It’s the news Alberta golfers have waited weeks for: as part of its relaunch plan, the province is allowing golf courses to open starting Saturday, May 2.
But the move comes with plenty of new regulations for patrons and staff — and not a lot of notice. Now, like many courses, they’re hastily preparing for a busy weekend.
The National Allied Golf Association of Alberta had already laid out a detailed set of guidelines for social distancing measures prior to the province’s announcement as part of its bid for golf courses to open earlier this month.
According to the new rules, which are also posted on the province’s website, golfers will not be allowed inside clubhouses during the initial relaunch.
