Golfers chatting in groups waiting to get called up is ruining our last privilege

[dcurrie947]

Golfers chatting together waiting to get on will be the thing to eventually destroy golfing for us. Please pay attention and don't do it.

Golfers I have seen chatting are doing it from afar. They seem to be aware of social distancing requirements.

Everyone has the right to put themselves at risk of DEATH

But not to take others with them.

You are correct. I assume you still drive, you've been doing it nearly daily and no one has been taking car keys or shutting down the roads.

You can hold basic communication from six feet away. He's absolutely correct on this. Makes no sense to group together before or after a round of golf. Be smart or lose the last thing we have left.

Which is why I think they should shut down all golf courses. After all it's just a privilege and not a right. And 40,000 people a year require emergency treatment due to being hit with balls or club heads. 9 due to lightning.
Ohhh The Humanity. lol

We need to flatten the curve on stupidity and arrogance, it doesn't appear that it peaked yet.....

Have not played golf in 4 weeks - have not driven car in 3 weeks - my choice

You are so correct, it is a privilege, these posts could be sent to John Rohan, especially the ones criticizing you instead of supporting the point you are making. Maybe he can do a quick search to see if criticizers are the worst offenders. Please keep posting constructive comments .

Doesn't matter what group activity Villagers participate in they are just clueless and self absorbed

agreed -- and I have lots of pictures to prove that they are still doing exactly what they want -- if the golf goes -- it will be their own fault -- cannot blame it on someone else

[jet10s]

Interesting that you see basic communication with other humans as only a privilege and not a right. Any other freedoms that you'd like to downplay?
That's probably the scariest thing I've read yet.
people only complain about adhering to congregating rules when their precious golf is threatened

So now, I'll ask the third person to post something like you did-----WHY are you taking pictures, what purpose does it serve and what do you plan to accomplish. The other 2 didn't have an answer

Not just when waiting to be called, but also on the tees and on the greens and also many are still travelling two to a cart (excluding couples).

Risking your own life is your right, risking other people’s is not 👿👿

Was at the grocery store this morning "trying" to do my best at social distancing but found it impossible. Aisles are narrow and if someone is standing (no matter how/where) it's difficult to get past keeping the 6' rule. Now, I've driven past the golf courses and it seemed people were keeping apart just fine. IF the golf-courses are closed it will be for a different reason I'm sure....but let the speculations begin. IF we didn't close things down, people would complain. Partial closings, people complain and it will be the same if everything closes.

I've been on a golf course once in my life that I'm aware of. It was about 4 months ago at Black Diamond in Crystal River. Niece got married, I took pictures. Haven't been on one since.
Four! lol

It is sad that people can be the way they are. To the original post, I have to agree. The preserve got shut down because people couldn't follow the rules and ket their dogs run wild when they are not allowed there. Pools got closed because they couldn't follow the rule of no more than 10 people. Golf could get closed because people can't follow the 6 ft rule. Rules were put in place to protect all of us, not just a few. The problem is that it only takes a few jerks to ruin it for the masses.

I don't take photos of people congregating but I can answer your question. It's called "shaming". Embarrass the hell out of those people who just can't seem to stay away from congregating. I get why those photos are being taken.
