Will England Golf Courses Re-Open? Government To Debate
Could England's golf courses be set to re-open fairly soon?
The UK Parliament will debate the petition 'Exempt golf courses from the list of venues required to close due to Covid-19' on Monday 23 November, England Golf has confirmed.
"We know the benefits out sport can provide for both mental and physical health at this time of isolation and hope the government can recognise this during the upcoming debate and support golf's return to playing," England Golf CEO Jeremy Tomlinson said.
"Earlier this year, the game of golf was able to clearly demonstrate that it could be enjoyed in a Covid safe way, which is why it was one of the first sports to return once restrictions were lifted.
"This was a privilege that the sport took incredibly seriously and accordingly adopted the highest possible standards to keep participants safe.
"Our sport has come together in one voice during this difficult year and it's thanks to the support of our members, clubs and counties, as well as our collaboration with the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Golf."
