Review opening golf courses with controlled measures of social distancing

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

Following the government's decision to open parks I cannot understand how this is safer than opening golf courses where you can easily practice social distance
If this is carried out responsibly I can see that this will be safer than even tour decisions to open public parks where the public can be not monitored and irresponsible.

Why it was rejected

The UK Government or Parliament was already taking the action it asked for.

Since you started your petition the Government has announced that golf courses in England can re-open.
