Golf making some changes due to COVID-19

Many golf courses that are open have adopted new rules due to COVID-19. For instance, there’s prohibited touching of flagsticks, raking sand traps with your feet instead of rakes and raising cup liners in holes.

The latter is of note as the United States Golf Association has announced scores for handicap purposes will count even if you cannot hole out. This will be in effect during the COVID-19 outbreak.
