But should anyone be playing golf?

It is worth noting that playing the sport at all right now continues to be debated.

Medical experts are weighing in.

“We really are pushing for social distancing. It’s the most effective mechanism for slowing down transmission of the infection and hopefully eventually getting the infection under control. However, we still want to encourage exercise and taking care of your physical health as well. We’ve been recommending individual exercising outdoors like walking or running or biking where you can still be outdoors but be alone and be practicing social distancing,” said Jill Weatherhead, an assistant professor of infectious disease at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston.

Others are suggesting even golf should come to a halt as the world battles the coronavirus pandemic.

Central Florida women’s golf coach Emily Marron addressed the concern saying social distancing and staying inside during this unprecedented time are more than civic duties — they’re moral obligations. For everyone.

“How does that exempt us if we’re being asked by the CDC and our government for everybody to just take a break, stay home and only essential business should be going on?” said Marron, who’s been at UCF for eight years. “I just don’t know how that exempts us as a golf community and I can kind of sense people’s frustration with where do you draw the line with that.”
