Many golf courses remain open, implement new guidelines amid COVID-19 pandemic

By Jessica Peres, The Denver Channel

13 April 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted the shutdown of gyms and other fitness studios across the country, leading many people to resort to at-home workouts. But for those seeking exercise outside, parks and even many golf courses are still open.

“At least half of the United States governors have not shut down golf courses,” said Jay Karen, the CEO of the National Golf Course Owners Association (NGCOA). “In fact, some have outright said that they are good, essential places for people to be right now, just like public parks. In about 10 states, there have been executive orders to shut down golf facilities.”

The NGCOA proves education outreach, holds conferences and more for owners of golf courses across the country. Adhering to the Centers for Disease Control’s recommendations, it has issued guidelines for golf courses that have decided to remain open.

“The intent is that a person could literally drive their car to the parking lot, get out, make their way up to the first tee and around 18 or nine holes and back to the parking lot in a socially distant, safe manner,” Karen explained. “That truly is what this is about. It’s literally a check list that golf courses use with their staff and their customers.”

The NGCOA calls the recommendations “Park and Play: Make Your Course Social Distance Ready.”

Some of the guidelines include:

  • Encourage golfers to pay in advance online or over the phone
  • Place signage around course and shop outlining social distancing guidelines
  • Increase tee time intervals
  • Do not provide rental clubs
  • Eliminate food sales
  • Sanitize each golf cart after use
  • Ensure players use separate golf carts, unless they are family quarantined together

The guidelines were vetted by a doctor at the Infectious Diseases Society of America.

“The game has been adjusted. So, the superintendents of golf courses are raising the cups out of the hole so if you hit the raised cup it’s as good as hitting it in the hole,” Karen explained. “Flag sticks don’t get touched, or in some cases, they’re removing the flags altogether and just putting the hole in the middle of the green, on every green.”

Steel Canyon Golf Club in Georgia has put up signs and changed its answering machine in order to advise patrons of the new “Park and Play” rules.

“We realize golf is unique in this conversation of what stays open and what stays closed because,” said Karen. “We like to say we are basically a 150-acres park and we let four people on at a time, every ten minutes.”

He adds while golf may seem trivial during the current coronavirus pandemic, golfing may not be much different than heading to the local park and can be good for mental health.

“I just think there’s a whole populous out there that cannot sequester themselves for weeks at a time without going outside and at least walking around, getting fresh air and exercising,” Karen said. “If people are allowed to get outside and exercise, then there’s a role in the golf course, as long as they can maintain that safety.”

There are some people who are golfing right now that really weren’t golfers before but right now they’re finding that they’re craving that physical activity and they’re joining up with this sport. Despite the increased interest, NCGOA says golf courses across the country are suffering. The golf courses that have stayed open have seen business plummet by up to 80 percent. This comes during what is usually the busiest time of year for the sport.

Many U.S. Golf Courses Are Open Despite Distancing Orders

By Dave Merrill, Bloomberg

12 April 2020

Across the U.S. most restaurants, bars and businesses deemed non-essential have closed, and almost every American has been ordered to stay at home as Covid-19 cases increase and deaths mount. While states permit people to get outside and exercise, finding space for fresh air can be hard to come by, as authorities limit the number of people that can congregate, and where. National parks, beaches and recreation areas have closed, but in most states, golf courses are an exception. About half of America’s 16,000 courses continue to operate in 34 states as essential outlets for exercise and health maintenance.

That might be welcome news to some of the 1.5 million workers supported by the golfing industry—excluding many of the furloughed caddies and clubhouse and restaurant staff whose jobs are considered non-essential segments of golf course operations. For the 24 million people in the U.S. who play the sport, mild late-winter weather provided more chances to tee up, and online bookings in the first quarter of 2020 were up 10% from last year, according to GolfNow data.

But even on 150-acre golf courses, some states and municipalities have called into question whether course operators can enforce social distancing guidelines—and whether golf courses are an essential business for recreation. Professional golf tournaments have been canceled or postponed, including the PGA’s Masters—which was scheduled for this weekend but postponed until November. Some of the states hardest hit by the outbreak, including Washington, Michigan and New Jersey, have forced all golf courses to close. Parts of Florida and California have done the same.

State Orders on Golf Course Closures

In an effort to prevent the spread of the virus at courses that remain open, new safety measures have been implemented nationwide. Clubs require limited handling of common items, flag sticks must be left in the hole and ball washers, towels and bunker rakes have been removed from courses. Some clubs have a one-rider-per-cart policy. Others have removed carts altogether because employees who clean and fuel the carts have been deemed non-essential and cannot work.

