Golf Courses?
- State officials have reversed course and decided to shut down golf courses in Illinois.
The governor’s office revised its stay-at-home executive order Thursday. While restaurants and liquor stores can remain open, recreational sports businesses — including golf courses — are “not considered essential businesses” amid the shutdown because of the coronavirus pandemic.
That message was delivered to golf industry professionals in a letter late Thursday afternoon. The letter was signed by four groups, including the Illinois Section PGA and Chicago District Golf Association.
The decision is a blow to the golf industry, which is reeling from the effects of COVID-19, and golfers who believe they can maintain a safe social distance while playing.
If you're closer than ten feet to another golfer, you're doing it wrong. But liquor stores are "essential."

No excise tax on golf balls
Old retired guy
OT: Corona in 016. The station needs to be closed down and deep cleaned per CDC requirements. Windows and doors opened for 24 hours. Then cleaning solution left on surfaces for minutes before being wiped away. All keyboards removed and replaced with keyboards that can be wiped clean. Etc. Move to emergency location for all operations to St. Cornelius. Anything else is placing every citizen in 016 at risk with contact by the police. Protect the citizens and clean the station properly.
Ridiculous. Has anyone been in a grocery store? They are cesspools of sick people. It's where coronavirus is going to it's final push.
In any case, they could even have the golfers ride single, one person to a cart. Or walk. No way they'd be closer than 6 ft.
Hey now!
Don't be getting my local liquor store closed down. It's all I've got now.

Michael's arts & craft is essential,
but my dog can't get groomed cause they're
non essential.
Wierd
So the course itself is a no no, but you can get a toddy to go from the 19th hole???
Stay safe your family first!
Fake mayor clown Groot & Property tax cheat Il Gov Jabba doing hands off on community members & gatherings ...No wonder liquor stores are open
Kiss off Chicago conventions until Sept.. summer tourists in Chicago.?
Vote no on Illinois Gov Prickster's income tax increase vote in Nov
This will continue until some group finally says enough is enough and takes Fredo Pritzker to court. The order will get thrown out immediately.
Essential businesses.
How soon will that include massage parlors and strip clubs?
Any governor can declare martial law when the constitution goes out the window, even JB the hurt. But he and Cuomo want Trump to do it and be the fall guy. I understand we are in uncharted waters but let's please stop freaking out. The dems always want easy answers for complex problems. That's never going to work so stop fn with one of the few things I still think is safe like golf
Woah woah woah. SCC, I’ve never disagreed before. This is a first. I sense your sarcasm about liquor stores being “essential”. They are essential!!!! In the words of woody harrelson in kingpin “I don’t puke when I drink, I puke when I dont.”
If you close the liquor stores, you will have more people filling hospital beds going through DTs
time to march on the interstate
Our governor fatbeard the pirate and his parrot which is perched on his shoulder (groot) are going to teach all you pilgrims how to follow orders or you will walk the plank. They both want to be the king and queen of the peoples republic of illinois.
if basketball pick up games are cancelled, it make sense( to the demoRats) that golf be shut down as well...logic by SWJ's.
Liquor and weed stores will keep the populace in a stupor that works in the government should favor.
Are the weed dispensaries still open? I think the government should legalize heroin and let people set up heroin dispensaries. Then if that makes money we could legalize meth. Think of all the tax dollars first. Don’t even consider the people’s lives being destroyed. We should be ashamed of ourselves for allowing this stuff to happen.
It’s not the golf course itself that’s dangerous, it’s the socializing at the 19th hole that’s the problem.
Weed joints are essential also notice how they covertly went back to selling recreational weed I guess that is essential right governor? Everyone understands medical marijuana because it is medical like a pharmacy gives out recreational and are they keeping it 6 feet distance or more in the small shops? All about the money all about who’s eyes you’re looking through the governor and mayor are obviously blindedby the weed!
No golfing, no biking, no running. Liquor stores open. It almost seems like they don't like anything that is good for you.
I’ve noticed that a lot of states that are instituting draconian shut-down orders are allowing liquor stores and golf courses to remain open. I guess that’s because politicians like to drink and play golf. At our club the bar and dining areas are closed, but you can BYO. I am rather surprised at what the politicians deem “essential.”
As for all LEOs and Fire Department personnel, thank you for all you do and for always being there for the rest of us. You are appreciated more than you know.
Simple fact.
Never forget who are leaders are.
Then you won't hurt your brain trying to figure out what they're doing.
Liquor stores? The real money's in the pot dispensaries...
Apparently you're not a golfer. Golfers are in close contact when they are driving between the tees and the fairway. And what's golf if you cannot sit in the bar at the end of the game and change your scores.
Yes, weed shops have been declared an essential business. I kid you not
But in the democrats thinking process, pot stores are essential business! FOR WHO THE MILLIONAIRES WHO CONTROL IT! States a den of thieves who will stop at nothing! NOTHING as in NOTHING LEFT in the state!!!
Yes liquor and weed folks. Forget about staying physically and mentally healthy. Dumb yourselves down, this helps the political elites control you.

