Good to see driving a buggy around a golf course is being deemed essential exercise.

I'm certainly not saying that those people with zero awareness are helping the situation and their actions may be slowing the recovery, but don't you think that the brain bods would allow for this?
I remember reading somewhere (no links sorry, and I could be completely wrong on this), but the initial modelling on lockdown was done on the basis of 50% of the population adhering to the rules.

That's very interesting if correct, and encouraging to a certain degree.

You make statements you can't back up, lol, makes you look like a hypocrite as I would have thought it went against the grain for you to do that.
Well well well duw duw duw

I put in a few caveats "I remember reading somewhere" and "I could be completely wrong on this".

I've been telling him he should ride a bicycle to the beach and he might get away with it as there seem to have been different rules for cyclists, but now I'm going to tell him to take a set of golf clubs instead.

If you're into anything involving exercise it's always tough when you don't get your fix
I miss going to the gym more, which I did 4-5 times a week until the last few months as it's something I looked forward too , so I get where your mate is coming from.
Maybe the only way of dealing with this would have been a complete lock down for a month or more with one member of the household allowed out for essential shopping
But if you can queue up for some essential paint at a DIY store then the idea of stopping someone exercising is completely bollocks as far as I'm concerned

I am also missing the gym. I stopped going about 2 weeks before the lockdown, firstly because I had a heavy cold at the time, then it seemed like a potential breeding ground for the virus.
If gyms re-opened tomorrow, though, I wouldn't even contemplate returning based on current information.

It may be, depends if you are able to take into account the caveats that I put in place. Caveats that are missing in all your posts. But, hey, if Google churns it out it must be true.

Caveats, links, links from certain sources, links that only discuss what you want them to discuss.
LOL

It will be a long time before anyone can get back there, that's why testing is so important

Oh I do share links but not continually on your say so, you can find your own links.

I guess maybe you share links when they back up the claims you claim you don't make. Here's another link for you
https://scienceornot.net/2012/12/04/...rden-of-proof/
Maybe that will look familiar.

Apparently, plastic rings have been designed such that the ball is caught higher up the hole so the flag doesnt need to be removed. As for bunkers, one possible solution is that a bunker-wallah is employed to do nothing but raking. Not my sport so I've got this second hand from those that own the relevant set of bats.

You are right. In 800 posts, you have provided links to your claims a grand total of twice. Each time, the link backed up the claim you were making. And yes, I was bored enough to check it out, currently home alone with my partner out working.

This will sort the flag issue out

Exactly. I agree 100%. The lockdown guidelines and the way in which they have been implemented has been nonsense from day one and they've got more ridiculous as time has progressed.
Some examples (imagine that social distancing is being observed in all cases):
I can't go and sit in a garden with members of my family or my friends for half an hour, but I can go and queue up outside a DIY superstore while surrounded by complete strangers for several hours.
I can't go into a bookshop and browse the books, but I can go and browse the books in Asda, Morrisons or Sainsburys.
I can't drive a relatively short distance to my local mountain range and go for a walk, but a cyclist can ride for miles to said mountain range and ride around them to his or her's heart's content.
I can't go into Primark and buy clothes, but I can go into M&S a couple of doors away and buy clothes.
A surfer can't drive a short distance to a beach and go surfing, but a golfer can drive a short distance to a course and play golf.
I'm told I shouldn't leave my home unless it's essential to do so, but I'm also told I can go to a garden centre if I want to.
A golfer can play with a friend at Lydney Golf Club in Gloucestershire, but can't do so less than nine miles away at St Pierre Golf Club.
This one I discovered the other day and it really made me laugh (store policy not government policy): a married couple cannot enter Sainsburys and do their shopping at the same time, but two complete strangers can.
I appreciate this situation has not be easy to deal with, but common sense has been lacking from the outset.