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced Thursday that state golf courses are not essential and will be closed indefinitely. Some New York courses were operating with reduced staffing before the Thursday’s closure. A March 27 statement from New York’s regional Professional Golf Association and the Metropolitan Golf Association outlined that most staff are not essential and cannot work at the clubs even if operators choose to keep them open. “If clubs don’t feel comfortable having players on the course without staff available, the ‘lock the gates’ option should be considered,” the statement said.

Scaled-Back Operations

Prior to Governor Cuomo’s announcement, Suffolk County Park System’s four public courses had operated for several weeks having implemented safety plans approved by county health officials—including adding minutes between tee times. But in Meriden, Connecticut, City Manager Tim Coon closed a municipal course on March 30 after he observed large groups on the course and in parking lots not adhering to social distancing guidelines “multiple times over multiple days,” putting the safety of players and employees at risk.

“We’re saying, ‘Listen, we’d rather have you off the course than in a hospital,’” Coon said.

President Trump’s golf properties have been particularly hard hit by local closure mandates. Only two of 12 U.S. Trump Golf courses, in Charlotte and Northern Virginia, remain open. Three Florida properties have closed in compliance with county ordinances, as have Trump’s New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Los Angeles properties. As with many other golf operations, Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia, while remaining open, filed a layoff notice Thursday that affects 102 workers.

A petition requesting resumption of play in Minnesota has gained more than 40,000 signatures. In Wisconsin, 40 Republican lawmakers signed a letter to Governor Tony Evers urging him to reopen courses. But right now, according to GolfNow data, more courses are closing on a daily basis than are reopening.

Overall municipal courses have been more likely to close than privately-operated courses. And those in rural settings have been more likely to stay open than urban clubs. According to National Golf Foundation course closure data, 76% of Oklahoma courses remain open for golf.

In normal times, Bill Golden, the CEO of PlayGolfMyrtleBeach.com, is responsible for marketing 80 public courses in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Spring and fall are peak seasons for golf on the so-called Grand Strand courses.

“Right now, we aren’t marketing travel packages and we shouldn’t. So, we are asking our robust local golfing audience, if you have a chance to come out and do what you love, we’d love to have you.”

Eleven courses are closed, mostly because larger, multiple-course operators have consolidated tee-times to fewer courses. “With consolidation comes layoffs,” says Golden.

According to Golden, businesses are dutifully trying to maintain payrolls as best they can. Many are seeking Small Business Administration payroll protection made available through federal stimulus funding. The SBA relief loans will be forgiven if businesses can maintain headcounts and salaries over an eight-week stretch.

Golden says that across the board, resorts and hotels are honoring a no-questions-asked cancellation and refund policy. And while the spring economic reverses have been substantial, golf bookings for fall travel are way up. “The desire is there, the ability isn’t,” Golden said.

Ryder Cup captains issue joint letter pledging unity in coronavirus fight

By Golf365

07 April 2020

Ryder Cup captains Padraig Harrington and Steve Stricker have issued a joint letter stressing Europe and the US must remain united in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic.

Despite a widespread reshuffling of the golf year, and the cancellation of The Open, the 2020 Ryder Cup is still scheduled to take place in Wisconsin in September.

In the letter, Harrington and Stricker wrote: “Every two years Europe and the United States of America come together.

The Ryder Cup has not yet been cancelled or postponed

“We are united by the shared values of sportsmanship and our desire to defeat a formidable opponent.

“In doing so, we witness some incredible displays of determination, passion and spirit.

“When Europe takes on the United States in The Ryder Cup it is always fiercely contested but it is just golf. It is not a matter of life and death.

“Today Europe and the United States are united like never before. We have a formidable opponent, but it is not each other. It is like nothing we have ever faced before.

“Defeating Coronavirus won’t happen in three days. It won’t happen because of the efforts of only 12 men. It needs all of us to play our part.”

Harrington and Stricker went on to pay tribute to the health workers who have put their lives on the line to head to the frontline of the crisis.

They added: “Instead of celebrating someone in a Green Jacket, this week we rightly celebrate those selfless people around the world wearing scrubs, wearing white coats, wearing supermarket uniforms, together with everyone else working round the clock to protect us and keep the world functioning.

“You are our true heroes.”

Scottsdale golf courses largely remain open, adapt during COVID-19 closures

By Josh Martinez, Daily Independent

06 April 2020

While the novel coronavirus has brought the majority of Scottsdale to a grinding halt, local golf courses are still moving on the commercial freeway.

In a March 23 executive order, Gov. Doug Ducey deemed golf courses essential businesses, allowing them to remain open in counties with a confirmed COVID-19 case while many other businesses and schools shut down as part of the pandemic.

Mr. Ducey went further on March 30 with the announcement of his Stay Home, Stay Healthy, Stay Connected executive order.

This made non-essential business closures statewide and called for residents to limit their time away from home as well as practicing social distancing.

With no order to close, many golf courses, both private and public, across the state and Scottsdale are remaining open with many establishing efforts to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus while still offering an outlet to residents.

