Following enquiries, not only from member Clubs but also from individual players regarding the latest decree announced by the Minister of Health on the COVID-19 pandemic, the CGF wishes to clarify the following:
- Travel restrictions imposed by the current decree impact not only the everyday lives of normal people but also golf as well as a number of other sports
- No restrictions have been imposed on how golf is played in the latest decree
- Clubs and courses are free to take the necessary safety measures and actions they may deem appropriate for their own circumstances, to protect their membership, courses, and commercial interests
- The CGF has decided not to impose any restrictions on how the game is played beyond the recommendations and guidelines as published by the R&A in their update of 29 June 2020, which Clubs are free to interpret and utilise as they see fit.
- The CGF will keep its membership informed should future decrees announce by the government impact how the game of golf is played
