Social distance compromised. How about a salute, maybe you've got a better idea?

Social distancing is designed to help protect you from someones sneezes or coughs. Unless their elbow/forearm have come in contact with someone/thing carrying/having the virus it should be no issue. If it bothers you just say hello, goodbye or whatever.

For now a nice verbal greeting works for me

on the golf course, we typically touch our putters to each other. That's pretty safe.


But a week ago, my putter may have gotten a touch of COVID. From that point on I've missed some easy putts. I think my putter has been coughing during the hit...damn. I may need to quarantine it.

They ask you to cough onto your elbow, but to welcome each other they say touch elbows. Who's the nitwit that comes up with these ideas......

there's two sides to everything

you cough into the inside of your elbow....they're recommending that you 'touch elbows' using the opposite side of the elbow rather than shaking hands

if you are uncomfortable touch elbows, don't do it....or just motion with your elbow like you're going to touch elbows but don't touch....nobody's going to care if you don't actually touch their elbow

I’m very comfortable bumping elbows and if you extent your hand for me to shake it I would shake it back. And I’ll sleep very well that night.

Touching elbows a stupid way to greet, just let your voice do the greeting!

This picture shows why after coughing or sneezing onto your elbow does not go hand in hand with touching elbows to greet someone...

My putter was afflicted also , I buried it in the bunker on #2 Oakleigh.

As a vet I like the salute as a military or paramilitary gesture. A fist bump keeps you 5-6 ft apart and uses the cleanest part of the hand.

Whats the big deal about greetings?? Im a hugger but have stopped that for now. My greeting is: to motion throwing a kiss and saying, “I owe you a hug”. How about people use common sense and make up your own greeting

[superzcomputerz]

Either one is safe.

Maybe bow....
