Decision to Allow Golf Courses to reopen gives rise to cries of elitist favoritism.
Coronavirus shutdown and now shut-in at home business owners are livid that golf courses have been allowed to reopen and are decrying it a special privilege for moneyed interests.
Apparently those outraged do not realize that many golfers are middle class duffers who play at municipal or otherwise public golf courses.
That or how golf is arguably the original socially distance sport, however unknowingly.
Whack then walk. Repeat repeatedly.

Even so, while some wives are glad to see their husbands get out from underfoot, surely many more are annoyed that golf courses are now allowed to reopen but there is not a even but a hint of a glint as when hair salons and nail shops might be allowed to reopen.

Not allowing golf courses to open was nothing more than an ego trip by Baker. MA was the last state in the country to allow them to open. He allowed them to open after he made some over the top requirements and to avoid the national media attention that one golf course owner was going to make sure she got.
My take: letting golf courses reopen without a dress code requirement was a colossal mistake. The mind boggles as to what notoriously fashion-oblivious golfers will be wearing on the links after months stuck at home sheltering in place and wearing whatever.
