Atlanta foolishness

Video from Georgia's first open days... social distancing out the window.

I think people are done with social distancing for the most part. I was afraid this would happen given how stringent they have been with shutting things down.

The believers fully understand the curse of the cooties.  The others, if I can't see it, it ain't there.

I don't see that at all. I see people wearing masks, staying away from others, waiting well apart in lines, etc.

Maybe that's one of the reasons why Erie has done relatively well, though.

I see both. There are people wearing masks and distancing, but most still are not. I was in the dentist office yesterday (finally) and was the only one wearing a mask in the waiting room. My father-in-law told a lady to back the eff off in line at the grocery. She was standing right behind him with no mask.

It probably didn't help when they initially came out as said that masks were not effective to stop this.

I don't understand the states that have waited until now to say this. PA said it… by the end of March? Or early April at the latest.

That seems so long ago, and yet it's < 2 months since this all started (March 13 here in PA).

Don’t know. Trying to be optimistic?

At the grocery store last week it was about 50/50 with masks. Many people acting as if nothing was up at all. My neighbors have been having play dates. But other than that, I have seen people keeping their distance. Went to get ice cream over the weekend and everyone was waiting six feet apart, though few were wearing masks. 

My neighborhood threw a "social distance block party" with a DJ, etc. People were supposed to set up chairs six feet apart but I witnessed several people chatting in groups much closer than six feet. It seems once in a social situation the boundaries break down quickly.

Shouldn’t you be out at a course somewhere? 😉

Yep.  Hitting the range in 10 minutes.  Back later to play a round.

What about you?  BTW, enjoy that margarita from COA today.  Happy Cinco de Mayo!

I suspect some of the thinking is the ol', "It only happens to other people... I'm fine."

I don’t know, probably won’t have time to play. But I might wonder around padden, maybe hit a few balls.

 I get people are fed up of isolation and need to get back to gainful employment and forget about masks and gloves for a moment but is it really that hard to keep a little distance? 

Yeah, time to bet on herd immunity.

More and more people seem to be wearing masks now.  But there are always some that will ignore whatever the experts or the leaders say.

I wear a mask to the grocery store... and a different mask when I'm holding up a convenience store.  But I'm not going to wear a mask on the golf course... but I will be observing 10 feet social distancing.

I still wear a mask even when I am golfing.  Just for the others sake.  

On some courses, I see more people wearing masks, whereas on other courses, I may be the only few that do.

Interesting.

I’ve played over 20 rounds in the last 5 weeks, with our courses pretty jammed these  days.  I’ve never seen anyone wearing a mask on the course.

I’ve only been out twice. I’ve seen people walking up from the parking lot with masks on and waiting to tee off, but once they’re on the course they take them off.

It’s not hard to maintain distance on the course. The closest I got to another person is when we finished the round. The first round we did an elbow bump and the second we clinked our putters.

    • Day 9 - 2024-10-09 Backswing work before lessons today. Vertical, cupped.
    • Sitting at home this evening, I feel good about my game. As with all of my golf seasons, this one has been a roller coaster, but the high points certainly have made up for my failures and bad times this year. I hope I can keep my hot streak going. If it ends, at least I know there will be a new streak not too far off.
    • Yeah I know. It sucks to have an idea then have thorough explanations to why one disagrees with it. It’s much more fun to just have people agree and say, ‘ Great Scott my boy! You’ve really uncovered something here!’ 😀
    • Wow it's really awesome to see how many courses you all have played. I am jealous! I've only played 7 courses.
    • Broke my record today and it felt great. Front nine I was 8 over, then on back nine I was only 4 over until the 18th hole. I think I let it get to my head as it was an easy par 3 and I ended up sending the ball into the lake and got my first triple bogey of the day haha. Typical. Nonetheless I can't complain, mostly pars and bogeys all day. Ended with an 83.
