SCOTLAND MOVE TO LEVEL 3 ON MONDAY 26th APRIL
Following this week's announcement by the First Minister, Scottish Golf welcomes confirmation that mainland Scotland will be entering Level 3 on Monday 26th April.
We have received final approval from our partners at sportscotland and the Scottish Government on our updated guidance which is available here.
Our updated guidance means that from Monday 26th April, the following changes will take place:
- Adults living in Level 3 or Level 4 areas may leave their local authority area to participate in informal exercise and organised sport that starts and finishes in the same place.
- Clubhouse facilities may open.
- All indoor hospitality may operate until 20.00, allowing 6 people from 2 households to meet. No alcohol is permitted.
- All outdoor hospitality may resume. Groups may consist of up to 6 people from 6 households. Alcohol may be served, and licensing times apply.
Clubs should note that the Scottish Government has issued updated guidance, available here, with additional precautions for hospitality venues. The guidance highlights that hospitality venues should gather contact details for all their customers – not just for the lead member of each group.
We know that 26th April is a date that will have been circled in the diaries of both golf clubs and golfers across Scotland for some time now, and we are delighted that we can continue to make progress out of lockdown. We would remind everyone to continue to follow the latest guidance and take the required precautions to ensure we can continue to benefit from these new relaxations.
Please note that detail for all other levels remains indicative at this stage and could be subject to further relaxation or change. You can continue to keep up to date on all the latest COVID-19 updates on our dedicated webpage here.
Kind regards,
Karin Sharp, Chief Operating Officer, Scottish Golf.
