You think the government/Sport Ireland would agree terms with GUI and allow them to annouce those terms or tell clubs about it before any government announcement? Any clubs opening up bookings this early are getting ahead of themselves IMO but its no different to all of the barbers and hairdressers openly advertising they are taking bookings under the assumption we will be back to an easing of restrictions next week. Assume the clubs will be allowed open next week but i'd be waiting for an annoucement before I opened up tee times if i was a course director.

I’m hoping (beyond all hope probably) that behind the scenes they have been agreeing terms. Of course, they should be letting us know and at the very least the clubs know So yea, questions haven’t been answered yet haha

Gator I wear skiing (makes a huge difference). And a wooly hat. I carry the clubs so can walk with my handfasting hands in my pockets. No need to be faffing about with mitts then. To be honest, I'd only last a couple of holes with all that on when I've no protection from the beach. Otherwise I'll be removing layers. Although I do notice that I like a little more warmth now than when I was younger.

Must get serious cold for that... Golf Mittens (with hand warmers) can be great depending on how you bring your bag around.My fav is a zippo hand warmers, not the cheapest or easiest to use... You get them and fill with petrol and light them, put back cover... They slowly burn away and get seriously warm... They are fire in your pocket...

I only started back after the first lockdown but had played a little when I was a teenager but I hated it as it was Saturday morning Winter golf and all I remember is the cold! Looking forward to getting back into it but not if I can barely hold a club properly. I see you can get a pair of gloves. Is that common or a rarety? I'm under 30 FWIW
