Some California counties are cautiously reopening golf courses

Open so this man can golf! Please let this man golf.

These conversations posted make me sad and give golfers a bad name. Yes they can golf, but with responses like these, will anyone obey the new rules for safety. I bet not. The highest number of deaths from all other viruses is in one year is 62,000. In two months we will have hit that number. Golf, enjoy yourself, but be responsible.

Great. Hope there is a Huuuge Trump rally. No masks allowed.

Amen brother!

Can everyone stop being so damn selfish so we can get out there and golf! I wish these losers would stop being selfish and let us play our game!

Hi Craig,

I am afraid that the issue is not so much selfishness as political motivation. The far left democratic establishment has lied about Russia, lied about Ukraine, lied about Kavanaugh. They are unscrupulous. Now they are closing down even the golf courses to accomplish their goal of disrupting the economic miracle inspired by Trump in the last three years. Our best information is that the virus could be spread in closed rooms, with confined spaces, not out in the open air on a golf course where people maintain social distance.

What a bunch of propaganda. A person doesn't need to sneeze directly on you. It helps to be outside but if you think you can't get it from someone because you're outside, you're misinformed.

The Democrats have ordered people to stay at home to save lives. But the reality is that thousands of people dying is going to destroy the economy regardless of the stay at home orders. When there is a deadly disease going around, intelligent people stay home regardless of any order.

But go ahead and exercise your right to be infected.

There were no lies about Russia or the Ukraine except the lies that Trump put forward. I can't speak to Kavanaugh as that was a he said, she said situation. The so-called economic miracle was a continuation of the economic growth started under Obama. Everything was trending in that direction before Delusional Donald took office. The only growth that accelerated was the market and that was a product of reckless Fed actions.
As for the virus, it spreads everywhere that viruses spread. That includes outdoors. Keep your distance from the people you golf with and take hand sanitizer. Or you'll like become part of the statistics.

Please inform us as to where you have found evidence for this being a "deadly" disease. As I am sure you are aware, over 60-70 thousand people die each year as a result of the common flu. Please present us evidence for why this Covid-19 is more deadly? Please identify where the deaths are occurring in this country, which cities, which states. Of the people who died, how many are in nursing homes already, how many have serious underlying diseases, and how many are over 65 years old. Once you have provided this information, then we can talk seriously and intelligently about this so called pandemic. However, if you get your news from CNN, NBC, and the democratic party, you will get only biased news and propaganda. They have a political agenda. Namely, anything to get Trump, even kill the economy. They have lied about Russia, they lied about Ukraine, they lied about impeachment, and they lied about Kavanaugh. Now are we supposed to believe them about this Covid-19 virus? At minimum, we need to investigate their claims with scrutiny. The best evidence is that thousands of people were coming to California from Wuhan and China in November, December, and January. As a result, recent studies show thousands of Californians have already contracted Covid-19 and have already developed antibodies. These people got the so called "fatal" disease and never even knew they were sick. The panic in California has been severely overblown. Please present us with some facts.

Please be specific right here. List every lie that Trump told about Russia? About Ukraine? About impeachment? Just list the lies so we can examine exactly what lies you are addressing. Are you willing to list at least five lies? Thanks for engaging in an intellectual discussion of the issues.

I have a better challenge. List five things truths that Trump has told. Good Luck

OK, the truth is that you have NO significant examples. Just as the media and Dems have lied about Trump, just as you have no examples, these same people are lying about this Covid-19 virus. And those lies are keeping you off the golf course, and those lies are damaging all of those hard working people who make our golf courses run. The best truth which President Trump is speaking at present is that he is voicing the opinions and hopes of the great mass of working people who want to get back to work. It was the hard working people of this country who elected Donald Trump, and it is the intellectuals on the East and West coasts that could care less. President Trump is the voice of all of us hard working people who have a responsibility to our families. The best truth he has spoken is that CNN, NBC, NPR, etc., are FAKE news. And I could give you examples of this daily, and you know it. They distort the news in order to create propaganda.

I'd love to play golf but refuse to wear a mask outdoors, this is ridiculous

Please go out... get close to people... breathe deeply

depends on the course (and county). most I've seen are doing 1 per cart. some are allowing 2 per cart if both from the same household, which makes sense but may open the door to abuse. Most have removed rakes and ball washers and have (no flag touching) rules. one I've seen is doing 4 tee times per hour also. going to be interesting to see what playing with a mask is like.

Hi Dave. Has anyone given you medical advice regarding the effect of wearing a mask? Have you read any medical literature based on a scientific study? My investigation suggests that its main job is to keep you from touching your face. And, the virus is not spread in the out of doors if you keep some degree of social distancing. I don't bother with a mask out of doors. It is unnecessary.

We need to open up the golf courses. Think of the great people who work in the courses who are being put out of work. These people are not on the upper rungs of the economic ladder. They need their jobs, and their incomes. They work hard for their living. We need to put them back to work.

I refuse to use a mask outside, this has nothing to do with health and everything to do with control [period]
