After a very long 12 weeks, golf courses are back open in England!
Golf Is Back! – Golfers In England Return To The Fairways
The courses have been manicured. The clubs are cleaned. The golfers are back!
Today marks the first time golf courses have been open in England since 4th January as lockdown measures in the country begin to ease.
After a 12 week shutdown, golfers are getting back out onto the fairways today – and how we have missed it!
We’ve already seen a barefooted golfer play 18 holes in 42 minutes and another tee off at 12.01am!
Golf Is Back! – Golfers In England Return To The Fairways
The Iron Golfer Luke Willett set out bright and early this morning to play some barefooted speed golf at @WokingGolf.
He completed 18 holes in 42 minutes and 84 strokes 👏👏 @squarebananaglf @wildgolfpodcast #golfisback pic.twitter.com/hHq6lnY8DK
