I do wish that people would abide by the 'cart path only' rules, especially on the par 3s. Only people with RA tags should be on the grass.

Vaccine or no vaccine

Its like they really want us dead.

The hostility on both sides just amazes me. If you got the shot then I suspect that you believe in the efficacy of the vaccine. So why be hostile towards those that did not get it? You are now protected or you don’t believe in the vaccine’s effectiveness!

For goodness sake relax and enjoy your new freedom because of the development of the vaccine.

Those that did not get it, that is their choice, after all the truth is that the recovery rate if this thing is over 99%, so they are taking a risk. Even at that, for those of us that got the vaccine, we are protected and those that had C-19, well they are as good as immune.

May God Bless and keep all of you from harm, even those of science!

I have a great idea. We should all get two shots of the Pfizer Vaccine, two shots of the Moderna Vaccine and one shot of the J&J Vaccine. When we leave the house in our golf carts be shire to have your class 5 bio hazard suit on. Wehrmacht we get to the golf course you can ride on opposite sides of the fairways. Only one person on the green at a time. Be sure to sanitize the flag pole before you leave. Once you get home be sure to have your decontamination shower. If you do all of these steps, I’m sure you will be safe from Covid. Maybe?

I have been driving my golf cart by myself for some time now.
Reason:
I have no need for some unknown but friendly, stinking co-pilot who once left sh** stains on my golf cart seat!

WHY? Are you golfing with people you don’t normally associate with? Then that’s your problem...where a mask or learn to golf with small group of friends.
Some of the fairways on executive courses are a mess because of how many were driving on them

With the exception of the par 4's, who is driving on fairways on an exec course?

Exactly, same with par 27 courses. Seems just about everyone has a handicap pass to roam anywhere on the golf courses, but they seem to be walking and breathing fine to me. (Correct, I'm not a doctor).
Seen one of these HC-Pass guys drive his cart up the fairway on a par 3, hit the ball then walk to the green to putt, walks all the way back to his cart. (about 50 Yards).
.
Don't get me started on the push cart walkers! :1rotfl:

Thank you very much for your reply, at least you understand what was written.
The rest of us are clueless as to who you are thanking. Thanks!

Clueless.
Not all groups are divisible by four.
The system assigns & after assigned, individuals can be injected.

FWiw a lot of people preferring single riders has nothing to do with fear or masks or anything else.

It’s significantly faster pace of play and that is preferred by many.

Only the N95 is effective if worn properly

The virus is so small it passes right through all masks except the N95. The N95 is only effective when worn correctly - sealed around the nose and mouth. The other masks will stop virus encapsulated in water but many people wear these masks loosely around their face or leave their nose uncovered thus letting the virus particles out into the environment.
