SINGAPORE - A new landscape will greet the nation's golf enthusiasts when they swing back into action from Friday .

Besides the safe distancing measures and the 50-person cap on the number of persons announced by Sport Singapore on Wednesday, the guidelines also include on-course restrictions designed to stem the spread of Covid-19. No caddies will be engaged and players must submit their scores online through the SGA Centralised Handicapping System via web browser log-in or mobile application.

Flights at the Orchid Country Club were fully booked within half an hour of bookings opening, its general manager Emmanuel Lem told The Straits Times. "In the event of inclement weather, the course will be closed and not re-open and golfers are to leave the club," he added."All these will reduce congregation, avoid overcrowding and reduce close contact."
