According to the front page of today's DS, golf is permitted with social distancing. Let's wait and see, after all, it is the "happy paper"

Now IF, repeat IF that is true, I would like to state the following:
On this thread, I have used my knowledge of virology and epidemiology to advocate that golf with social distancing is a relatively safe activity, and I believe I spoke for many. There is a small group of posters, mostly newbies, who for whatever reason, be it fear, panic or ignorance, vehemently disagreed with that assessment. So in return, I've been called an "idiot", "selfish", "unpatriotic", a "spreader", and the most laughable of all, literally causing me to ROFL, "unprofessional"

So IF, repeat IF the front page is correct, I have just one word for all those people-----"FORE!"

Totally idiotic. He should have stuck to his guns and kept doing this county by county. There are counties with ZERO cases.

But further clarification is needed:

Bicycling?
Walking the dog?
hiking?

I don't see any reason to ban activities where social distancing can be maintained.

A giant thanks to all those that were clamoring to shut the state down or signed the petition to that effect. Looks like fear and panic outvoted common sense.

That's not really fair. There are about a million other things for her to do here. In fact, last I heard, golf was only the third most popular sport after softball and pickleball.

That’s the absolute best definition I’ve heard. Thank you. Enjoy!

I’d be very careful to trust guidance or opinions from anyone on an anonymous Internet forum. People can easily be led astray. Better to err on the side of caution, as Dr. Fauci advises.

Aren't you the same person who scoffed at the fact that we might not have enough ventilators? I'm fairly sure I read that in one of your responses.

Just drove by Bogart Golf course around 10:45 today, there was a group lined up to play golf, 8 to 10 carts, and at least 15 people all gathered together. See picture below:

Why would they allow groups?
