As communities start to emerge from COVID-19 shutdowns, so do recreational opportunities.
Carefully.
Golf seems to be a natural for these times, with its built-in social distancing. Still, as courses around the country reopen, there are many new restrictions. Thursday, Massachusetts became the last state to bring back golf, with rules that prohibit caddies and golf carts and requirements that golfers stay in their car until 15 minutes before their tee time and have to return to their car right after they finish the round.
Washington state ended its golf shutdown earlier this week, hoping golfers comply with the new rules, whether they like them or not.
