Golf courses in England are preparing to reopen from Wednesday, following Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s address to the nation.
New guidelines mean golfers will be allowed to play – on their own or with one member of their own household.
There is no change to the current position in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales and so golf courses in these countries must remain closed for now.
“Golf clubs and golfers have observed the lockdown very well and must keep it up and act responsibly as play resumes,” said a statement from the England Golf Union.
Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden said on Twitter: “In tentative steps and in the least risky outdoor environments, we can imminently allow some sports activity like golf, basketball, tennis, fishing – solo/in households. Guidance to follow.”
