After playing today, my wife, my brother -in-law and myself went to TDS takeout, ordered some beers to go and found a nice place to park our carts, 10 feet from each other. Three of us having a beer and practicing social distancing. Sounds good right ? An ambassador stopped by us and told us that we couldn't be having large gatherings and that we needed to go ? A large gathering, 3 people with 10 feet between us. Really ? I questioned him about it and he said he was just the messenger. Sorry he has to deliver a message where obviously nobody can use common sense and see that are following the guidelines.

Sad, but I think you have to cut him some slack, especially at TDS. I played there a few days ago and they were extremely adamant about groupings and social distancing. An ambassador explained that the homeowners around TDS have an usually high concentration of self appointed coronavirus police, armed with their cell phone cameras, and have pretty much been taking non-stop pictures of anyone THEY consider violating the distance guidelines. TDS just doesn't want any trouble. They should consider setting off a limited EMP bomb to kill the chips in these people's cell phones

For those that still have reading comprehension issues:

Stay at home means stay at home, EXCEPT for essential service and activities, of which golf is one of them.

So you stay home, hiding under your bed, while the rest of us get some exercise.

I don't understand why the Ambassador is being challenged when in fact he was doing a good job. A lot of people think that as long as they feel safe then all is fine. They don't think of the medical people and support that have to walk by and through the area they are occupying and the risk to them! Our son works in a Rehab that cares for everyone from infants to senior citizens who have had brain damage from either abusive parents, or accidents, birth injuries or age etc. He doesn't have the option to avoid going out and staying home so he is at risk to those who elect to throw cation to the wind, ignore the medical recommendation to stay home or only expose others by going to the market, Doctor, or other Emergency Needs. Sitting outside either at the squares, or other public places is to put the other person who MUST go out at risk. Shame on you and thanks to the Ambassador who had the good sense to send you off.

I would have said, "Okey Dokie", complied, and never thought about it again. That is the way most people handle the small stuff.

That's nothing. Watch this video of cops in Philly pulling a guy off a bus for not wearing a mask.

He is correct under the new policy guidelines.

Wednesday late afternoon my wife and I and another couple in there cart were having ice cream across the street from Culver’s in a parking lot under the trees, all the businesses were closed the lot was empty when an unmarked SUV pulls up with 6 sheriffs in it. One sheriff got out and told us we had to be at home.
Florida is under a lock down and you are not supposed to be out unless getting essentials or golfing. Guess you were finished golfing.

I'll assume you're just pulling our legs.

Since when do 6 deputies ride around in a single SUV, unless they're headed for the donut shop?

But I like the hypocrisy of 6 sheriffs in a SUV lecturing a couple outdoors on social distancing

Pauld315: We stopped at a small recreational area on the golf cart path, just a few minutes from TDS, where they have some picnic tables. A few small groups were there as well to share some social time and drinks with friends. And please if you're so inclined, don't start with the stay at home comments....not interested.

It’s a shame that the ambassador had to risk his own safety to attempt to keep you and others in your group safe.
Too bad he wasn’t able to intervene in the activities that caused seven people in Sumter county to get the virus and die
