24 FEBRUARY 2021 - KENT GOLF COVID-19 LATEST UPDATE
Following the Government announcement on Monday 22 February 2021 regarding the "roadmap" for easing Covid restrictions, Kent Golf are delighted that playing golf will re-open on 29 March. However, with many Covid restriction still in place for some time Kent Golf have agreed there will be no Kent Golf competitions until 1 June 2021 at the earliest. Regrettably all knockouts have been cancelled for 2021.
Entry dates to those competitions that are scheduled from 1 June 2021 onwards will be opened on a rolling basis to entrants 5 weeks prior to each event. This is to allow Kent Golf to monitor and minimise administration in the event of further Government guidelines.
Kent Golf will continue to review the situation on a regular basis in accordance with updates from the Government together with guidance from our governing body, England Golf. It is imperative that we work to ensure the health and wellbeing of our members, players, staff and volunteers as well as all of those who work at our host golf clubs.
