[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] The COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect the situation.

Although there have been no reported cases of COVID-19 infection at domestic golf courses, vigilance cannot be relaxed. If a confirmed case emerges, it could cause tremendous damage. Recently, Golf.com in the United States introduced tips for playing rounds safely. This is a checklist that must be followed during COVID-19. First of all, you must bring a mask. You can encounter not only staff but also other people at the clubhouse, rest areas, and so on.

The mask is the minimum protective measure. Next is preparing water to quench thirst. Keep it in your bag and bring it to the golf course. This is to minimize contact even when drinking water. A small snack is the same. Instead of using the restaurant, it is better to eat bread, snacks, or fruit in the cart. You need enough tees and golf balls. This is not the time to borrow from your companions. Although the caddie bag may be heavy, your mind will feel much lighter.

In foreign countries, electric carts may be in short supply. It is wise to carry a lightweight caddie bag when considering using a push cart. There may be no bunker rakes at each hole on the golf course. You can smooth the sand with the sole of your golf shoes. If you dislike this as well, carry a portable rake. It does not matter if you leave the bunker in poor condition for the group ahead. According to the local rules of the United States Golf Association (USGA), relief is granted in abnormal course conditions.

Even if you are happy to see your companions, handshakes, fist bumps, hugs, and the like are prohibited. Maintain a distance of at least 6 feet (1.8 meters) from others. Be especially careful on the teeing ground and the green. When teeing off, only one person should be on the teeing ground. The same applies to the green. Putt with the flagstick left in place. Although there is disinfectant at the golf course, bring your own personal supply. Disinfectant wipes and towels are also acceptable. Spitting during the round is problematic.
