    You could argue that they shouldn't, because it is easier to keep your distance, but I doubt that an exception will be made for them.

    In a nutshell - not today

    GA sent a detailed advice to clubs at 4pm today, which was already forwarded to members of my club - CITY GC. I expect your club will pass it or its probably on GA website by now.

    One relevant paragraph is:
    It should be noted that the vast majority of golfers can and should continue to visit your clubs or facility as per normal. Of course, golfers should exhibit a heightened awareness of personal hygiene as has been encouraged by state and federal health departments.
    There was also some suggestion to use gloved hand on Flagstick and Bunker rakes - not sure how that would help.

    Just watching The Back Page and shaking my head as I listen to people who are obviously clueless as to the severity of the current scenario.

    I'd suggest that patronising the course won't be a problem. Even in a strict social distancing scenario, it is possible to play without getting too close to other persons. Of course, this restriction may be a problem for those who depend on a cart, as they either won't be able to share a cart, or will have to pay full csrt hire.

    The clubhouse is another matter. Post round drinks might get banned, and if so, the clubhouse itself will probably close, and all revenue will be lost.

    We are better off than most other sports, but there are no guarantees.

    My take on the current Drum Beats;

    - We will shortly close our Borders

    - State are also considering closing their Borders, at least for Air Travel;

    Australia was just too slow to react to close the borders.
    A country like India ( for example) closed borders immediately to the countries in crisis. China, Japan, Korea, Iran and Italy. They have now refusing pretty much all of EU.
    Australia took 8 days to react just to quarantining people from Italy let alone the first cases like China in fear of what it may do to the economy , or even forbid be called racist.
    India have 114 cases and pretty steady but still growing.
    Australia 350 or so cases and rapidly growing.
    Australia had no rapid response to infectios disease like some neighbouring Asian Countries.
    They had more plan because they were harder hit but SARS, another form of corona virus.
    Sure some Asian countries have been hit hard but no where near as hard hit as Caucasian countries.

    Trump thinks otherwise, maybe look to your great grandparents Blakey.

    He compared the reach of the disease to the 1918 influenza pandemic that infected one third of the world’s population and killed an estimated 50 million people and the economic impact to the Great Depression.

    “In terms of the economic dislocation, I think it’s fair to say we are going to quickly surpass anything we saw in the Great Recession and the only measure or the only comparison will be the Great Depression,”

    I am working on our Pandemic response and Business continuity for how my organisation deals with a lockdown.

    We have not been given a date to work to, but will have everything ready for 6000 people to work from out of the office concurrently by COB Friday. Up to 1000 will still have to attend their job with customer facing biosecurity roles, but it will be interesting to see how many will actually be required with the closure of airports, seaports, and import and export facilities. Stuff will still get imported and exported, but markets for things such as cut flowers and export meat and grain may drop as other countries close their borders.

    The potential impacts to our ability to feed our country, and send the raw food and agricultural materials to other countries could be quite severe and long lasting.

    So get out and play golf ASAP - its probably the next thing to be banned.

    Given how they spell, I wouldn’t take anything they say too seriously.

    Schools are still open, but both my sons have coughs and probably aren't too welcome at school, yet we can't get them tested. Are they just meant to miss out on getting an education now? Coughs don't usually go away in a hurry.
