Recreational golfers can return to the favorite golf courses in the state of Washington in eight days.
Jay Inslee, the governor of Washington, on Monday announced a return of outdoor activities in the state on Tuesday, May 8, according to the Associated Press.
It’s considered a partial resumption of activities but in addition to golf, fishing and hunting as well as the use of state parks for day trips will be allowed by residents.
Inslee said that the Golf Alliance of Washington has established several new rules, such as spaced out tee times and golfers can only go out as foursomes if all four live in the same house; otherwise, golfers will be sent out in twosomes. But the governor also said that he will pull back on outdoor activities once again should the state see any increase in coronavirus infections.
The current stay-at-home order, which went into place on March 23, bars public gatherings and events, team sports and camping.