“In light of recent announcements, and in an effort to navigate these unchartered waters, please know that our primary focus has been, and will continue to be, the health and safety of our members, guests and team members,” Arcis Golf CEO Blake Walker said in a prepared statement.

“Rest assured that we have implemented the most aggressive and stringent cleaning protocols to enhance our already strong, regular sanitation procedures.”

Arcis Golf owns both Continental Golf Club and Ancala Country Club, among many other courses across the Valley and country. Mr. Ducey’s decision regarding golf courses was met with mixed emotion.

During a March 30 press conference, Mr. Ducey said he made the decisions so far based on Arizona data and how Arizona is handling the spread of the coronavirus. He also said he was cognizant of the wording because he didn’t want people to panic because of the use of “shelter in place,” or similar phrases.

“We want people to stay at home. It will have the same type of effect,” he said during the conference. “But we also realize that people are going to need an outlet and there’s a way to do it in a safe way and the order has the mechanisms.”

Brad Kozak is the president of Phoenix-based Foreward Business Consulting, where he develops golf tourism packages. Since the start of social distancing, Mr. Kozak said he has been golfing regularly because he sees it as an outlet from the day-to-day stresses, a sentiment he believes others share.

“All of a sudden, people are not in their offices, they’re at home with their kids every single second of every single day,” he said. “I think it’s a bit of an outlet. I know at my golf club, I’ve seen more families out of the golf course where usually it would just be male, female, whoever coming to play with their friends whereas now, in the afternoons, you’ll see guy and wife bringing up their kids.

“I think it promotes the healthy, going outside part as opposed to I want to play really good golf.”

While many stay open, there are some in Scottsdale that have decided to shutter for the time being. McCormick Ranch Golf Club decided to take this route following the close of business March 21.

“We feel that it is our duty to put the health of our employees, guests and community above revenue and we hope you understand,” Stuart Kirk, club president, said in a prepared statement to the community.

“The plan and expectation is that when we are able to reopen, we’ll call our employees back to work and post a notice on our doors, website and phone system.”

While loving golf and the outlet it provides, Mr. Kozak says he understands the argument for closing golf courses during the pandemic.

“A golf course, at the end of the day, is a recreational activity,” he said. “If you’re going to go about closing other things, then golf courses probably should be under that umbrella as well. So I’m kind of on the fence about it.”

Precautions and effects

Many Scottsdale golf courses have announced a series of precautions they are taking to better combat the spread of COVID-19 while still allowing for patrons to visit their facilities.

Some actions include limiting face-to-face interactions such as eliminating bag loading and unloading; sanitizing golf carts; leaving the flagsticks in the cup during putting; not using rakes in bunkers; and having one person from a group enter the golf shop. Some are switching to prepayment options to further eliminate interactions.

On the course, clubs recommend golfers follow the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s guidelines of maintaining proper distances and proper hygiene practices.

“While we remain open for play in these unprecedented times, the safety and well-being of our staff and our patrons continues to be our top priority,” McDowell Mountain Golf Club wrote in a prepared statement to golfers.

“While our staff is working diligently to ensure the safest possible environment, we ask that you join us in helping to keep golf safe through the coming weeks and months.”

When it comes to golfers, Mr. Kozak said he divides them into two groups: avid and casual participants. He said he believes avid golfers, ones who golf every week or more, will continue golfing while courses might see a taper off in casual participants.

In Scottsdale, Mr. Kozak said he believes there are more avid golfers so he doesn’t expect to see too much of a drop-off. Furthermore, he said in his line of work, he’s seen golf trips come to a standstill since people aren’t traveling.

“We’ve had pretty much 100% cancellation from our business in the Valley,” he said. “The worst part is there’s not really an end to it so now April’s washed out now that the stay-in-place here in Arizona. Hopefully, we can get things back by mid-May, June.”

The mindset Mr. Kozak sees being prevalent among golf courses is to keep their heads above water with their sights set on a potential positive future. He says while golf courses may take a hit during the time of closures, he knows they will bounce back.

“It’s a resilient industry and I think it will come back stronger than ever,” he said.

“It’s unfortunate to see a lot of those hospitality jobs being lost but as things get back to normal, hopefully in the next couple of months, I think we’ll see a big bump up in golf and people spending money to visit this area of the country.”

Golf courses adapting to stay open during COVID-19 pandemic

By Patrick Clark Fox2Now

06 April 2020

The fairways at the Forest Park golf course are empty on Monday afternoon. But at Berry Hill Golf Course in Bridgeton, they’ve adjusted the way the game is played, starting with walking only, and pulling the cups out of the ground.

“They know they’re not supposed be touching the flag stick and we’ve done all the necessary things you need to do about water stations,” said Dave Levine, PGA golf professional at Berry Hill Golf Course. “They’re all off the course. So, I think everybody is pretty educated and playing by the rules, so we’re going to try and stay open as long as we can.”

