I don't think the US model will be the basis for club policy. The provincial governments have asked governing bodies to draft risk minimizing proposals on golf protocols so that when the decision is made, a new standard is required. WE can likely look at BC courses with restrictions such as:
-no range or putting green open
-increased spacing between tee times
-reduction in groups
-can't arrive at course more than 20 minutes before tee time (that one is a little tougher and would require a greeter to enforce)
I think its very doable and albeit my opinion is biased, but its seems a round of golf is much safer than a trip to the grocery store. People will just need to be patient and adjust expectations.

Just back from Florida and like the man from Arizona said it was pretty good. The big thing I think to stop crowding here would be tee time spacing. The bottlenecks at par 3's can't happen. This may be a hard thing to do with courses understandably eager to make money.
They allowed two to a cart if you were family and I heard of some courses saying if you came in the same car then you could ride together.
foam rings in cups
no rakes
no ball washers
And don't be nice and pick up a guy's golf ball to hand it to him. I had to tell 3 or 4 people politely not to.
i also curbed my natural inclination to pick up lost golf balls. unless it was a Pro V1 then I wiped it down with clorox wipes!

So will 2-some teeing up at every 5 minutes work ?
As far getting covid-19 on the course, I would worry about getting ticks and Lyme disease more.

New Brunswick has officially opened golf courses immediately but with the usual restrictions like we have been talking about,no bar or restaurant..this might expand to the rest of Canada

As much as i love golf, i am also waiting for fishing season to start. I dont think any of us will ever take the things we love to do for granted. This has been a humbling experience and out of our control. Wishing everyone a safe and healthy season.

Not to say it is correct but Golf In Florida never ended. My Florida buddies are playing 5 days a week. No club house, no rakes in traps, no ball washers, not supposed to handle the flag, distancing, those riding it is one per cart, Pro shop doors permanently open, tree peeing encouraged to keep folks out of the washrooms. Just saying and buddy Paul had a hole in one this week. Reported that few folks at the course.
