Golfers turned out in large numbers to honour those on the front-lines of the battle against corona-virus at a two-day Delhi Golf Club event last week.

How to get people outdoors and involved in a good cause at the same time was a poser for the Delhi Golf Club. Hold an event to honour corona-warriors, was the answer.

Thanks to the corona-virus pandemic and its fallout, it was a full 107 days between visits to a golf course, and what a pleasure it was to return to the fairways and greens.

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.

A young woman professional golfer and her lawyer compatriot have petitioned the sports ministry seeking an early re-opening of golf courses around the country.

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.
