SCOTTISH GOLF COVID-19 UPDATE - 23 APRIL 2021

Scottish Golf has issued a COVID-19 update in response to the COVID-19 briefing given by the First Minister of Scotland on Tuesday 20 April.

The statement issued by Scottish Golf reads as follows:

"Following this week's announcement by the First Minister, Scottish Golf welcomes confirmation that mainland Scotland will be entering Level 3 on Monday 26th April."

"We have received final approval from our partners at sportscotland and the Scottish Government on our updated guidance which is available here."

"Our updated guidance means that from Monday 26th April, the following changes will take place:"

• "Adults living in Level 3 or Level 4 areas may leave their local authority area to participate in informal exercise and organised sport that starts and finishes in the same place."

• "Clubhouse facilities may open."

• "All indoor hospitality may operate until 20.00, allowing 6 people from 2 households to meet. No alcohol is permitted."

• "All outdoor hospitality may resume. Groups may consist of up to 6 people from 6 households. Alcohol may be served, and licensing times apply."

"Clubs should note that the Scottish Government has issued updated guidance, available here, with additional precautions for hospitality venues. The guidance highlights that hospitality venues should gather contact details for all their customers – not just for the lead member of each group."

"We know that 26th April is a date that will have been circled in the diaries of both golf clubs and golfers across Scotland for some time now, and we are delighted that we can continue to make progress out of lockdown. We would remind everyone to continue to follow the latest guidance and take the required precautions to ensure we can continue to benefit from these new relaxations."

"Please note that detail for all other levels remains indicative at this stage and could be subject to further relaxation or change. You can continue to keep up to date on all the latest COVID-19 updates on our dedicated webpage here."

SCOTTISH GOLF COVID-19 UPDATE - 14 APRIL 2021

Scottish Golf has issued a COVID-19 update in response to the COVID-19 briefing given by the First Minister of Scotland yesterday.

The statement issued by Scottish Golf reads as follows:

"Following the First Minister’s latest update, Scottish Golf welcomes the news that the early easing of some lockdown restrictions will now take place from Friday 16th April."

"We have received final approval from our partners at sportscotland and the Scottish Government on our updated guidance which is available here."

"Our updated guidance means that from Friday 16th April, the following changes will take place:"

• "Adults living in Level 3 or Level 4 areas may leave their local authority area to participate in informal exercise that starts and finishes in the same place."

• "Groups can consist of up to 4 golfers from within Scotland, with no restrictions on number of households."

"Golf continues to benefit from being classified as informal exercise by the Scottish Government and we recognise that this is a privileged position in comparison to some other sports at this time. This means that players from outwith the club’s local authority area can now travel to participate in a casual game of golf. However, where cross-border travel is required, competitive play will not be permitted at this time. We anticipate that from the 26th April, subject to further announcements, this restriction will also be lifted."

"This announcement is welcome news for the golfing community. We know many golf clubs and golfers have endured significant sacrifices during the recent lockdown, but we hope that today’s update will provide an opportunity for more people to get back out on the golf course and enjoy the physical and mental health benefits that a round can provide. We thank you again for your understanding and, as the lighter nights and better weather return, we hope you enjoy being able to meet up with friends and family for a game."
