KEEP GOLF OPEN PETITION LAUNCHED
By The UK Golf Federation

The UK Golf Federation say they want the government's support to keep golf courses open through the term of COVID-19.

 

 

To this end they have launched an online petition which they hope can reach the UK's 2 million golfers through every channel possible to get their message across to the government.

 

Doug Poole, CEO of the UK Golf Federation said, "We believe golf is one of the safest places in our current environment as it requires no person to person contact. You have the ability to change in the car park, there is no reason to take the flag out these days and likely you can always remain two metres apart from your playing partners.

 

"We hope this petition will be the catalyst in helping members, golfers, golf club employees, managers, and all those in our industry share our message to the government and the country to #KeepGolfOpen and emerge stronger."

 

The petition, which as of the morning of Monday 23rd March had received 19,450 signatures, can be found here.
