For anyone that is a fan of both the Wire and golf, this is fun.

IL Gov. announced today golf is coming back May 1. My exploration of the Indiana golf scene will soon be coming to an end. I found some good courses over there that I hadn't played before. So I guess that was a positive side note to this (inter)national ordeal.
I've seen quite a few Pearl Jam shows.0 -

Harrison Hills, Twin Bridges, Battle Ground. Playing Purdue (Ackerman-Allen course) next week. Pete Dye did a renovation on it in 2016, looking forward to seeing the changes. Battle Ground was a nice surprise. Lovely classic course, with updates by Tim Liddy, $15 walking rate was crazy.

Still closed in PA. Hopefully soon. They are open in Delaware but only for Delaware residents. Bastards.

At least there was some good news with yesterday's announcement from Pritzker. Guessing it will be pre-pay online and then 1 person per cart or you walk. Saw that some states are doing longer intervals between tee times like 15 mins. Whatever the restrictions are I can't wait to get the fuck out of my house and get out there soon.0 -
Irish gov't making an announcement on May 5th. People hopeful they will reopen courses as the restrictions begin to ease. There's talk that it will be member's only to start and take it from there. Things run slightly differently over here. There isn't the distinction between private/public courses. All courses have a membership and also allow green fees, which is great because you can play any course in the country. The only one I can think of that's completely private is Hog's Head. Its members are almost entirely American.

I joined a private club to be able to avoid tee times and play rounds in under 3.5 hours (walking). The course is nice but not anything special. If it was opened up to the public at off peak times I would never join because off peak times are when I can play quick rounds. For a course though that is a marvel it would be nice though to open up one or two days a week max and have opportunities at least to get on Augusta or Pine Valley. It is a shame and why I don’t give a shit about Bobby Jones.0

And in true Illinois fashion, they make it so difficult. Only twosomes and no carts of any kind. Can't even rent a push cart?!? Kinda ridiculous. Thousands of people in and out of grocery stores all day long with carts but you can't drive a golf cart by yourself to play golf. Electric carts and pull carts could easily be disinfected after each round. This state is the worst.0 -
Push/ pull carts are virtually nowhere to be found unless you want to pay some asshole hundreds of dollars on ebay. Unreal.

Three provinces in Canada have allowed the opening of golf courses. Very sadly I don’t live in any of them0

Looks like golf in PA is open on Friday. Hoping to play at least a couple times this weekend.www.myspace.com0

I played the Purdue (Ackerman-Allen) course yesterday. I thought it was great, and I liked it even better than their other course (Kampen). It's on a better piece of land than Kampen, more rolling and tree lined. More visually appealing. A lot of land movement, even in the fairway. Tees are close to greens, so it's very walkable. The 2016 Pete Dye renovation has added a lot of interest and difficulty, especially around the greens. The greens were firm and extremely fast. The $45 twilight rate was quite a bargain.

For the first time in 3+weeks I was able to takes some swings at my local golf range. We practiced social distancing even though there were only 4 guys total that were practicing.
My swing was STILL there as I stayed calm and confident in my stroke. Now comes the challenge of the next time will it all still be there. BTW it was a absolutely beautiful day to be playing golf here in West Palm Beach.
