Scoot24 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 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? joen 1 Quote Driver: Taylor Made SLDR Irons: Taylor Made RSi2 4-PW Hybrids: Adams Tight Lies 3 and 5 Putter: Taylor Made Spyder Wedges: Cleveland RTX 50, 56, 60 Link to comment

So far we can golf in Ohio, but the courses have instituted a number of protocols: only one person in a cart, no pins (elevated cups), etc. Sent from my iPad using MyGolfSpy Scoot24 1 Quote Left Hand orientation SIM 2 D Max with Fujikura Air Speeder Shaft Cobra Radspeed 3W/RIptide Shaft 410 Hybrids 22*, 26* Cobra Speed Zone 6-GP/Recoil ESX 460 F3 Shafts SM7 54* Wedge Glide 3.0 60* Wedge O Works putter V3 NX9-HD - 4 Wheel EZGO TXT 48v cart - too many shoes to list and so many to buy And BAG Boy Golf Balls: Vice Pro Plus 2020 Official Tester Beginning Driver Speed - 78 2019 Official Tester 410 Driver 2018 Official Tester C300 Link to comment
geauxtigers Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 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. Quote Link to comment
Eric D. Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 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!

Mr. 82 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 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.

Tap In Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 When the snow is melted Colorado is still playing. Walking only, don’t show any earlier than 10 min before your tee time, pay online, don’t touch the flag stick or people. Foam was placed in the cup so your ball is easily grabbed. Facilities are closed, and no rakes or water provided. Basically, if you didn’t bring it, don’t touch it.Sent from my iPad using MyGolfSpy Quote WITB: 0811 Prototype Driver: (10.5 / s-flex) Sub 70 Pro Tour Fairway 3W (15 / s-flex) 0341 Prototype, 5W (18, s-flex) 0311, 4-PW, (+1/2" / +2 up) ProjX LZ 6.0 0311 wedges, 52, 56, 60 degree Impact No.3, Putter 35" Dexterity: Right-handed Link to comment

cciciora13 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 In Illinois, Golf courses are closed. They open briefly for like 2 days following the stay at home order, but then were shut down. Wisconsin is opening up there courses next week with stipulations, and I hope Illinois follows suits.

alisarodriguez15 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 We are currently golfing in Austin Texas! Some courses are only offering a small amount of people on the range. Some other courses no range at all. Most courses are doing raise cups and no flag sticks. I’m happy that they are still open. Nice to get out and walk for once! Quote Link to comment

Gsi10561 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 In Bradenton fl. We are playing with new rules. 1 per cart. No more than 3 per group. Foam swim noodle cut and put around flagstick in the cup. Ball barely goes in the hole and you can pick it up without touching anything. At least 8 min In between tee times. PACE OF PLAY HAS BEEN WONDERFUL! First time I’ve had back to back rounds in under 3 hours.

FloridaGary Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 I live in Sarasota, and almost all of the courses are open with the same set of rules.Walking is allowed, golf carts are single player only, there are no rakes in the bunkers, no water on the course and the poles have small donuts in the cup that prevent the balls from falling completely in.The clubs are taking the added steps of wiping down carts and providing limited food and beverage on a take out bases onlyI would estimate the level of play is about 70% of normalSent from my SM-N960U1 using MyGolfSpy mobile app STUDque, bens197 and Rickp 3 Quote TS2 Driver 16.5 degree fairway metal 918 19/23 hybrid Apex 21 Irons Nippon NS Pro Modus3 Vokey Wedges 54/58 Cameron Newport Select mallet MyGolfSpy junkie since 2017 Link to comment
