PVC half pipes in golf holes
 
Why do PVC pipes remain in Golf holes ?

Bjeanj 08-11-2020 05:47 PM

Umm, because the courses don’t want people to constantly handle the flags due to COVID?

Because 277 new deaths from COVID-19 were reported in Florida today.

90% of the golfers left the pin in while putting before the virus since the rule change.
We're still reaching in and touching the ball, pvc, and the lower part of the flag stick.
What pi**es me off are the rings are so tall that some are just a 1/4 " below the green.
How many times have you seen the ball spin around the flag like a roulette ball and barely stay in, or spin out?
If you're so paranoid about touching the flag stick, just don't do it!
It should be up to the person putting whether to leave it in or take it out.
So, I say get rid of them already PLEASE.

And the number of cases traced to outdoor activity over six months = 0

So apparently they work to help stop the spread!

Don’t touch that flag.

Classic example of post hoc ergo propter hoc----literally "after this therefore because of this", the motto of those afflicted with faulty cause/effect reasoning.

'Cause we're still in a pandemic. It prevents people from putting their hands all in the cup.

Russp 08-12-2020 06:26 AM

Most people still touch the cup,flag, and PVC because if the ball goes in most of the time it will go between the flag and plastic insert. So it’s not helping 🤔

90%......where do you get your facts from? My guess same place as the major news outlets. When in doubt.....just make it up !

Supposedly not spread by touch. But nobody really seems to know.
