Default Golf is seldom played in still air.

“ SARS-CoV-2 remained viable in aerosols throughout the duration of our experiment (3 hours), with a reduction in infectious titer from 103.5 to 102.7 TCID50 per liter of air. This reduction was similar to that observed with SARS-CoV-1, from 104.3 to 103.5 TCID50 per milliliter (Figure 1A).”

When I play golf in The Villages there is seldom an absence of wind. On the contrary, the wind is usually 15 to 25 miles an hour in my face.
