Pitch & Putt

We have been fortunate that with the easing of restrictions some weeks ago it has been possible to enjoy plenty of golf whilst obeying the Covid distancing rules. We have a regular attendance of around ten members. Playing on the official dates of first and third days of the month on hot sunny days on a course that is so hard and dry that the ball runs forever, has been most enjoyable. Additionally, Members have met informally on other Mondays, again maintaining the distancing rules for outdoor activities.

What an asset to maintaining good health and physical fitness in the company of good friends golf is.
Mind you, the course has never been so busy and at times it has taken quite a long time to complete a round. Dunton Hills par three course is 2400 yards long from tees to greens. This can be increased by at least 20% for the diversion from side to side caused by the frequent failure to hit the golf ball in a straight line. Then there is the walk to and from the car park and from the greens to the next tee. This comes to a total of at least two miles. Add pulling a loaded golf trolley and hitting the ball 80 times and practice swings it comes to a considerable amount of exercise. Think what a help this must be to the NHS.

The new Covid rules continue to permit golf as an outdoor activity provided the distancing and other special rules relating to golf are observed. A copy of these can be obtained from your Group Leader if your memory needs refreshing. So, we look forward to a few weeks more of golf until the Winter intervenes. There is room for new Members.

See you soon, take care and remain safe.
