    Hi Stephen,

    Having recently arrived in Canada, I looked forward to playing after my mandatory 14 day quarantine. Yesterday our island course closed at the recommendation of Golf Canada and the British Columbia health minister.
    This followed the closure of the golf range after someone violated the rules.

    We have to acknowledge that playing golf for now presents to great a heath risk to others.

    Best,

    David

      Thanks for the update, David. Looks like Canada’s rules are even stricter than ours. Probably for the best since the risks are too great to take a chance. This virus can be lethal, and playing golf right now doesn’t seem like a wise thing to do. Hopefully we’ll get this thing under control and get back to some degree of normality.
      Take care, my friend

    Stephen, would you ever be interested in hiring another writer for your blog so that it can grow in keywords and traffic?

    If so, please reach out because I am a very passionate golfer that is looking for work due to being laid off at my current college job due to the virus!

    Thanks!

      Sorry about the layoff, Jacob. This virus has affected society on many levels. I hope unemployment comp can kick in for you. As for hiring you as a writer for my blog, I’ll keep that in mind, but, for now, I haven’t monetized the site so can’t afford to hire anyone to help. If that changes, I’ll consider your suggestion further and be in touch.
      Good luck and all the best to you.
