Yes, thank you. Their peak may have been lower with lockdowns, however, it still came in much lower than the models predicted.
-
I don't think anyone can explain much of what is happening. The case curve looks similar between places that locked down and those that didn't, so perhaps lockdowns weren't as effective as they'd thought. I don't know.

Sweden never locked down and their deaths are plummeting.

Same. I'd have to renew my cable subscription for $60 a month just to see this. Not worth it. -
Same. My brother and I played and we were sure that some putts that grazed the raised cup would not have gone in, but there's really no way to know for sure. Feel like our scores have a * for the time being.

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.

Monroe County. Apparently the county prosecutor told businesses he would not prosecute for violations of the governor's order, so many are not following the state orders.

According to this article, 50% of surveyed tour players are only willing to play if comprehensive testing is in place. I wonder how likely this is by June 11? Majority of PGA Tour pros need coronavirus testing in place at every event to return to competition, according to Golf Digest survey - Golf Digest Golf Digest asked 35 PGA Tour pros their feelings on the pending re-start to the tour season and what reassurances they needed, if any, to return to competition

Any official date set for this thing yet? It's been awfully quiet. I wonder if it'll even happen.

I played four times in the last week. This WFH thing is great. Anyway, yesterday was the first day they were allowing carts out. The state FAQ does not allow carts, but the county prosecutor interpreted that to be invalid and allowed courses in the county to go ahead with carts so long as they are only shared by members of the same household. The cups were still raised and all ball washers, etc were out of service. The experience is completely different based on county. The course I played Friday had no flagsticks, and you paid by dropping money into a drop box. The one I played last week was fully open (clubhouse, flagsticks, regular cups, etc.) but no carts.

46-47=93 at Carrington GC in Monroe, MI yesterday. Two water balls on the Par 5 13th dashed my hopes of breaking 90. They allowed carts for the first time yesterday. Still surreal to play with the restrictions.

Yes, it has impacted my golf as the courses in MI are closed. Though I walked by the local pasture course today and there were about 7 or 8 cars in the parking lot. I think people are just letting themselves on and playing.
-
That was my first thought. They fret over every detail but they have address labels from Office Depot slapped on hangers for the green jackets???

I took the weekend to get my basement organized after a flood last year left it a mess. Now I've got my golf net set up down there and I started taking full swings. Gonna be a nice reprieve from the cabin fever to go hit a few shots. I've never seen more people taking walks in my neighborhood, ever.

We all thought he was back to his old self after the Masters, ZoZo, President's Cup success last year. However, Tiger always tried to lower the expectations by saying he was simply grateful to be playing competitive golf again. I think of all of this as "bonus" time for Tiger. If we see him play well and win again, it'll be a real treat. If not, what a ride it has been.

The European Tour is definitely more innovative than the PGA Tour, and they are willing to try new things to spruce up otherwise boring events that don't attract a good field. I give them credit for trying to add interest. I don't see a problem with using two courses. The PGA Tour is using three courses this week at Pebble Beach. I am intrigued to see men and women play the same course on the same day with same pin positions, etc. Maybe just a novelty, but I don't hate it. And it could help the economics of otherwise small events. Maybe.

The European Tour, the Ladies European Tour, and the LPGA will be playing a combined event this week in Australia. Men and women playing the same course at the same time for equal prize money. Bold below is my highlight. 2020 ISPS Handa Vic Open Pioneers New Thinking | LPGA | Ladies Professional Golf Association When the Women’s Victoria Open returned to Australian Ladies Professional Golf in 2012 after a 20-year absence, it was with a twist that gave competit...

I thought the same. I have never been so engrossed in a movie from beginning to end.
