More like it set off the politicians who can't stand the thought that someone might be enjoying themselves without their permission or approval.
They're finding out there are people they can't control that that sets them off.
It’s all about liability.
“ Hikers complain so many people are flocking to trails that it is impossible to maintain distancing guidelines.”
Anecdotal evidence rules the day!!
cripes....maintenance crews are still working...
only make tee-off times on-line
pre pay only and use credit\debit cards only
space tee-off times farther apart.
make all walk and\or only 1 to a cart or rent a boogie board.
hey...I’m jonesin here !!!!
Gov. of Illinois left ‘em open until...
Someone reported 300 people showing up to a golf course true or not? who knows...
Gov. changed the policy and closed them the next day.
We are open here in Connecticut. Cups are up, so there is not putting out. No drive carts are in use. Social distancing? I’m looking for my ball in the woods over here, and the other guy is in the sand trap on the other side of the fairway.
Then again, it might have just been the optics of people out enjoying themselves on the golf course that set off people hearing about it from inside their homes.

This. My tag line.
Isn’t golf the one sport where it’s relatively easy to stand six feet away from other people?
Looks just like how I remember minnesota is April and May. Yuck
I built three bridges and 2 miles of golf cart paths at Braemare,Tarzana California that is. Beautiful grounds with natural streams and waterfalls.
WuhanV cannot infect in the great outdoors due to wind currents and sunlight. Golfers only need to keep a 4ft distance, then play as long as they like.
Lets see the stupids (Dems) try to close down Central Park in NYC. They have closed down my local parks. Though I see walkers in them. Its just that you cannot drive into them anymore and park, when you live a distance from the park/
I don’t play golf and don’t particularly like it; but closing golf courses gets my vote as the most stupid over reach virtue signal in this “crisis.”
Wouldn’t you like to hack that sign and leave some choice messages.
As long as they’re not all washing their balls at the same location, I don’t see why golf is a problem. Until they go into the 19th hole together and drink up.
Outside is closed until further notice.
For me, softball is my salvation, for others it's golf. Unfortunately we can't do that now due to the mandatory closure of the golf courses and the park where we would normally play softball.
So the relief we finally get when Spring arrives is not here this year and we don't know when it will get better. I'd like to see what the divorce rates and suicide rates will be throughout the country for the year 2020.......
So...if I head on down to my local “shuttered” golf course, can I slip onto the 10th hole and shoot me some golf, unnoticed? Or are their maintenance people still working the grounds? This time of year, the grasses are dormant so I don’t see a need for watering and cutting.
And if it wasn’t clear...that was sarcasm.
Another example of the insane absolute herd mentality that has overcome many state and local governments.
In a sister’s area in Southern California they have closed all the cemeteries to anybody except the actual workers placing the urn or casket in the ground. She was planning on putting flowers on the graves of our parents and a sister in law this weekend, for Easter. The stupidity of government has blocked that.
This is how the Nazis got their people to send jews to the gas chamber. We act shocked, but look at how liberals in this country are ready to turn in their fellow americans just because of fear.
In Germany, it was ‘the jews will get you’. Now it’s “The golfers will give you COVID”.
In Virginia, we are allowed to golf.
Actually, we were going to be allowed to go to the drive-in theater as well. But some Nazi stormtroopers took to facebook, and attacked the poor people running the drive-in so horribly that the drive-in changed their mind and stayed closed, even after receiving permission from the government for their plans.
Because some people are like “if I am stuck inside, nobody can have ANY fun at all”. Like I said, Nazi stormtroopers have nothing on the liberals in america.
