UPDATE ON SCOTTISH GOLF'S GUIDANCE FOR PHASE 2

Travel restrictions for Scottish Golfers are lifted today, but face coverings must be worn in Pro-shops next week and Opens are still off-limits.


In response to the statement made by Scotland's First Minister yesterday, Scottish Golf has updated its Phase 2 Guidance for Golf Clubs and Golfers. The principal changes as follows:

From Friday 3 July:
"Travel restrictions are now lifted (with exception of Annan, Gretna, Dumfries, Langholm and Canonbie, where 5-mile guidance remains in place). Toilet facilities can re-open subject to the implementation of appropriate hygiene routines."

From Monday 6 July:
"Outdoor hospitality can recommence subject to maintaining physical distancing and appropriate hygiene routines."

From Friday 10 July:
"Face coverings must be worn when entering professional shops."

Open competitions, Elite Amateur or Professional events:
"At present, it is not currently envisaged that these type of events will return for some time yet... we ask all of our member clubs and tournament organisers utilising facilities affiliated to Scottish Golf, to adhere to this mandatory regulation on competitive golf by ensuring that they are not operating any competitive events which allow non-members of the club to take part."

Re-opening of indoor hospitality venues:
"At this time it is our understanding that a target date of 15 July remains. As with all of Scottish Golf’s guidance, this is subject to change and will require final sign off from Government. This will not happen until nearer the time and we will continue to keep our clubs updated as and when we have further information available on this aspect."
