Not that I was ever a good golfer, but that seems like an easy activity (like biking or hiking) that you could participate and "social distance".Lucky! It's so nice here today, it would be a welcome distraction.
Keep the clubhouses closed, and space people out...
One bit of good news. Maybe a sign of getting back to normal. Ohio golf courses can now re open. The one by us is packed. This must have happened just today.
That doesn't make any sense to me. Not the closing of courses, but not allowing workers to do what they need to do. As you mention, surely they can maintain social distancing. They're not open to the public, so you don't need to worry about that.You're doing the reverse of MI. Courses here were allowed to be open until ordered to close this week. Apparently what they're most upset about right now is they're restricted from doing the ordinary seasonal maintenance that they say is time critical for certain types of grass and will be impossible to take care of later in the season. Seems like if allowing golfers is deemed just to much of a risk it should be possible for a few employees to maintain distancing and perform the maintenance to at least allow courses the potential to open later in the season in appropriate shape.

Just like we (my industry) got "permission to travel" and "permission to get gas" letters we're supposed to keep in our car if things get that bad. BUT, what's wrong with a person (or a family that's living in the same home) simply going for a drive? Roll the windows down, enjoy the wind, the view, etc.

DH got papers, too, but it is illegal for state police to ask for them. Not sure about municipal/city police or sheriff's departments. State police can fine and cite non life-sustaining businesses, but that is about it as far as enforcement goes in PA.That doesn't make any sense to me.

We've had our grass mowed twice already. We have a service do it because we're normally out of town on weekends and I no longer have a mower.I believe I heard that is something else deemed non essential and a no go here. Not 100% certain I'm correct, but I believe that was something I was shaking my head at a couple of days ago.
It's not quite time for mowing to begin here just yet, maybe in a week according to the forecast -- although my husband keeps threatening, which is ironic since he ordinarily hates doing it. I've warned him the neighbors will not be pleased if he starts that party early.
Agreed. Even martial law is not enforceable nationwide. It isn’t as simple as “call a lockdown” everywhere.I think it might take a declaration of martial law in order for documentation to become necessary. Praying we don't have that happen.

Hey, he might get some extra $$$$That's the situation with most of our neighbors. If landscapers are prevented from opening things will get out of control by the end of the month.
Maybe I'll let DH loose on the neighborhood! Many are seniors who are physically unable to do it.

The three public courses here are open. But I wouldn’t describe the activity on them as packed. No one is allowed to go inside the clubhouse, and no one is allowed to use the carts. Walking the course only. That slows the golfers down, so helps to maintain more social distancing. One of the concerns they talked about on the news though is that it was groups of friends getting together to golf, not families who already shared at home together. So, we’ll see how long they stay open.
I don’t think they mowed, just spring clean up. So many use landscapers here that grass would grow out of control (we don’t own a mower, don’t have a garage). But they are allowed.https://www.nj.com/coronavirus/2020/03/murphy-orders-nj-residents-to-stay-home-closes-non-essential-businesses-in-state-lockdown-to-fight-coronavirus.htmlI believe I heard that is something else deemed non essential and a no go here.
