Golf and Covid-19: Can Courses Open Safely? Ideas from Pro Bob Cahill

Golf courses in Minnesota are currently closed due to concerns related to Covid-19. But golf associations and pros like Bob Cahill are working together to plan how they might open safely and give golfers the option to get outside and play their sport. There is still a foot of snow on the city-owned Pokegama Golf Course in Grand Rapids, so it isn’t time to open yet! Northern Community Radio’s John Bauer, himself an avid golfer, talked with “Bogey” Bob about the possibilities.
