Back to Golf

Now that golf is allowed again, the boys got out on the course yesterday. Social distancing observed. No touching the pin. No rakes in the bunkers. Fair enough. However, only two-balls are allowed to play, no more, even if they live in the same house. So, only two of the three of us could play, and the course was near empty - crazy! However, I walked around with my camera and took photos. It was cold for June, as you can see from what the boys were wearing. It was a tight match for them finishing all square on the 18th.

Nice shot and SO good you were able to play a game of golf again, and yes, only allowing a 2 ball game seems rather silly ...

[Valerie Chesney]

How good was that.....great capture of the happy players & the golf course.

Ooh it looks colder than here. We were allowed to play with people in your bubble in level 3, then with 4 at level 2, but no cart sharing, or touching flags or raking bunkers. As from tomorrow in Level 1, no cases in whole of NZ, normal golf resumes

[KoalaGardens🐨]

every step forward is good :)

[Casablanca]

The perfect social distancing sport! Yes, it's been jolly cold again - should warm up next week. Teenager has a birthday next week, so am hoping for warm and dry to have some outdoor fun in the garden!

A wonderfu capture. Love the Scotch broom in full of flowers!

[Denise Wood]

Great golf capture :)

[Babs]

It looks colder than it is here in Australia and it is winter here. Good to hear lockdown is being relaxed

[bkb in the city]

Great shot. Golf courses are open here too but not under those limits

[Mallory]

A fantastic shot this is!

[Pigeons Farm]

Great to see some sense of normality returning :) Great photo.

[Bep]

Nice shot, Issi. The gorse in the background looks wonderful.

[Tom]

Wonderful capture of returning to normal

[Margaret Brown]

Nice capture but we are not there yet are we!

[Tunia McClure]

You would have won easily if your could have played, right?

[Kathy]

Glad you are able to get back to playing golf. I know from the past it's something that you like to do. Golf courses probably have some great photo ops since they are kept up so nicely.

[KWind]

Great shot. Glad they can play again.

[Islandgirl]

Great shot..............so nice to have the golf courses open again!

[Faye Turner]

Great capture

[Milanie]

Think you got as good as they did - beautiful shot. Love the colors. Glad to see things back a little towards normalcy for you

[Denise (lyndemc)]

Glad to know at least a little bit of normal is returning to your lives. The yellow bushes make a brilliant splash of backdrop color.

[Taffy]

That seems so strange -- how 3 people in an open setting would make a difference is beyond me. But at least you got to walk the course and they were able to play. I'm looking forward to golf on the island once I've quarantined up there. Fingers crossed!

[Issi Bannerman]

@casablanca We have two birthdays this weekend. I was SO hoping for nice weather, as we wanted to walk Ben Avon. However, it seems that is not to be. I have to work on Plan B.

[Issi Bannerman]

@taffy Yes indeed. Baby steps.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Some of these rules are going into absurd and ridiculous. But I'm glad you found a way to be out there anyway!

[Leslie]

well that's just nuts

[Sarah Bremner]

Lovely photo....all the yellow on broom etc is gorgeous at the moment.
So many of these rules are crazy! Created in the central belt for the central belt and no understanding of more rural places ....perhaps?

[Issi Bannerman]

@tunia Of course. ;-)

[Issi Bannerman]

@sarah19 I've never seen so much blossom on the broom as this year. It's just a delight to see. Here's hoping that we'll get another announcement tomorrow - the numbers seem to be good at present.
