The COVID-19 situation continues to evolve and due to the risks associated with an increasing number of venues and transmissions which have occurred, the strict stay-at-home order has been extended to ALL of Greater Sydney, the Blue Mountains, the Central Coast, Wollongong and Shellharbour.
From 5pm Friday, July 9 2021, until 11.59pm Friday, July 16 2021, people will only be able to leave home for one of the following four reasons:
- Shopping for food or other essential goods and services
- Medical care or compassionate needs
- Exercise outdoors in groups of a maximum of two (unless players are from the same household)
- Essential work, or education, where you cannot work or study from home
While clubhouse operations in the aforementioned areas must be closed for normal business (except takeaway), Golf NSW has been advised that golf is considered exercise and can continue if your club has and complies with its COVID-19 Safety Plan.
(NOTE: GOLF NSW EXPECTS AN UPDATE PUBLIC HEALTH ORDER TO BE ISSUED TONIGHT, July 9 2021)
Golfers should exhibit a heightened awareness of personal hygiene and adhere to social distancing guidelines at all times.
Golfers should keep an eye on golfnsw.org.au for the latest advice.
