf is helping people maintain their mental health. I guess you could say that hasn't changed, huh? OBL...

I am sad that they closed down courses here in NY. However, I understand why. It's because people were not following the rules. I witnessed it myself.

A couple weeks ago I played. When I got there, I watched about 12-15 guys all walk up to the first tee together. Then they all stood around and chatted on the tee box while they waited for their turn to tee off. They were behaving as though it was a normal weekend round.

After my round, as I was putting my stuff back into my trunk I watched 7-8 guys across the parking lot tailgating with beers out of a guy's SUV. They were not anywhere close to 6 feet apart.

The pro at my club told us last week that he had been talking to a couple of the other pros in the area. They told him they had seen a random car pull up to their parking lot at their club, park and sit for an hour and just watched things go on. It was their guess that they were checking for the very behavior I described above. He was worried golf courses would end up getting shut down, and sure enough here we are.

So, yeah. I agree it's very easy to walk 18 and maintain 6 feet of distance. But people seemed to forget they needed to do it before and after the round as well.

My group had an informal “outing” last weekend and we did not gather, but we were able to talk sh*t and enjoy what we saw of each other on the range (spread out of course). We did skins using CashApp where we collected all entries the night before and paid out the skins that evening while validating with pics of scorecards and comparing to the scoring app we use. Our foursome stayed more than 6 feet apart throughout the round and in the parking lot at the end of the round. It was a very safe round.
