    Also be very interested in this

    Sorry, it came up in my Facebook feed and I can't find it again. I think it was one of those golf magazines or something doing a comp with accommodation optional. And if I remember correctly a final on a parkland like carton House or somewhere like that. And I think they were doing a second one because the first sold out.

    I'm pretty sure I didn't dream it.

    Given the latest figures and positive leaks from government circles, I'm beginning to hope that the two household rule for golf could be ditched. Fingers crossed.

    I don't think so, anywhere I've seen is members only but I'm sure once the next wave of eased restrictions are announced next week they will start allowing visitors where possible. I'd imagine a lot will depend on timesheets in the beginning of May, a lot of members will be annoyed if half the day is gone with green fees on a Saturday so I think society golf is a non-runner in the short term but who knows. A lot of places will want money fairly badly you'd think.

    Clubs will get some serious flack if they have societies out and members can't get on the timesheeet.

    Some clubs will badly need the money though. They might be in jeopardy already as regards being sustainable, so might have to allow a few societies or green fees.

    Once you don't go over the top with non member slots on the time sheet and make sure members appreciate why you're doing it some members will be understanding. And lots of members won't at all and will want all times to be member only even if it means the club could go under.

    Maybe something like the 7 hole course in Grange Castle might be taking in non member bookings as its separate to the main 18?

    Outside of Dublin country club type spots are taking visitors, places that have too much land and too few members.

    Can't imagine any of your large membership'd clubs will be taking visitors till midsummer at earliest.

    Yes ranges can Open. Professionals can coach kids but not adults.

    That's one of the most ridiculous restrictions. 15 kids can be coached but adult 1 to 1 is forbidden.

    There really is no logic to the sporting restrictions/re opening.

    No sense to it whatsoever. Professionals being stopped from making a livelihood.

    Read some stat on instagram(so probably take it with a pinch of salt) but out of 20 million rounds of golf played in Canada last year, there was not one case of covid transmission related to a game of golf being played

    I love that argument. If stopping for coffee is so dangerous, close coffee shops not golf clubs.

    Anyway...

    The logic is age related older people generally have worst outcomes from this virus and one to one coaching in a typical golf lesson for an adult can occasionally result in very close contact. Surely one to one lessons could come back with Coaches maintaining their distance from their pupils though??

    I agree with your last sentence but I believe your argument was not part of the process. After 13 moths we know nuance and detail regarding activities are never part of the process.


    All adults sports(Non elite) are lumped together so when your local GAA, soccer club get the go ahead for adult training--golf coaching will get the OK.
