When the weather cooperates, recreational golf is being played. But leagues and tournaments have been put on hold until May 1 because of a broad COVID-19 ban on "recreational sports tournaments" and "organized recreational sports leagues". Should golf be included in the Governor's order? Should any outdoor sport?

DEAR GOVERNOR: GOLF LEAGUES, TOURNAMENTS SHOULD PLAY ON MAY 1

2019 USGA Four-Ball Cleveland Qualifier at Sand Ridge
Golf courses are more than capable of safely operating weekly golf leagues and scheduled golf tournaments following common-sense guidelines starting on May 1. In fact, the operational plan is already proven, and it's a recreational and mental benefit with a near-zero physical cost. READ WHY & CONTACT THE GOVERNOR >

GIVE THE GOV A NUDGE

The Governor has a big decision in front of him in the next two weeks about restarting business in Ohio. Golf is just a small part of that, but it's important, too. So let him know that golfers and golf course owners are more than happy to help lead the way. Three ways to contact Gov. Mike DeWine (Twitter, Facebook and email) are posted for at the end of the "Open May 1" story.
