On\nthe 13th<\/sup> March 2020 Spain entered a full lockdown as residents were\ninstructed to stay in their homes to restrict and prevent the rapid spread of\nthis killer virus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In\naccordance with these instructions, other than for essentials shops, businesses\nand open spaces such as gardens were instantly closed and this instruction\nincluded ALL local golf courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Just\na few days ago this period of self isolation was extended to at least the 11th<\/sup>\nApril 2020 by the Spanish authorities and will then be reviewed again depending\non any continued spread of the virus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All\nof our golf courses are allowed to maintain a skeleton staff to maintain the\ncourses and more particularly the greens so ensure that they remain in a good\ncondition for when they do re-open to the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As\nwe all know in late May and early June each year the courses hollow tine their\ngreens and some courses (Bonalba,Font De Llop and Vistabella) have conducted\nthis work during this enforced closure to prevent further disruptions after the\ncourses re-open which makes sense and perhaps a number of other courses will\nfollow suit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The\nregions was once again hit by torrential rain the last week and again the Mar\nMenor region was badly affected but as yet we have no reports from the courses\nregarding any damage that may have been\ndone but will keep you updated accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Until\nthen all stay safe and healthy in the coming weeks and months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
