    Not at all, I’d say some of our fees just went to a lawyer as to what THEIR safest position should be.

    To be fair, almost all of it was given to me first.

    Back to golf: if your club is playing comps in twos, what has been the effect?

    We start up again tomorrow (assuming we are ignoring Golf Australia), and the sheet isn't just full, its full until 4.00pm. Presumably those after about 2.00pm are playing a social 9 holes. But its full. So is Saturday and a new comp for Sunday.

    I'm not playing, so I won't go to the course and ask, but I can only assume its a combination of being desperate to get out of the house and the fact that many aren't working, so they have plenty of time.

    Frankly, I'm astonished. I thought two's might be a fizzer, but clearly I'm wrong.

    If it takes more than 3 hours to play in 2’s that’ll be the next conspiracy theory, we’re doing it to weed out the slow cents.

    Victoria’s Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton has announced that fishing, hunting, boating, camping, and golf will not be allowed during the pandemic. “Hang up your rods, leave the tinnie in the driveway, and clean your clubs at home,” Professor Sutton said on Thursday.
    Sounded like a new move to me?

    Maybe it was just a Golf Vic ban previously.

    Lynwood now off limits by the RSL board, which may be a blessing.

    Currently, 11 temp. greens as the lowest greens recover from 2 weeks underwater in Feb.

    Wash your hands after touching those balls, and your grips, and don't touch your face. Or were the balls placed there for you?

    Might be tough - I've not shaved in about a month. I look like Encino Man. Working remotely has its advantages I guess.
    But seriously at some point we should tee it up. When I was out there dropping your Mizzies off the other month I was fully geeking out, OCCM-style.

    We have 150 booked each day this weekend playing in pairs from dawn onwards. We have either myself, pro shop, or directors out on the course to ensure people don’t break the rules.

    If it’s patrolled properly there is no reason why golf can’t continue in a safe manner.
    Forum needs more banter.
