ADK upstate or WNY upstate?

 

I live in Rochester and we’re still a few weeks away from our peak impact. Keep in mind that It’s only April. If we do right by the stay at home, there’s hope that we’ll be able to see these rules eased sooner than later.

 

We’re all in this together.

ADK Upstate. We're open now.

There's a whole other thread about this, but we are able to golf in both Florida and Georgia.  I'm currently out with really painful back pain, and don't know when I'll resume playing.  But if I was healthy I would be playing.

The governor of New York is colossal asshat IMHO, but he's simply a reflection of his constituents, again IMHO.

I agree but take exception to the "constituents" comment. Just because I live here makes me a constituent but me and most of NY thinks he's an asshat. He only won the 4 large cities and lost all other counties in the last 2 elections. New York City controls him and he makes all decisions based on what will give him the city votes. Do you realize that there is a lot more to the state than that big s*** hole on the southern tip? 

Wasn't the Florida governor the one who thought that churches shouldn't be included?

Here in PA we are completely shut down WHICH SUCKS!!!! Don't understand why we couldn't have the restrictions and changes that other states have. The boredem is really kicking in and could really use a round. Eveyrone have seperate cart, contactless payment, and play some golf. Really looking forward to when this is lifted. Jealous of other statest that can still play.

Our governor finally let courses in upstate open and now it has snowed for 3 days straight. Next week looks warmer.

Scoot,

 

Sorry NY is closed for business.  Specially upstate where much fewer outbreaks vs the city.  I'm north of Atlanta and most courses are open.  Home course has nice putting, chipping, and driving range.  Bathrooms closed.  Mats spread 10-12".  One to a cart unless family member.  Social  distancing marked off in clubhouse.  Other than that , feels pretty normal.  Hope your Gov relents on upstate soon. 

Yes, he finally gave permission to open in upstate!

Ohio is still open for golf as long as the course follows certain safety procedures. I played a course last weekend, Denison Golf Club, and there were no flag sticks. It forced me to aim at the center of the green. I played to my handicap and I'm convinced it's because I wasn't pin-seeking. I read an article that night that best thing that ameteur golfers could do is aim for the middle of the green!

I gave up on pin seeking a few years ago and it did help. Now I only look at the slope of the green and aim accordingly.

I live in rural upstate New York. Initially we could golf but now our Governor has decided that golf is dangerous and has forced the courses to close. It seems ridiculous to make rules for the whole state based on the tragedy COVID19 has caused in  New York City. What is your state doing? Can you still golf and what are the specific rules being used to promote social distancing?
