As part of the COVID-19 Resilience and Recovery Plan 2021 – The Path Ahead, the Government has recently announced changes to the current public health restrictions, including a gradual return to sports.
Sport Ireland, which is the statutory body with responsibility for the development of sport, has been engaging with the National Governing Bodies of Sport (NGBs) in relation to the changes to the Level 5 restrictions and is providing guidance to NGBs as and when required.
The NGB for golf in Ireland, Golf Ireland, has, after engagement with Sport Ireland and the Expert Group on the Return to Sport, published a detailed guidance note on the practical issues arising for the return of golfing activity, which is available at the following website: https://static.clubhouse.golfireland.ie/clubs/1000/uploads/files/club_support/gi_livingwithcovidroi_may10_3.pdf
Golf Ireland can liaise further with Sport Ireland and the Expert Group on any additional queries to be addressed.
