Travis County and the City of Austin have announced
Shelter-in-place through April 13. This means that the city golf
courses will remain closed until at least that date. You and
your family should read the announcement details and follow them
to the best of your ability to help shorten this outbreak.
It is
necessary for ASGA to cancel at least 2 more tournaments.
These are the ones originally scheduled for April 7 and April 14,
2020. I know that some of you have probably discovered a way to
practice and play a bit here and there. We sure encourage you to
follow the "no more than 10 in a group and spacing requirements" to keep yourselves and your friends and family as
safe as possible. Exercise is sure important and so is safety.
Both can be practiced at the same time. As of last night, March
24 at 7 PM, the number of cases in Travis County has grown from one
about 10 days ago to 98 now.
Please read the ASGA news article about Bob Gamble. He really was
a great ASGA member and we can all strive to have the last
sentence in the story written about us at the end of our lives: "Those of us who played with
Bob will remember him as a true gentleman and an honest golfer."
Well done friend.
Travis McWhorter on behalf of ASGA Board
