At Supreme Golf, we want to provide golfers with the most up-to-date information and make sure we prioritize our golfers’ safety as we navigate this global pandemic together. Golf might be a good escape to relax during these uncertain times and can be done safely.
With that being said, we wanted to provide information on course closures per the National Golf Foundation and tips from medical professionals on how to practice proper social distancing while out on the course, should you golfing.
According to the National Golf Foundation, 12 states have a state shelter in place implemented, thus temporarily closing courses. As of 3/31, those states are: Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, Pennslyvania, Vermont, Washington, and Wisconsin.
