Message: <blockquote data-quote="DCUKMod" data-source="post: 2276335" data-attributes="member: 345386">Graham, my OH is a very keen golfer.  He is 73, although very fit, healthy, good BMI and last A1c in the low-mid 20s.  He has been playing golf 3 times a week since allowed.  Aside from the fact we've been doing a big, heavy gardening project, he'd play more, as he'd usually play or go to the gym a minimum of 5 days a week.  Anyway, anyway.At his club, all the usual things are in place, like clubhouse closed, no changing facilities.  They must arrive no more than 10 minutes before their tee time and should leave immediately afterwards.  Bunkers are in play, but no raking after use.  They also have a full-time starter who announces every group, but whilst they are waiting, the starter has a bit of a script, reminding players of their responsibilities.At the end of the 18th, the gents tip their hats to their playing partners.In reality, golf is an ideal socially distant sport.  Aside from on tee and around the greens, most players will be more than 6ft apart for the vast majority of their rounds.I guess the whole thing comes down the personal risk/benefit equation.  I know my OH feels so much better in himself since back golfing again.  Beforehand, he was doing good, long walks, guided by the Ordinance Survey Maps, but for him, nothing beats a bit of competition .I hope you will become more comfortable over time.</blockquote>
