- Maintaining Distance
- Golf is a sport with built-in distance between participants, making it ideal for social distancing. When out on the course or on the practice areas, golfers should keep a length of at least six feet between each other. With the typical wide-open, outdoor spaces of golf facilities, don't forget to maintain distance while enjoying the fresh air and warmer weather.
- Clean and Sanitize
- Be sure to clean and sanitize your hands throughout the round. Keep a bottle of hand sanitizer in your bag for easy and constant access. Additionally, after each outing, try to clean and sanitize your grips and clubs.
- Avoid Contact
- Golf courses are adapting with new policies. Avoid touching the flagstick. With raised cups and other contactless ways of holing putts out, golfers can still enjoy a round without pulling or touching the pin.
- Postround Handshakes
- Instead of the typical handshake at the conclusion of the round, use a contactless method of communication. Whether it's a wave, bow, or other celebration, feel free to express yourself while keeping clean.
