Hi Everyone,
We are one day closer to the end of this!
Most of our courses have received confirmation that they may reopen. That's great news, but we must realize the burden we all share to meet and exceed the social distancing requirements at least through the beginning of our active golf season. As we are all in this together we are only as strong as our weakest link so please reach out to those weak links because we don't need any additional pressure to force our health departments hands.
What I'm hearing
- If your counties allows carts, they must be single rider unless they are in quarantined together.
- Most are saying Driving Ranges, Putting Greens, Short Game Areas, Golf Shops must remain closed as they are non essential.
- There are number of mentions in counties communications allowing courses to open back up. That courses must keep people from gathering in parking areas and any common gathering areas.
- Do as much of your necassay business online as possible.
- Quad Cleaning Products may not kill this Coronavirus, please check with your local supplier to ensure what you are using to disinfect your golf carts is effective.
Thanks all I have for now...
More as it develops. Be Well!

An Important Heads Up...
Remember, that if one employee has symptoms or tests positive, ALL staff members that were around that individual during their shift would have to self quarantine for 14 days. Based on your staff level you may have to cease operations anyway. Thanks to Darren Butler, PGA / GM at Cossett Creek for Sharing... Basic Predictions from Dr. Amy Acton is that between 40% and 60% of the population of Ohio will catch the virus. Please be mindful and careful as many of us serve an older clientele. |
