Support for clubs as junior events affected
The coronavirus outbreak has affected Scottish Golf’s calendar of events.
And all grassroots activity that falls under their administration has also been called off with immediate effect, including the Junior GolfSixes Leagues and Girls Golf Hubs.
Scottish Golf’s latest update, provided on Tuesday, read:“This decision has been taken to limit the spread of Covid-19 and to ensure that everyone involved in the game from players to coaches, volunteers and staff are protected from unnecessary contact.
“Scottish Golf will continue to monitor the ongoing situation and will be in direct correspondence with those impacted by today’s decision as our response to the outbreak continues.
“While Scottish Golf has taken this difficult decision, we would also like to highlight that golf is a sport that allows players to exercise outdoors in the fresh air where the risk of contracting Covid-19 is low.
“All golf clubs should aim to keep their members and staff safe and well. We appreciate that this is a very fluid situation and to support all clubs, we have set up a designated section on the Scottish Golf website to ensure our updates are easy to access.”
