CORONAVIRUS COVID-19
The Golfing Union of Ireland, Irish Ladies Golf Union and the Confederation of Golf in Ireland ask that all golf clubs note, act upon and continually monitor the advice and guidance issued by the Health Service Executive (Republic of Ireland) and the National Health Service (Northern Ireland) in relation to the current coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.
People will be aware of the period of restriction announced by Taoiseach Leo Varadkar in respect of the COVID-19 pandemic. Following on from this the GUI \ ILGU issued a joint statement which came into effect at 6.00 p.m. on 12 th March and which can be viewed on https://www.golfnet.ie/news/golfnet/4622/statement-on-covid-19-from-gui-and-ilgu.
The restrictions (until Sunday 29th March) do not prevent club competitions or casual rounds of golf taking place, however we need to be cognisant of the social nature of our game and how this element of it is impacted. Golf is a great sport for people generally to get out and about, exercise and enjoy fresh air. It is played in an outdoor setting where the risk of contracting COVID-19 is low.
We will act upon and continually monitor the advice and guidance issued by the Health Service Executive (Republic of Ireland) and the National Health Service and Public Health (Northern Ireland) in relation to the current coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. It is important that we all work together, following the advice of experts, in controlling the spread of COVID-19 infection. Be sensible and stay safe. HSE: www.hse.ie
