Let Ontario Golf

The Issue

Covid-19 has changed our way of life. With nice weather just around the corner, everyone will be asking what is essential. Activities where people are in close contact, is obviously dangerous. Golf however, already takes social distancing into account. People are separated by 10-15 minutes. In fact, the flow of individuals is more regulated at a golf course than at a grocery store.

A golf course can easily take payments online or over the phone. They can easily manage the execution of tee-offs remotely. Closing beverage services, pro-shops, and restaurants would be a small price to pay for an industry that could be decimated by this pandemic. 

There are very few activities we can do during this pandemic, golf happens to be one that is safe and manageable.

Adults need some mental headspace at these dire times, including physical activity. Golf is the way forward and should be allowed.
