Default Face masks

I seen in the recreation news today that all indoor and outdoor activities are required to wear face masks. I wonder how the golfers are going to handle that?

No need to as long as you walk or ride in separate carts. Its been that way. No one can trace spreading CV to golfing. The most concentrated outbreaks have been is nursing homes, assisted living and prisons. None of thos have golf that I know of.

Not even just sports, but all outdoor activities. So does that include golf cart rides?

Unless T.V. has redefined the definition of "ALL" (or made an error in the rules). Maybe IN THE CART WHILE RIDING "NO" but UPON EXIT "YES" ???? :

There are people who can not wear a mask, due to breathing problems. Server asthma, does not work for a person wearing a mask . It restricts their breathing too much. I know several people who fall into that problem.

They are only special if they can give the ball Topspin and make it stop right on the green. Some use clubs and some use rackets. Each need to respect the other's skill.

In Golf you never touch another players balls. So you can't catch stuff from them.

Curtsy and leave.

One could allow the "paper" did not get it correct.....

it is most certainly fallible.

when all else fails use that rare quality we all possess, common sense (in obvious varying degrees)!!!

Pretty sure that "all outdoor activities" refers only to those under the purview of Parks and Recs. The only thing that they control that I use is the fitness center and that will not reopen under Phase II.
