Golf Sask Update

Some great news to start the weekend. Regarding Golf next weekend. This just in from Golf Sask.
 
May 8, 2020
Good afternoon member clubs,
 
The Government of Saskatchewan has worked extensively with the National Allied Golf Association – Saskatchewan branch when it comes to playing golf in a safe manner amid COVID-19.
 
Golf in Saskatchewan was announced in the “Re-Open Saskatchewan” plan back in March with restrictions. The government has made alterations to the rules last Friday and released additional updates this afternoon.
 
Re-Open Saskatchewan (updated May 8) with golf specifics on P.42-43
• A maximum of four players per group is permitted.
• Tee times must be a minimum of 12 minutes apart to avoid congestion on the course.
• Flags must remain in place and measures must be taken to prevent the ball from dropping in the hole, eliminating the need for players to contact the pin or cup. This may include such measures as leveling the cup, elevating the cup or installing a touch-free ball removal mechanism.
• Driving ranges and practice putting/chipping greens can open if physical distancing (minimum of two metres) is maintained. Range balls must be cleaned and disinfected between customers. For the practice putting/chipping greens, flags must remain in place and measures must be taken to prevent the ball from dropping in the hole. This may include such measures as leveling the cup, elevating the cup or installing a touch-free ball removal mechanism.
• Retail sales must follow the Clothing and Retail Guidelines on P. 35.
• Group lessons and tournaments are prohibited. League play and one-on-one lessons may occur if all other criteria are met.
More details can be found in the government’s announcement today, by clicking here.
 
Golf Saskatchewan, along with the Canadian Society of Club Managers Saskatchewan Branch, National Golf Course Owners Association Canada, Professional Golfers Association of Canada Saskatchewan Branch, and Saskatchewan Turf-grass Association want to thank the Province of Saskatchewan for their cooperation through the COVID-19 pandemic.
• Updated statement from the NAGA Saskatchewan
Finally, please ensure your club has updated its policies and communicated the changes with owners, management, staff, members and golfing patrons to ensure everyone’s health and safety remains as the top priority.
 
Until May 15, please practice social distancing, be kind, stay safe, book your tee times, purchase your yearly membership and support your local businesses.
 
Have a great weekend!
 
Yours in golf,
 
Golf Saskatchewan

Conserving water

Conservation of water:
You will notice water trucks coming in to the park Sask. Water will now be hauling water to our facility due to the Gravelbourg plant unable to treat enough water for us. Sask water will be sourcing our water from other plants. So again please be cautious on the amount of water you use.
