The impact of COVID-19 has dramatically impacted on all of our lives including our beloved Cro-Am games. There is some good news though with some golf courses reopening after an initial shutdown. What does this mean for us? Well I can advise our next schedule game at Hills International will take place. However, their are a mariah of COVID-19 rules we must abide by. I know that the Police have been visiting golf clubs to ensure social distancing is adhered to and in some cases closing down courses if players are not abiding by the COVID-19 rules. Here is a list of the COVID-19 rules that will apply to us:

1 person per cart
groups of 2 only
no touching the flag (must remain in the hole at all times)
no touching rakes (bunkers may be out of play we will advise on the day)
no alcohol to be taken on the course
players to mark own cards
no socialasing after the game, players will need to leave immediately on completing their round.

I know that some of our members may be hesitant to play under these conditions and environment while others will be itching to play once again. To help us coordinate our next match at Hills International I ask that all reply whether they will be attending or not via the Cro-Am Team App. Your cooperation in responding will be greatly appreciated.

The Cro-Am Committee has carefully considered the impact of Coronavirus COVID-19 and has decided to go ahead with the scheduled match on Sunday at Carbrook.

We have noted that the vast majority of players are prepared to play as per normal. Of course all golfers should exhibit a heightened awareness of personal hygiene and social distancing (a 1.5m seperation) as has been encouraged by State and Federal Health Departments.

Cro-Am Committee recommend:

No hand shaking or touching other players
Wear glove/s when raking bunkers and removing the flag stick (it is not necessary to remove the flag stick)
Strongly consider riding a golf cart alone or walk the course
Use electronic payment options instead of cash
Sanitise your hands regularly
Only touch your own drink/glass.

By implementing the above measures we will be able to stop the spread of Coronavirus COVID-19. Your co-operation in this matter is a social responsibility and is greatly appreciated by the Cro-Am Committee.
