Is there a vaccination policy for this event?
My second shot was March 24. I request all participants state their vaccination status.
At first, I thought this was some attempt at dry humor.
LOL...you are requesting participants to state their vaccination status, who the hell are you? What if they have not been vaccinated yet or choose not to? Does that mean they will be excluded, or ostracized, or ridiculed? Will they have to wear some type of emblem? Will they have to add 5 strokes to their score as a punishment? Being the 20 hcp I am, that would sure be cruel! What about folks that have had the virus, and have antibodies? You may not realize this, but the body does a pretty good job of protecting itself going forward once it has been exposed to a pathogen. This is Bio 101 my friend! What about people that have pre-existing conditions and they have been advised not to take the shot, where do they stand? While we are at it, why don't we request that every participant submit a complete health history? How about submitting every participant to a genital inspection, STDs are very worrisone, who would want one of those?
I was at a golf outing last week at a bucket list course. The course finally opened up to guests, and we had a blast. No one wore a mask, none of the staff wore a mask, and not once did anyone bring up the virus. Not once, we were too busy enjoying the day and the comraderie. Saw a few friends I have not seen in years, the last thing we cared about was the virus. I am running a golf outing on August 1 at a top local venue, we filled up 32 spots in three days and have a waiting list. No one asked about the virus, and no one cares about vaccination status. It is none of my business what decisions people make in their lives and I am sure not going to use a golf outing as a platform to try and convince anyone of anything. This is a free country, there is a segment of self appointed Corona Nazi's that seem to have forgotten that. If you are afraid or feel compelled to judge others who make personal medical decisions that are none of anyone's business, just stay home. Be misireable and anxious, make others misireable, just stay the hell home. It is really that simple. I want to add, I am not for the vaccine, I am not against it. I am against neurotic busy bodies that judge others for medical decisions they make. Taking the vaccine might be the most intelligent decision people make, and good for them, or it might be the worst decision people make, and my prayers go to them if this is the case. Bottom line is you can act on faith, believe everything you are told, and that is perfectly ok. Or...you can question, be cynical, and distrust what others say, that is perfectly ok too. God gave us all a brain, none of us has the right to tell others how to use it. Interesting, the way this pandemic has created a lot of blow hard know it alls who think they have been annointed to judge others. Really no right or wrong, only time will tell us who is right and who was wrong.
Anyway, all the best to you and actually all of you. Hope you have a great golf outing at this wonderful course. God bless all here!
