Golf courses are between 100 and 200 acres. Social distancing is easily practiced on a golf course. Directives can be put in place to ensure public safety. Rakes can be removed from bunkers; flags can be left in holes; matches can be reduced to 2 or 3 players and tee and green distancing can be observed. Club houses can remain virtually closed.

In regards to fishing, individual anglers fish with over 30 feet between each other and it is usually very solitary. The very nature of the sport is distancing from other fishermen.

The current lockdown is unhealthy. No harm can come from playing golf and going fishing so long as the pertinent rules are put in place and observed; it is no different from riding a bicycle or going for a jog. And the mental benefits,  during this unprecedented time, would be invaluable.

There are literally hundreds and thousands of golfers and fishermen who live in high rise buildings who would benefit both physically and mentally from being able to enjoy a harmless hobby that gets them out of their prisons; that is literally what their apartments are at this time.

If people are going to shops and travelling on public transport they are far more vulnerable than a golfer or an angler. That is an absolute fact.
