tony@CIC Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Haven’t been able to play as much golf during the outbreak here in SoCal, so I did the next best thing and adopted this little guy! Still getting out once a week to the course until they all close. What a cute pup!

RoverRick Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Yes, luckily my course will stay open, although with the cups sticking up. The bar and restaurant are sorta closed. You can call in your food or drink order, and they will bring it out to you. Normally there are water coolers on the course, but know there are cases of bottled water. But the gym is locked up, as well as the locker rooms. All tournaments and social events and yoga classes etc are canceled.

perseveringgolfer Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I was playing tomorrow with a tee time- but after seeing the idiots out today I've decided to stay indoors- this is more serious than these morons realise. Parties and mass gatherings the last 2 days means there will be thousands and thousands of covid-19 cases smothering our health service in the next 3-4 weeks! I am so annoyed at them, selfish selfish mofos that will cost other peoples lives!! I expect our PM will enforce a lockdown tonight, he needs to as these people will be our downfall. 4 Driver Awaiting NEW Driver (after 10 yrs) 4 Wood Callaway Big Bertha Steelhead plus 4+ Callaway shaft in 'Firm' flex Hybrid Titleist 910H 19* Diamana ahina 'flower' shaft in 'S' Irons Mizuno MP18SC 4-PW N.S Pro Modus3 Tour 105 in 'S' Wedges Callaway Mack Daddy forged in black 50* and 54* KBS Tour in 'R' Putter 'YES' Tracy 11 C groove 34.5" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfriday101 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I just got back from my course. I didn’t play, but I used the range and the short game practice area. The club is doing all the things recommend, single riders, raised cups, sanitizing carts, et. al. The members are also taking it very seriously. I spent a couple of hours there and didn’t get near another person. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cnosil Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Virginia issued the shutdown today, but golf courses are still allowed to be open. Supposed to be in the 70s this weekend (at least that is today's forecast) so golf is definitely in the plans. 4 Driver: G400 Max 9* w/ KBS Tour Driven Fairway: TS3 15* w/Project X Hzardous Smoke Hybrids: 915H 21* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 24* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype Irons: TR20V 6-11 w/Vizard TR20-85 Graphite Wedge: 54/12D, 60/8M w/:Accra iWedge 90 Graphite Putter: mFGP2 Backups: TM-180, Milled Collection RSX 2, Bellum Winmore 787, Directed Force 2.1 Member: MGS Hitsquad since 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxEntropy Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 We received the following in an email from our league course today, in light of the stay-in-place order. Course closed through 4/6. Once we do open, we will take extra precautions for customers and employees to be in a safe environment. This may include some of the following: - Reduced/Adjustedbusiness hours - Pre-pay by calling in with a credit card or pay credit card through our window (limit cash sales). - Walking only or if you can't walk, single riders only unless you live in the same household. - Tee times spaced out longer so groups don't congregate on the first or tenth tee. - Reduce food service to take out drinks and snacks. - Clubhouse limited to bathroom use only. - Sanitize all surfaces with greater frequency. - Pin rules: Must keep flag sticks in or no flag sticks at all - Cups turned upside down so the ball doesn't get completely holed. 2 Driver: Epic Speed 9* (set -1) MMT 70X 3W: RAZR Fit TourAD something or other 3H, 4H: Tour B JGR 19*, 23* Recoil 780ES 4-AW: Tour B JGR HF2 Modus3 Tour 105 SW: Zipcore Black Satin 54* LW: Zipcore Black Satin 58* Putter: Stroke Lab Marxman Bag: BigMax Dri Active Lite Ball: TP5x Pix Pushcart: BigMax iQ+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. 82 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Still going strong here in North Florida/South Georgia. Kinderlou, my home course in Valdosta has closed the pro shop and restaurant, and you call for tee times. Only one person per cart now, so it's kinda weird seeing 4 and 5 carts per group on a hole. Dogfight on Saturdays went from shotgun to tee times in order to avoid having a large group congregate on the range. My Tuesday group I was forced to adjust, as we can't have a sit down dinner in the club after the golf. So we are collecting $20 cash at check in by the carts, and then shotgunning at 5:30 pm. It's a voluntary group anyway, so we'll see how many guys show up. Some of the older guys have self quarantined and one of the guys on our committee, who has cancer, has opted to stay home instead of play. We just don't eat after golf now, and have our devotional before we shotgun for golf, out by the carts. I'm actually playing more with the corona virus thing, because they closed churches, so I am not there on Sunday mornings now, so I played 36 holes on Sunday instead. I was looking at my schedule, and I could frankly play 36 holes on Friday, Saturday and Sunday during this thing. I may wear myself out with golf, but what else can you do? I walked 9 holes with a buddy yesterday afternoon, and everything was normal there. The course is greening up nicely too with the warmer weather, so just as golf courses are getting into really good shape we have all this going on. I'm just going to ride this thing out for as long as they let us play. It's literally something new every day now, so I just take it one day at a time. But so far we are still playing golf, so we'll see what tomorrow brings. 4 G400 Driver XR 4 Fairway 16.5° Fli-Hi Utility Iron - 21° G Series 5-9 irons SM7 46°, 50°, 54° & 58° Ghost Spider S putter Nexus Laser Rangefinder Garmin Approach S20 GPS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if the private/semi private clubs in your area are doing the same. One of my friends in the Columbus area just got this from his Club.

Yet. there are an endless number of experts at our course that think they know better and I often here them in the grill telling other members of their group, "he should be doing XYZ.

I was sorta like golf. First day under new "rules". Apparently even though my wife and I sleep together, we can't ride in a cart together. EVERYONE must have their own cart. Of course they ran out of carts, so I gave mine up and walked; the GM was very appreciative. He said it made him sick to see all those carts out on all the holes. Getting a cart was difficult. All doors into the clubhouse were locked except for the side door directly into the pro shop. It was "guarded"; only one person in at a time to checkin and get cart key. There was a line. The good news is that the carts are almost as clean as the day they were delivered new. You would think that if everyone had their own cart that the pace of play would be quicker... NO! I hope that breaking this rule doesn't get us shut down. Apparently, the rule is that people can put 2 bags on a cart, but only one rider (probably to maximize people and save number of carts); the other has to walk. I saw that being violated by the 2nd tee. We were on #13 when a cart was headed back towards us and the clubhouse; a few minutes later the guy driving it came back past us with a girl riding next to him. It was a beautiful, sunny day and with nothing else to do, all the crazies came out. That's one of the reasons we went to walking only while we were still open, mainly to avoid common touch points, but in addition to avoid having 3 or 4 carts out on every hole. 4 TSR2 10.0 HZRDUS Red CB 6.0 TSiR2 10.0 Tensei Blue X ink 55g TSR2 16.5 PX Evenflow 5.5 60 g TSi1 20 and 23 degree hybrids Aldila Ascent Shafts R T200 5-GW SteelFiber I80 SM8 48F/54/58 D Grinds Select 5.5 Flowback 35" ProV1X Play number 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
