Default New York Golf Courses Closing

New York Sate under a stay at home order has allowed golf courses to open under basically the same social distancing rules as here on Fl courses. Plastic pipes in the cups, one rider per cart. etc.

Just received an email from my local summer home course (nowhere near New York City near the Canadian border) that all courses have been closed.

Good Afternoon Folks,

As of this morning (Thursday, April 9th) at 8 a.m. the Empire State Development issued revised guidance which states specifically that golf courses are NOT *ESSENTIAL BUSINESSES* for purpose of the Governor's Pause Order.

The closing of golf courses shall be effective through April 29th or until heard otherwise from the New York Governor.

We ask that you please refrain from using the property to practice as we face sharp fines if we are not in compliance with this order.
