I do miss the handshake on 18.  Our deal now is we touch putter heads after the round.  I still remove my cap/hat when doing so.  

Not a fan of this. I’m not going to mess up the finish on my putter for not good reason.

I’ve been doing the elbow bump, air fist bump, or tipping my hat at people after a round.

Yes!  I did this in the last few in-person meetings I had back in March and I didn't know why others were doing it, but I followed along.  I knew the reference, I just didn't know what the health thing going on was that caused it.  I hope this trend continues even after the pandemic.

It’s just me and my husband on the weekend rounds. I played a few times with friends and we just waved goodbyes. No one is touching anything or getting within 6 feet of each other.

I started with that, but now I pretty much extend my middle finger and raise it into the air.

In Legion baseball they tip caps to each other after the game instead of handshakes.  That can work for golf too.

Bumping the grip ends of the putter avoids this problem.
