Qld has released its roadmap already. Not enough detail to see when we can play in 4's.

As of now it does permit 10 people in cafes restaurants and licencesd clubs, so we might be able to ha e a beer.

[Daves]

Good news in the news just released by the PM. The exact outcome and dates will be decided by the states, but seems like stage one should see us back to groups of 4.

Still groups of 2 at Nudgee for Sunday week, here's hoping the decision is made soon and we can amend the groups.

Reddie Bay is moving to groups of 4, 7 min. intervals and single tee start from tomorrow week i.e. Saturday 16/5.

Are you saying that the golf courses are going against the restrictions?

If they are playing as 4’s now

[AndyP]

I'd like to be able to go more than 50k for golf to be able to have a hit at some country courses.

Yeah, it’s 150km for recreation from the 15th as per the roadmap.

Not until then though.

Apparently MiClub has gone into Meltdown as the Mexicans flood the booking system.

[Funz]

Yep definitely slow when I went to book...and now they have turned on a lottery system to handle the expected demand at our club.

[Bigbad]

I'm glad that we have golf back in Victoria, looks like we can go straight to playing in groups of 4 as well which is surprising. It's been a looooooong time between golf swings.

[Looney]

Was there a rcorded case of someone getting Covid from playing golf during this whole shit show? if not then surely the Victorians will feel hard done by

I don't feel hard done by, but I don't think there was a case either (if there was, I'm sure all golf would have been canned). I still feel it was a necessary precaution, and one I was happy to adhere to. I mean you can argue until you're black and blue about the ease of keeping a distance and it being recreation and non-essential, but at the end of the day I feel it was smart to stop it. It was just one little thing to give up to help stop the spread.

What many people dont appreciate is that the States made very fast decisions during this crisis. Often within a few hours of the federal govts policy announcements. There is no way state health officers could have agonised over fors and against of every single activity, as that would have taken months and Joe public would be constantly whining that govt is tpo slow. What they did was great, and the overall impact has worked. Isolating a single activity and saying they got that wrong doesnt prove anything.
