Alberta golf courses should receive an exemption from mandated business closures
Alberta golf courses should receive an exemption from mandated business closures
Why this petition matters
Covid-19 has changed our way of life with nice weather just around the corner everyone will be asking what is essential and what is non-essential. Activities, where people are in close contact, is obviously dangerous. Golf however already takes social distancing into account. People are separated by 10-15 mins. In fact, the flow of individuals is more regulated at a golf course then people self-regulating in a grocery store.
A golf course can easily take payments online or over the phone, they can easily manage the execution of tee-offs, remotely. Closing beverage services, pro-shops, and restaurants would be a small price to pay for an industry that could be decimated by this pandemic.
There are very few activities we can do during this pandemic, golf happens to be one that is safe and manageable.