Oh lighten up already!
A decision that shows these governors copy each other in stupid moves. Tuesday WI governor Evers announced the state's Shelter In Place order effective Wednesday March 25. Golf courses are on the list of non-essential businesses which have to close. Now there's an online petition to get it changed.
A golf course is a waste of a perfectly good rifle range.
Most of the golf courses had a walking only policy for right now.
Been married for a while and the in laws stay with us, liquor stores are absolutely essential.
But where will I wash my golfballs? I mean, really! The nerve! You'd think there's a pandemic or something...oh, wait...
Weed dispensaries are open for medical marijuana only. https://www.dph.illinois.gov/topics-services/prevention-wellness/medical-cannabis/covid19-medical-cannabis-guidance
JB tried to play golf once. It didn't work because he could not see the ball at his feet.
I wonder if Trump knows about this?
Fore!
JB the Hut must really be getting off every time he gets to shut down an athletic activity. The fat kid who could never participate gets to stop people who are able to do something athletic. Just because he can't reach around his belly to get 2 hands on a golf club, he's getting wood shutting down golf. Of course he needs a mirror to confirm that.
Someone should follow this fat slob and Groot around and document all the made up "rules" they break. Typical of the commies. Lots of rules for the general public no rules for the elite.
So, the Trump hospitality companies are barred from any govt. coronavirus assistance. I wonder how much assistance money the Pritzker family is pulling in in Hyatt assistance?
I can only hit my golf ball 6 feet. But once I hit it and it broke the window of a liquor store.
Any business that the city, county or state taxes heavily is deemed "essential"if you haven't noticed.
So if I prevent certain ‘groups’ from playing basketball, I’ll be encroaching on their civil rights and freedom, if I leave them be, then CPD don’t care about us and wants us to get contaminated...
I think it’s too early, many spots still too soggy for golf anyway, until at least late April for me.
But its my choice and shouldn’t be Lyin’JB PorkChop’s.
Larri (Congregating on the Lakefront Leads to Death™️) LightLoafer issued a 3-1-1 snitch box hotline, Also seen a Prickwrinkle snitch sign at the preserves.
I really hope all this unnecessary panic closing bullshit is going to bite the Democrats big time come November. And I hope the GOP statewide candidates really emphasize this and the effects on the economy.
"But liquor stores are "essential." "
Your god damm right liquor stores are "essential."
I saw a Thai foot massage place that had the “Open” sign off, but a haphazard handwritten sign with telephone number slapped up next to it. Now, that sounds like a virus spread waiting to happen.
To make things worse, when they closed the golf courses I figgered that my private outdoor rifle/pistol range would be my sanity outlet but lo and behold. that same order closed down my range.
Now what do i do?

I think there is some kind of SCAM.
The hospitals know that they will get paid from insurers for testing for covid-19. I think the nurses are being pressured to say it’s covid-19 and not just FLU that hits every year.
You wait and see.
If you missed channel 7 yesterday JB said he was busy trying to provide equipment for medical personnel and first offenders After a commercial they did a segment where the CEO of Hart Schaftner and Marx said he has an empty factory in DesPlaines that can produce 250,000 masks and gowns that meet the requirements and he has called for 2 weeks and the state hasn’t responded to his offer and to authorize it. That’s 1/2 million masks that could have been made in the last two weeks. CEO said he made numerous calls and is frustrated with the state(JB)
More idiocy from our Balloon Head Governor.
