This has potential.  No crowds, no caddies, just 2 players and some cameramen.  Mic each player so we can hear it all. 

Play by Play and Color can be separate.  Could probably do it from home.  

Players can stand on opposite sides of the tee box and stay off the green until the other guy is done.  

Designate one guy to rake the bunkers and pull all the pins as needed?

I was thinking the same thing.  I love when athletes are miked up.  It's one of my favorite features of the XFL.  I really thing it would get huge ratings as long as it's easily accessible to people.

You could turn it into a weekly event.  Top players who live within a reasonable driving distance pick a course and go play it, heads up.  Side bets allowed. 

Use local cameramen.  No flying and no hotels needed.  Everybody goes home at the end of the day, do it again the following Sunday.   They'd make plenty of money off the TV rights to make this worthwhile for everyone involved.

Hell, the world is so starved for live sports right now, I could probably do this with the top 2 HS players in the area,  go live on FB and make a killing.  

You might be able to make Tennis work too.  No crowds, just 2 players, camera crew and Ump.  They're far enough away.  Could each person be tested beforehand?

Definitely.  The odds makers would get busy right away.

They should test backhand too. 

[Reality 2,710]

Finally got out last Friday, hadn't played a round since September.  Rolling Hills CC, Southern Indiana, tough course, shot 92.  Sadly, that's better than I thought I would play..

I'm not good.  Will probably play again this Friday since I'm off because of Jesus.

[KSB2424 3,082]

Played yesterday.  My local course had the debit card reader sitting outside on a table, a wire running in 10 feet to the golf pro sitting at a table.  Just swipe and he told us to enjoy our round.  One rider per cart or you can walk.  It was perfect, zero human interaction.

I'm a 12 handicap, shot a 40 on the front.  Then a 47 on the back. 

I walked, and am not used to walking, I blame the back nine score on that.  It wasn't I was tired or out of shape per se, but when you walk up a hill dragging your clubs, then people are waiting for you to hit, its weird.  My heart rate was up and I felt rushed.  I am going to have to get used to it.

Totally. Nazis reporting on their neighbors. In the long run I assume the law has no real teeth and charges will be dropped.

Not even a pull cart. Are you a masochist? An exec near me had no carts, so I put 3 balls in my pocket and grabbed 4 clubs. Not lugging that bag around.

Get a walking bag. It isn’t bad at all. Nice little workout and I have the back 9 problem too.

[Cruzer 1,992]

What goes up, must come down - Cruzer took it in da ass 2day. 

Shot 77, but in this game it's team based, 10/20 2-downs... I had 10 bets total. 

I went against a team that had a 68, 70 and 73...and my back end guys sucked to boot... gave back $175 of it.

 

[Cruzer 1,992]

But I'm playing again 2moro.

Nice. Probably the course I’ve played the most now. For the price, it’s the nicest course in the area. And I love the greens.
 

Most birdies I’ve ever had in a round was 5, and it was at Cross Timbers.

It's truly is the best deal in town - a gem of a place to play. 

I caught her with no wind that day, which as you know - NEVER happens.

NY State has added golf courses to non essential that wasnt distinguished before.  So looks like they are closing until the 29th.  At least.  So that blows pretty bad.

Now that the peak is passing?  What a dud Cuomo is. 

[Cruzer 1,992]

Was sunny, 73* here 2day.

We called 11 courses, not a single one had an available t-time - all booked till 5 pm!

10am teetime in VA tomorrow.  First round in 3 weeks, which is my longest stretch this year. MD needs to open courses, it's pretty clear that golf isn't an issue.

Playing at 10am 2day too... Played y-day, and playing 2moro.

Don't know if it's bcoz Texas is so spread out, or bcoz we've only had 29 deaths in Tarrant Co. - but golfers here have are out in full force. 

[drobeski 3,061]

Closed down in retarded commie mass forcing NH to be commie as well. So focking stupid

My course opened up to members walking.  Not sure if this is the case everywhere.  Pleasant suprise.

I carry my bag 3/4 of the time.   So this hasnt been much different anyway other than leaving the pins in.

182 today. Worst round in a while. 1 birdie, a couple of pars and a sh1tshow. Oh well, at least I got out.

Did you get to play all 18? I hope we will have courses open soon. Golf is one of those “gone overboard” things. It can be made safe and it is outdoors with plenty of space.

[Cruzer 1,992]

Another rare no-wind day here 2day.... 73.

I did, a friend of a friend got us out. 

Had to walk, cups were elevated 3/4" above the hole. It is stupid... but its a misery loves company situation.  Non golfing fear mongers would be up in arms if they opened them up. 

Pretty scary authoritarian situation we are in. 

God forbid some people get to have safe fun!

Yup. I was in contact with my buddy all day on Saturday hoping for good news as the rumors were swirling. As of Sunday morning we were still closed. He texted me about 7:30 saying he got the all-clear. We were on the course by 9:30 haha. Taking a half-day and playing again today

 

[dain11279 927]

Also the no-cart and no-clubhouse rules help keep the numbers down of golfers in general and golfers who hung out and had a beer after.
