    Didnt realise you're working in Sydney now, a mate posted a screenshot of one of your club messages and I thought the name looked familiar.

    Ah, congrats mate. Ha I think it was something to do with your rules enforcement. You guys are outside my 5km but one day I'll get out there for a game...

    That's pretty much all I do all day - tell people they can't do anything. Very rewarding.

    Had a look at timesheets probably 50 a day if that, only those in the LGA and 5km radius are allowed to play etc…
    Talk about ****ing craziness, but that’s the way it is!
    And what about all those out of work, close by that can’t play and are still paying full whack subs for the privilege!
    I miss it, I miss losing my money to the old burglars, having 4 schooners after whilst having a yarn, practice, whatever but that’s just the world we are in atm…..
    Hold on, ride it out!
    I can't find the rule that forbids you playing golf at your course given it's within 5km of your home. Marrickville golf course is in Inner West Council (not an LGA of concern) but hole 13 and 14 cross into Canterbury-Bankstown LGA. Everyone therefore enters a hotspot LGA. Golfers put masks on when they play these holes.
    I know you have to cross into a different LGA to play but according to NSW govt website a reasonable excuse to leave home is:
    Exercise and outdoor recreation
    • Stay within your local government area. If you need to cross into another local government area, you must stay within 5km of your home.

    That wording on that rule changed yesterday.Well, I thought they added something about not entering LGAs of concern. Ask sms, he's had to enforce that rule to the Shire folk.

    Dictator/Chairman/Comrade Dan earned his monikers long before Covid invaded because of his socialist goals. Irony that he sold out Victoria to China through the belt and road initiative but all he got was their virus.

    Take the first curfews imposed last year, he admitted that these were his decisions. He also announced the curfews 12 hours before the CHO signed off on them, despite that it being unlawful for a parliamentarian to influence public official thats been granted special powers. Now Dan is now bypassing parliamentary process (our democracy at work) by secretly negotiating new pandemic laws with 3 cross benchers (fringe minor parties) to replace current State of Emergency powers which expire soon. Which will permanently give the Premier wide ranging powers at the stroke of a pen for any pandemic.

    I lifted the rules straight from the NSW govt website as I posted it so assumed it was up to date.

    I found the rule on golf NSW website (see below) which is obviously why Nemo can't play. Problem is that no government website seems to contain that wording. I hope golf NSW hasn't stuffed up as they'll be needlessly stopping people from playing. The govt stipulates not entering LGA of concern for shopping but not for exercise.

    GolfNSW:
    Exercise outdoors in groups of a maximum of two (unless players are from the same household) within your own Local Government Area (LGA) OR if outside your LGA it must be within 5km of where you live and you cannot enter a local government area of concern.

    NSW Government:
    Exercise and outdoor recreation
    • Stay within your local government area. If you need to cross into another local government area, you must stay within 5km of your home.

    Queanbeyan GC is open, but getting fields of 60-80 rather than their normal up to 200 due to the restrictions...

    Meanwhile, those across the other side of the railway line are just getting trolled by the Jerrabomberra-ites

    The above rules from NSW government website was for greater Sydney (not LGA's of concern). The following pertains to residents of the LGA's of concern but is almost the same and as far as golf is concerned, is the same (golf is considered exercise).
    Exercise
    • You can leave your home to exercise or to supervise a child aged 12 years or under who is exercising or playing.
    • You must stay within 5km of your home if you go out for exercise or to supervise a child aged 12 years or under who is exercising or playing.
    • After Monday 16 August 2021 you can continue to leave your home for exercise but you cannot leave your home for outdoor recreation.

    I decided to cut out the middlemen (dopes who interpret laws incorrectly) and go straight to the legislation.
    https://legislation.nsw.gov.au/file/...021_210816.pdf
    Schedule 1 Reasonable excuses—Greater Sydney clauses 20(2) and 21(2)(c)

    5. Undertaking exercise or outdoor recreation if—
    (a) the exercise or recreation is undertaken at a place—
    (i) within the local government area in which the person resides or the person’s temporary accommodation is located, or
    (ii) no further than 5 kilometres from the person’s place of residence or temporary accommodation, if the place is within another local government area, and
    (b) for a person travelling in a private vehicle to or from the place—no other person is in the vehicle, other than—
    (i) a member of the person’s household, or
    (ii) the person’s nominated visitor, and
    (c) for a person who is at least 18 years of age, the person—
    (i) carries evidence showing the address of the person’s place of residence or temporary accommodation, and
    (ii) produces the evidence for inspection if requested to do so by a police officer.

    Long story short, Nemo is being dudded.

    Probably just need to concede that we'll be in lockdown in Melbourne until this happens, especially when we share a border with the shitshow currently going on north of our border.

    I stupidly moved into metro melbourne from regional vic 3 weeks into what was meant to be a 6 week lockdown last year. ****ing sucks seeing all my friends and family live a somewhat normal life back in regional vic.

    Hardest part is seeing my partners mental health deteriorate with no real light at the end of the tunnel just yet.

    Not really. I'm just being a sook anyway, grass is always greener etc.

    There's always things that put it into perspective like seeing what's going on in Afghanistan at the moment.

    Some days it doesn't bother me much, other days are just shit. Think tomorrow brings up 200 days in lockdown for Melbourne...

    they way it generally works in any situation, is the State govt makes the regulations, and we need to interpret them. Not every golf club can afford a lawyer to interpret how the regulations apply to their specific and often unique situations.

    The State golf bodies have helped by assess and write up some guidelines, and most clubs would follow that. What golf NSW says is not the law as such, but their best interpretation of it, There is certainly cases where some clubs have acted differently.

    Or some entities just ignore them altogether. I picked my daughter up from dancing on Thursday and caught the tail end of her class. There was no 1 person per 2 square metres and they were practising a routine for the end of year concert which involves some of the girls being lifted. This was still happening as if nothing had happened in our LGA in the past fortnight.

    Golf is, in part, a game; but only in part. It is also in part a religion, a fever, a vice, a mirage, a frenzy, a fear, an abscess, a joy, a thrill, a pest, a disease, an uplift, a brooding, a melancholy, a dream of yesterday and a hope for tomorrow. - New York Tribune, 1916.

    Some likely good news for golf club refugees in Southern Metro Sydney if you are unable to play your own course there is a push behind the scenes to allow you to play whichever course you can play legally. Clubs need to opt in.
    Forum needs more banter.
