Golf clubs around the country are re-opening this morning with new measures to meet the Government guidelines on how to ease the Covid-19 restrictions.
As golfers get back into the swing of things other sporting communities will be looking to see how golf, as well as tennis and athletics clubs, are re-opening in Phase 1, in preparation for when their time comes.
The first members to tee off at The County Sligo Golf Club, Rosses Point, are among the 20% of the club's members to live within 5 kilometres of the club.
While the course is open the shop, clubhouse, locker rooms, bar and restaurant all remain closed. Golfers must avoid touching the flag stick and must also ensure they have sufficient balls and tees.
