How about showing respect for the rest of us who have committed ourselves to staying in our homes to help end this pandemic. Those of us who were daily swimmers and/or enjoyed thousands of recreational activities? The rest of us have shut our lives down to stop the spread. We have sacrificed.
Golfers, do your patriotic duty. Go home and stay home.

As an avid golfer here in TV I can tell you that things have changed almost daily to ensure the health of the golfers and the staff.
They have eliminated all physical contact between staff and golfers. You scan your ID, you run your credit card, you are not signing any paper, no starter slips are being used and they have removed all rakes and modified the cups so no one is touching the flag or the cup.
There are reports that the virus does not tolerate heat well but it does survive in the cold.
Continuing to golf is not negatively impacting anyone if it is done right and the guidelines followed.
Please don't be judgemental of those who are playing golf, going for walks or runs and being safe about it, just as we are not judging those who have made the choice to stay home.
Be safe and most importantly keep a good outlook on life and be thankful for what you have. Spread a little sunshine and make someone happy each day!
