Professional sport around the world is tip-toeing back to life but at every stage the threat from the Covid-19 virus is a real and active one.

Golf continued to free itself of the suffocating coils imposed by the nationwide Covid-19 lockdown with courses and clubs across the country either already in action, or re-opening soon.

With the extended Covid-19 lockdown nearing its end, golf clubs and courses around the country are gearing up to play safe hosts for returning players.

British prime minister Boris Johnson’s announcement on Sunday that golf courses in England were likely to open in the next 48 hours will create a fair degree of expectation in India as well.

The day when golfers across India can venture back out on to courses is some distance away, but there are faint glimmerings of hope from the neighbourhood, if not the rest of the world.

When things dear to you do get taken away, the pangs are hard to bear. So it has been for golfers in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Well, it’s now official. Corona-virus has ensured large parts of the country have been sealed off with immediate effect in an effort to halt the ever-growing spread of the pandemic.

Covid-19 continues to not just throttle daily life around the world but also add steadily to the mortality count, making it the most existential threat many of us have ever faced.

Restrictions are in place across almost every golf course, as much in India as around the world in the wake of the ever-growing spread of COVID-19, the Corona-virus.
