This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition Allow socially distanced golf for mental and physical health reasons.
Allow a system during Covid19 lockdown, where 2 people can play at a time, on pre-booked Tee times, and the only function of the club would be to allow players to play. No ancillary services would be required at this point.
More details
We would like Parliament to consider the easing of golfing restrictions enough to allow players to play. The clubhouse should be closed, but the Professional should be allowed to open the course shop, so to police the footfall.
The idea would be for 2 balls to be allowed to book a Tee time with 15 minute intervals so that the players don’t meet in the car park or around the course.
This would assist with the mental and physical health of many.
