I haven't heard a good idea yet. You are outside in the air, you are not on top of others. You are getting fresh air. How are you going to get the virus. If you are stupid enough to hug your buddy or congregate in groups at the end of the round, then that is your problem .
You go to the grocery store which is a lot more dangerous than a golf course. You don't have to handle anything that doesn't belong to you when playing golf. Yesterday, at one of the supermarkets, I ordered Mac and cheese. The girl who served it to me had no gloves on, then put her fingers inside the lid while spooning the contents into my carryout container. I cancelled the order after telling the manager what happened. All the other deli workers had on gloves. I didn't touch anything, not did anyone else touch anything when I signed up and played golf. I brought my own pen to sign my charge receipt. SOOOOOOO, we should close the golf courses?

I have to say something else about closing Courses. I just saw something that is changing the way I think. I passed Kenya golf course 10 min ago and there under the trees at the 9th hole were about 15 guys standing on top of each other BS about their game.
This kind of behavior is exactly what will cause the courses to close.
