Listing postponed projects might be interesting, too. Although, I'd rather not talk about it  :'(

Late May trip to Scottsdale in definite jeopardy.  We can wait to decide, but I'd make it well less than 50-50.
Lots of CGA four ball senior tournaments that I was signed up for are out, of course. 

I remind myself that these are first world problems; it's the hourly folks and the food and beverage folks at the courses who are really going to suffer.  Golf needs me at this moment much, much more than I need golf.

Had a week's stay at the Fairmont in St. Andrews booked for next month. Will be looking forward to it more than ever when this subsides.

Masters trip canceled (with 3 days of golf)...Aiken Golf Club not giving refunds for Master week tee times (if canceled after March 15th).


Golf trip to San Francisco canceled mid April.


Would have been a fun month.....

Holidays are tournaments for me. My events canceled or postponed so far:


Commuters at Corica Park (canceled)
Southern California Mid-Am at Mission Viejo CC (postponed)
US Open Local at The Preserve (???)


More to come I'm sure—next would be NCGA Four-Ball at Spyglass. Hoping California Amateur at Torrey Pines can still be played.

A long weekend on the Palm Coast the first week of June now looks likely to be canceled.   Glad I haven't yet booked that flight.

More just missing my regular rounds with friends now that PA has shut down all businesses not involved in "life-sustaining" activities.  "Life enhancing" activities like golf courses didn't make the cut.

Luckily I went to Scottsdale two weeks ago.


Trip to Bandon in April is postponed.


Trip to Sand Valley in late May looks iffy.


Pine Valley trip up in the air.


The economic impact on the travel and golf industry is immense.

My first Masters, with Aiken booked. (We cancelled in time even though they tried to talk us out of it.)


Still hoping we can salvage issue 2 of Catalogue 18 ... everything can be transmitted digitally as long as the printer can still get ink and paper and the international postal systems keep operating. Might be just the right moment for a book of gorgeous course photos.

A.G. makes a great point. And it is not just the people who work at the courses. We have a return trip to Scotland this summer where we are/were looking forward to staying at the same B&B and seeing the same taxi operators as last year plus some of the same bars and restaurants. Fingers crossed that late June/early July will be okay...for us, but more importantly for the folks who rely on our visits.

It seems that there's actually a way to salvage those summer/fall holidays for a few of us: bring out the hammer now.

I had a trip to St Andrews for the end of April cancelled.


Are the Aiken and Palmetto Masters week tee times transferrable? If so offer them for resale and you will get some return on your payment.

Palmetto was gracious enough to have me back the following year in the Fall after a Masters week rainout.

Forget your trips being canceled, this is quite possibly the end of golf as we know it.

How is that? I do like the possibility of ending unaccompanied rounds. And the thought of supporting your local private club. Does anyone really live where they need to fly to play golf?
