The Australian governing golf body ""Golf Australia"" has instructed all golf courses around the country to close their operation immediately, due to the chance that gathering of more than 2 would be impossible to police.
I guess that I will have to rely on Utube for my future golfing interests.
Golf is a past time that many retirees enjoy.
Q. I wonder what will happen now to ensure that the courses do not become overgrown and the greens are maintained.??????
I will miss my Tuesday and Thursday Golfing days.
Not so HAPPY DAYS ahead.

Bad luck, JayDee.
I have just completed 18 holes at the Sandgate course. Golf was crap (worse than usual) but the walk was most enjoyable.
We are teeing off in twos and only one allowed per buggy (For the non-walkers).
Cheers,
Roy.
While not a golfer, I will admit that I said to the other half, that we should take it up as it is the perfect social distancing sport , in that the likely hood of even a foursome being unable to stay outside 1.5M from each other is extremely unlikely.
Yes, so you do not congregate at the clubrooms before or after the game, it can, admittedly IMHO be played in this age of plague.
Our local course here in Heathcote, Central Vic, has road closed signs on the entry road today, but on Saturday there must have been 30 cars in the carpark and not a soul out on the course. So where were they all, one guess. At the bar.
Another confusing rule and interpretations are very different depending each individual state...The NSW Premier last night vehemently declared that NSW Golf Courses could remain open and play could continue, provided ofcourse, that the social separation laws were strictly adhered too, the only added rule is, only TWO (2) persons play in each group, NOT (4) as previously the case!
It has come to my attention that our club is still open and time sheets are available. But like every where it is social distancing, and 2 per group, but one person per motorised cart.
I have decided to give golf a miss for a few weeks and will then make a decision if to play then.
I note, via the news media you understand, a brothel in Geelong had so many clients yesterday it caused a traffic jam in adjoining streets! Mind you, in my opinion, they would have been breaching social distancing requirements....

Are you suggesting that they were all "golfers"?