Missouri Governor Mike Parson asking residents to remain at home but there are exceptions like biking, hiking, hunting, and golf.

“We wouldn’t have opened it if we thought it was a danger to the public health,” said Bridgeton Mayor Terry Briggs. “But we took steps here to close the clubhouse, prevent anybody from taking out carts. The only thing you can do here is golf and that’s good exercise for you. And I don’t think we would have opened had we not taken these precautions.”

At Berry Hill, the clubhouse is closed and portable toilets have been installed around the course.

“I think they did a great job protecting everybody,” said golfer Tyrone Lee. “The way it’s set up out here is protected for everybody. Definitely didn’t have any problem with the social distancing. I think the closest person to me was about 75 or 80 yards away. So, I think we were pretty safe.”

For some of the retirees or golfers on this course, this game is how they’re trying to fight the coronavirus.

“They say the fresh air and sunshine is good for it to build up your immune system,” said golfer Volker Gruss. “That’s another reason I like to come out and get exercise; to keep your immune system built up to fight off the virus as best as you can.”

New Masters date, canceled British Open headline new PGA Tour schedule for 2020

By Kevin Cunningham, Golf.com

06 April 2020

Golf’s governing bodies announced on Monday that three of the four men’s majors will be rescheduled for later dates in 2020, while the 2020 Open Championship will be canceled.

The first major championship of the year will be the PGA Championship. Originally scheduled for May 14-17, the 2020 PGA will now be played Aug. 6-9 and will remain at TPC Harding Park in San Francisco.

The next major on the list will be the U.S. Open, which will be contested Sept. 17-20 at Winged Foot in New York. Finally, the 2020 Masters has been rescheduled for the week of Nov. 9, confirming rumors that suggested a fall event at Augusta National was in the offing.

“We want to emphasize that our future plans are incumbent upon favorable counsel and direction from health officials,” Augusta National chairman Fred Ridley said in a statement. “Provided that occurs and we can conduct the 2020 Masters, we intend to invite those professionals and amateurs who would have qualified for our original April date and welcome all existing ticket holders to enjoy the excitement of Masters week.”

The Open Championship, on the other hand, is the odd major out. The 2020 Open will be canceled instead of rescheduled. Royal St. George’s in England, which was supposed to play host to this year’s event, will now host the 2021 tournament July 15-18, pushing the 150th Open Championship at St. Andrews to 2022.

“I can assure everyone that we have explored every option for playing The Open this year but it is not going to be possible,” R&A chief executive Martin Slumbers said in a statement. “I would like to thank our fans around the world and all of our partners for their support and understanding. At a difficult time like this we have to recognise that sport must stand aside to let people focus on keeping themselves and their families healthy and safe.”

Outside of the majors, another big golf event also received good news. The 2020 Ryder Cup will retain its original spot on the schedule. The U.S. and European teams will compete Sept. 25-27 at Whistling Straits in Wisconsin, just one week after the rescheduled U.S. Open.

Most other PGA Tour events will not see the light of day in 2020, except for four big ones at the end of the year. The Wyndham Championship and the three FedEx Cup Playoff events will be moved back one week, beginning Aug. 10 and ending Sept. 7.

The announcement comes after weeks of speculation around whether the 2020 majors would be played at all in light of the coronavirus pandemic. The crisis has shuttered sports leagues around the world, including all of golf’s major tours. On May 13, the PGA Tour canceled the Players Championship after one round had already been played. The Tour announced the cancellation of three other spring events at the same time.

The next day, Augusta National postponed the 2020 Masters, confirming for many that pro golf would be shut down for a considerable amount of time. Just a few days later, the Tour announced the postponement of PGA and the cancellation of all events up to that week.

All in all, it’s great news for golf fans, many of whom feared we wouldn’t see major championship golf again until 2021. Many wrinkles still have to be ironed out, such as how these tournaments will be televised. Given the new fall dates, they will have to contend with other major sports that traditionally occur in the fall, most notably the NFL.

Here’s the complete new schedule for 2020.

NEW PGA TOUR SCHEDULE FOR 2020

August 6-9: PGA Championship at TPC Harding Park, San Francisco, Calif.

August 13-16: Wyndham Championship at Sedgefield CC, Greensboro, N.C.

August 20-23: Northern Trust at TPC Boston, Norton, Mass.

August 27-30: BMW Championship at Olympia Fields CC, Olympia Fields, Ill.

September 4-7: Tour Championship at East Lake GC, Atlanta, Ga.

September 17-20: U.S. Open at Winged Foot GC, Mamaroneck, N.Y.

September 25-27: Ryder Cup at Whistling Straits, Kohler, Wisc.

November 12-15: Masters at Augusta National, Augusta, Ga.
