Governor Walz will allow Minnesota golf courses to open, other outdoor actvities to start Saturday
Just in time for the last melting snow and a sunny weekend forecast, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz on Friday opened golf courses across the state starting Saturday morning and golfers rushed to get tee times.
Walz’s decision also included the reopening of bait shops, outdoor shooting ranges and marina services, among with many other outdoor pursuits. Order 20-38 begins 5 a.m. Saturday and came a day after Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers opened courses there beginning next Friday.
DNR guidelines for course managers and golfers: Stagger tee times and stay 6 feet away from others. Remove anything — rakes, ball washers, water coolers — someone might touch. Raise the cup sleeve so balls bounce away, eliminating the need to touch the cup or the flag. Share riding golf carts only with household members. Carpool to the course only with household members. Clean and sanitize carts after every round. Many courses also are taking tee times only by internet or by credit card in advance to limit interaction upon arrival.
