Its interesting, this morning i saw plenty of walkers and riders and dogs on the streets. When the corona is done, i wonder if the walking will continue.

For past 3 weeks I've basically worked from home.
Haven't had takeaway at all.
Walked or ridden a bit and I've dropped nearly 5kgs

Thats great!
ive been at work. i thought maccas etc was the way to go because

1) easy to get
2) support the economy
3) keep their workers in a job

but for some reason im eating food purchased from coles/woolies on the weekly shop instead. healthy that is.

 

[peternorth]

Corona will teach us to exercise more

 

[juss]

Just play.
Do all the right things
It's exercise on your own

Your Mental sanity is just as important

Do you reckon people will just freebie round courses if they close?

Yes

Mate of mine refers to it as him doing his golf course security round.
Keeping the vandals off the course whilst he patrols 9 holes

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

I agree that most are BS.
But a walk or ride on your own is bloody required.
Missus and kids are wearing me down

I have a kid with ADHD, who puts his fist through a wall every time he gets killed in a video game. Interesting 6 months coming up here!

 

[peternorth]

the national closing tonight. on the way there now

 

[juss]

I don't think any public golf courses are still open. I called a couple, Oakleigh, Glen Waverley and no answer this arvo.

You can still walk on some of them.

 

[peternorth]

Said bye to the boys at National. The course and club shall prevail.

So will we, mankind. So will we

 

[juss]

Well I played 9 holes at Spring Park, was pretty busy as one of the few remaining open. Have a feeling there are some stricter rules coming and it will be hard to leave the house without a good reason.

 

[BobbyMorri]

Played Llaherne down here near Hobart airport today(which didn't have any flights today). It wasn't that busy. every course has cancelled their comps, but social golf still a thing down here.

Max groups of 2 now. Might finally be able to play quick golf.......the courses are barely hanging on.

 

[Bicco]

2 person golf in Tassie is still ok.

That's my usual group anyway so happy to play again in Victoria under those rules when we can. It's amazing, efficient rounds where you can get some flow and can really move through the course.

Its over!!!

heres hoping the golf clubs survive and we are back playing again really soon.

 

[Bicco]

WE'RE CLOSED!

I just don’t understand... it’s probably the perfect sport for social distancing. Why can’t we continue to play as pairs?

I felt this too at first, but it comes to a point where we need to do everything we can for each other and largely that means staying home unless you need to do otherwise. Sadly, golf is a beautiful luxury, but we don't need it. There are plenty of ways to exercise carry no extra risk, while golf unfortuantely still carries some risk.

Instead of asking "why can't we?", it might be time we asked "what can I do more to help?".

I guess because unfortunately, even after the media saturation and pleading by politicians and health experts, there's still people who don't think it's serious or follow the simple rules. Like so many things, the majority suffers for the stupidity and ignorance of a few.
Time for us to stay indoors and practice our short game.

 

[peternorth]

Thing is what we've learned since the outbreak is that people will apply any reason, with or without logic, to justify their own means. I agree golf is a pursuit that can apply social distancing and more. Its the perfect game for it. then look at footy, people complaining about its hiatus citing mental health and "doctors say its safe to play". one mike shehan even went so far as to say it should be allowed to go ahead because it lifts peoples spirits. wtf?r

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

I'm gonna try and head out for a socially distanced round today with my wife. I was hoping to submit this round as my forst social handicap round. My wife has a golflink number, but no handicap. Does anyone know if she can sign my cards? Any other options? I'm not going to dodge the system here, I'm perfectly happy with whatever handicap I end up with, I don't play any comps and it's entirely for me and something I want to track myself, but I find the instructions on how to submit cards very unclear. I'm with FutureGolf and nominated today as a round.

Playing with the wife.... ah memories.
About 16-17 years ago I bought the missus some clubs what a great idea I thought! We can spend time together and she can stop giving me grief about playing golf.. Hod I played a 1/5th of the amount I do now!
But ah... yeah let’s just say it didn’t go too well I threw them in the drink midway through our third round together!
$100 odd bucks down the drain but It was well worth it!
She actually pissed herself laughing.

Exactly. Unfortunately you have to cater to the most stupid in these situations and that’s a pretty low bar. I saw some unbelievable selfish and dumb things from golfers during last weeks modified rules.
Also a president of a GC told me to tell any mates thinking of sneaking on to a course for a hit it’s a $1500 fine to the person!

good stuff.

I spoke with a number of members at my club recently. Asked if anyone would sneak on for a little hit hit. One of them actually lives on the course! He said he could walk on, but will not. That's discipline!

Do you reckon people will just freebie round courses if they close?

City Golf Club closed all club and golf facilities on Monday last week. I’m thinking about sneaking on at around 5:30am and quickly playing holes 3 to 8 and then hole 2 and then out the side fence and home. The other option is to play holes 5 to 8 and then 2 to 4 and sneak off through the fence and home. Decisions decisions.

Another option is to drive 30mins to Pittsworth (course is still open) and play golf. It’s a 9 hole golf course with different tees for the front and back 9. It would cost me $22 (they have an honesty box).

How is government tyranny good stuff? We’ve all been brainwashed. No one shut down the world for H1N1.
