what CoronaVirus precautions are your club taking?

Benicetomonty

I cant see members getting upset with other members for breaching the 5k limit in the vast majority of clubs. Indeed only a handful of people will even be aware of where any given member lives, and they will probably be regular playing partners of such offenders. "Ratting out", therefore, is distinctly unlikely. Decision to adhere to the limit will be entirely up to individuals.

I do, however, think that there will be a heightened sense of awareness of and compliance with the social distancing measures when compared to pre lockdown rounds of golf. And, unless Im very much mistaken, it remains the case that the only way the virus can be transmitted without touching something that isnt yours, is through careless social interaction with those already infected.

The risks in getting there and the possibility of your car breaking down etc, unlikely as such incidents may be, cannot be argued against. But that can happen within a 5km radius as well. In that respect, it could be argued that perhaps it should be all or nothing.

This thing is about burying yourself in a cave - "lockdown".

One thing I'm noticing is that the people on your side of the fence resort to personal attacks whenever they are asked to justify their opinions.
You might not like that fact that I keep bringing up the same awkward questions that you refuse to answer, but until you can answer them, anything else you say is just meaningless.

It not a personal attack it's just something I picked up on..I've a friend who always thinks he's right, it's his way or no way and throws the baby out with the bathwater if he doesn't get his way, we leave him to it as we know him well and we give him leaway as he comes around to rational thinking eventually..he has asbergers !

Are you going to play Golfhead ?

Yes I am..I am not saying that being bullheaded it's just "The laws an ass " as it's ok to work (non essential) as I stated earlier if gov wanted to squash this NOBODY outside Medics should be working.. A time slot Allocated to everyone to shop for essentials should be done and deliveries to shops from suppliers also timed...I know this seems over the top but so is the regulations.. I pass the club to work but can't play coz I'm .7 outside the zone..

Do you follow every rule that's imposed on you? Do you follow everything someone tells you to do no matter what it is?

Some people don't if they think it's inherently wrong.

No I don’t is the short answer but I wouldn’t waste time justifying myself.

I don’t think anyone could say they’re breaking these public health regulations because they’re “inherently wrong”.

We’ll have Irish Rosa Parks’ all over the country driving to their golf clubs.

I wont be basing my decision on distance restrictions at all Golfhead. I'll be entirely basing it on risk. So if they lifted the distance tomorrow, 18th May, 8th June, it wont change my decision.

Its killing me missing out on golf. The weather is amazing, and we've had a terrible winter. I should have been on a golf course in Portugal today. But I'd rather wait till the risk is low enough for me to be comfortable, than risk my life for a bit more short term pain

Fair enough I'd say, I understand your situation so you wouldn't have gone back anyway until it's erradicated or a vaccine, I get that but I also notice and fair play to you is you're not shouting from the rooftops that "if I can't play you can't play" that's what's happening here because the risk is minimal on a golf course, Park, open spaces for that matter..

Nobody here has told you what to do. You've just spent the whole time trying to justify breaking the law and people have pointed out why that's not a good idea.

Also do us a favour or and leave out the last bit of that previous statement. It is like some sly way of throwing a dig at someone.

Ah sure don't worry about that, I'll soldier on and give them metaphorical yellow cards in my head. Too many and you go onto GreeBo's other list :eek:

Fair play, I admire an upstanding honest citizen who upholds the letter of the law who never drives too fast, jaywalks, drinks after hours, fiddles their tax (just a little) and expects everyone to do the same..on the other hand if you are so worried you could play holes within your range and scratch the rest.

This isn,t hypothetical at all.
I can actually do this but I need advice.
I normally play Saturday morning but my course is 16 kms from my house.
I will be allowed back to work on the 18th free to travel unrestricted in the course of my job.
Part of my work involves calling to private house builds/sites to survey work to be carried out.
I can easily arrange to call to some job beyond my golf course as the crow flies and play a round of golf
before getting to my work.
My Question is, Am I breaking the travel restriction by doing this. If so please explain why?

I suggest you phone your local Garda station and ask them. The Gardai I've spoken to have said they're quite happy to deal with queries like this and answer them all the tine.
