What the petition asks
Allow people to play golf during the lockdown period
Golf is an OUTDOOR, non-contact sport. You use your own ball. You use your own clubs. You can socially distance on a golf course. You can play on your own. You can play with someone from your household. You are in fresh air and do not need to mix with other people. It is ludicrous that you can go and sit on a park bench, which someone else will sit on after you and potentially spread the virus, but you can’t walk round a golf course on your own or with someone from your house. Please change this
