1) I've never had to type it using a tablet so format might look odd
2) We're in the middle of a pandemic
What we can know about the coming months seems to change daily. One of the constants though seems to be that predictions are getting more serious about our own responsibility in affecting the spread and overall severity of this virus.
As temperatures warm up and spring and summer arrive, the desire to be outside and tend to our normal lives is going to look different - if we're doing it right, it'll look different. A widely shared fear is that people will dismiss the recommendations and engage in activities that increase the likelihood of transmission.
At this moment the golf industry is grappling with how to deal with an inherently social activity being relegated to a singular activity. Leadership from the USGA, PGA, and GCSAA as well as local and state associations are trying to get a clear path forward that's responsible and doesn't increase the risk to the general public. Indications at this moment are we're not there yet and I suspect it's because theres no precedent for what we're all dealing with.
What we can be sure of is that the property itself will be preserved and maintained. Whether golf as we know it is shut down for the next month or two, the greens tees and fairways will not be abandoned. When all of this is over we'll still be a golf club and will still have a golf course.
Please follow the latest recommendations of the CDC and local health department and keep up to date on all warnings.
Our decision is to remain closed based on the executive order. We will communicate any changes in status as soon as we get clarification. Those decisions will be made this week 3/21/20 as the "NY On Pause" for non essential businesses takes effect.
We expect everyone's putting to dramatically improve as the amount of indoor practice continues.
Look forward to seeing you out there (eventually). Until then, stay home and stay safe.
