KUALA LUMPUR (Jan 6): The Malaysian Golf Association (MGA) has issued tighter protocols owing to the recent increase of Covid-19 cases detected at golf clubs, reported the Malay Mail.
Among these protocols are that clubs install a plastic screen separator in all buggies, limiting the changing room capacity to 50% and have caddies wear gloves and masks at all times.
“After meeting the MKN [National Security Council] leadership two days ago, we decided to implement this new rule and encourage clubs to follow it. All they have to do is invest in it one time.
“Then they won’t have to worry about it in the future,” MGA honorary-secretary Datuk Zulkifli Ismail told the news portal.
“We still encourage golfers to use single buggies, but smaller clubs will struggle for patrons. At least with the plastic covers, there is an extra layer of protection,” he added.
According to earlier reports, Mines Resort and Golf Club; Glenmarie Golf and Country Club; and Sultan Aziz Shah Golf and Country Club detected Covid-19 cases in recent days.
The Malay Mail stated that the other golf clubs that have seen Covid-19 cases “to date are Kelab Rahman Putra, Sungai Long Golf and Country Club and Impian Golf and Country Club, Royal Selangor Golf Club, TPC KL, Kelab Golf Negara Subang, Danau Golf Club and Staffield Country Resort”.
