    I assume you also noticed that there was no mention of staff being laid off in their ivory tower, costs being cut etc., or board and/or management taking a pay cut...

    I am hoping club land will reek their vengeance in due course

    Club land should be doing the same as industry here. Pass the hurt on to people/ countries that seem to have no idea.

    Dave half the people are social but some of these would have logged into the comp and then didn't submit at the end because of their poor scores. Easy to do when playing with a chummy mate and avoids the comp fees. Cheats always find a way.

    Possibly, but not in this case. I checked and they aren't paying to play, but think they are entitled to the tee times. On Thursday there were over 140 booked in the comp, but only 43 paid the comp fee. They know what they are doing and will continue to do it whilst they can get away with. It called entitled, the Pandemic of the 21st Century...

    Daves, I find it extraordinary that comp times are being filled by social players at any time, let alone in these stressful times. I've never heard of it anywhere I have played, and it is easily remedied. A comp fee is compulsory at designated comp times.

    We are members only during comps, and it will stay that way until life returns to normal.

    Remedied as of today. Email announcement from the President along the lines you have suggested i.e. play in the comp time slot and you pay a fee regardless. They have also put up the no vacancy sign for Wed and Saturday comps for visitors. And made Saturday Comp 7 day only members (not quite sure why it was otherwise?).

    You guys are both in SA aren’t you?

    I was of the understanding that the state government didn’t enforce the 2 person limit on exercise etc? Did golf courses decide to do it themselves?

    Golf clubs took it upon themselves. Not sure if all did or just mainly metro.
    I'm not a member anywhere so I cant play unless I go to a country course with an honesty box.

    Guess everyone is still a little confused.

    I heard that 2 Sydney clubs have been hit with a $11k fine for not enforcing social distancing, by pairs combining out on the course and playing as groups of four.

    Police chopper did a couple of passes over Lynwood on Sunday, but I gather their primary objective was the water ski parks along the river.

    Even further than the groups of 10? Interesting.

    I've recenly been under the impression that the Anzac day weekend would be a further line for de-escalation of some rules.

    North Adelaide reopens tomorrow. Comps start again on the 5th. 2 to a group for social play, 3 to a group for club rounds. Woohoo!

    Two guys rocked up for a game at Dunheved yesterday, wandered in from the car park to have a game.

    5 minutes later were back in the car park, and I heard one of them ring his local golf pro complaining that he “couldn’t get a game anywhere, could he get them on”.

    They were probably at the beach later on in the day sun baking.

    I can’t believe the number of people still living in a cave.

    There’s so many inconsistencies across the entire spectrum of this Covid issue, NZ went into full lockdown across the board and are statistically worse off compared to Australia both medically and economically.

    Last I checked there’s been a total of 58 cases detected in the entire Northern half of Qld for 0 deaths. In fact there’s only 11 active cases in that region. The fact we’re on the same level of restrictions as the Melbourne CBD is laughable.

    I get it, to roll out something so large so quickly it has to be consistent and across the board, but that was over 4 weeks ago. The basic restrictions still stand as they have for months- wash your hands, stay 1.5m away, cover you mouth when coughing or sneezing, if you’re sick stay home.

    It’s well and truly time for some amendments especially in less affected regional areas.
