TIME TO TEE OFF With lockdown restrictions easing local golf courses have been able to allow members back on the green for the first time in months... and just in time for the glorious spring weather!

The COVID-19 lockdown has been hard on us all, so it has been a great relief for sport lovers and golfers to be back out in the fresh air, safely enjoying some exercise with friends and family. With the next phase of coming out of lockdown just around the corner, it won’t be long until the golf clubs across Northern Ireland can open up their facilities completely to allow people to enjoy a meal in the club restaurants.

GIVE GOLF A GO:

Our top reasons for playing golf - Social: Golf is a great social sport, which you can play alongside friends and chat as you play – not to mention popping into the club afterwards for lunch or a drink to make a day of it. - Fresh Air: Getting out to play golf allows you to be out in the fresh air, which is a great way to reduce stress and boost your immune system. - Scenery: We are very lucky in Northern Ireland to have some of the best golf courses in the world for their scenery. While you exercise you can take in the stunning views of the coast or the countryside. - Brain power: Golf not only requires focus and concentration, but also a bit of maths is involved for working out scores. This is a great way to keep your brain in tip top condition.

A WARM WELCOME BACK TO THE COURSE

Ulster Tatler speaks to General Manager of Dunmurry Golf Club, Colin Adair. “We were delighted to welcome our Members back on 1st April, the good weather has enabled a lot of golf to be played since our return and it is great to see so many smiling faces.

Our members have been very understanding in respect of the strict protocols under which we must operate to ensure safety for all. We are very much looking forward to entering in to Step 3 of The Recovery Plan when we hope to be able to open our hospitality side of the club.”
