These remain extremely difficult and unprecedented times for the game of golf as well as the country in general.
England Golf remains committed to helping our golfing community adapt to the necessary changes and for golfers to continue to play the game in a safe environment and according to government and public health guidelines.
The pace of change and the constant updating of government and medical advice means that a continual process of re-assessment of decisions and guidelines must be undertaken.
England Golf will continue to communicate any changes through our website, social platforms and via direct correspondence to our affiliated counties, clubs and golfers.
It is vital that everyone continues to follow best practice when it comes to dealing with the current outbreak of coronavirus.
