That while my business is all but closed along with millions like it the golf course across the street is covered in old men riding cheek to cheek in golf carts. The same ones we are trying to protect ..... that is all.

The golf course nearest to me is closed. I think the city of Allen owns it though.

Outdoor activities should be fairly safe if you are smart about it. The virus has a lipid coating. (Think of it like a cell wall made of fat). That's why hand washing with soap does such a great job of killing the virus. The soap destroys the lipid coating and the virus dies.
There's some good indications it doesn't do well in warm humid environments for the same reason. UV light is known to quickly kill the virus. (Even on cloudy days there is a fair amount of UV radiation). Not to mention there is almost always at least a little wind to provide fresh air. None of these conditions exist inside crowded restaurants/bars.

Everything I just mentioned combines to make outdoor activities fairly safe. People need to be able to get outside to maintain mental health. Fresh air, sunshine, being out in creation are extremely important. Be smart about it though. Don't be in the same golf cart/boat unless you are sheltering with that person. Maintain good social distance of at least 6 feet at all times. This should be pretty easy in a lot of outdoor environments.

Same here. Unless you are playing with a immediate family member, it's one cart, one rider.

The courses I play have in placed the following
• one person per cart
• carts are sanitized
• drinking water has been removed
• ball washers have been removed
• you have to leave flag stick in
• they have installed a cover so the ball doesn’t drop into hole all the way

I haven’t played. But, I have also heard that rakes were removed from the bunkers.

I had a glorious 48 hours where John put me on ignore and wasn't commenting on my posts. All good things come to an end I guess. A fella can hope it happens again and soon.

Just sharing what I've read folks. I read a fair amount. Virtually none of that reading is done on main stream media sites by the way. It almost all comes from articles written by actual scientists. As I've said in the past, I'm sure I don't always get it right. A lot of this information changes quickly as scientists learn more. A couple folks have mentioned they find my information sharing useful. I know a bunch don't find it useful. That's okay. It's a fishing forum after all.

That's probably not a good idea.

They should be washing their balls after every hole.
