Carolinas PGA Back2Golf Update – Cart Operations – (06/25/20)

Carolinas PGA Professionals & Associates:

Good afternoon!  I hope you and your families are doing well during this challenging time.  With yesterday’s announcement from NC Governor Cooper with more stringent requirements for wearing face masks while in public, the Carolinas PGA has updated the current Back2Golf Playbook Version 4.0 as it relates to both states.

The update relates to North Carolina “Cart Operations” as follows:

North Carolina:

Two people are permitted to ride together in a cart if they live in the same household without a facial cloth covering. If two people who do NOT live in the same household are sharing a cart, a facial cloth covering is required.

NC Executive Order 147

South Carolina remains the same, as follows:

South Carolina:

Two people are permitted to ride together in a cart if they live in the same household without a facial cloth covering. If two people who do NOT live in the same household are sharing a cart, a facial cloth covering is strongly recommended.

The Carolinas PGA has updated this document as it relates to NC and SC orders issued by each state’s respective governor.  Please CLICK HERE to review this updated document.  It is also available on our COVID-19 webpage.

Note:  For both SC and NC any stricter local city or county mandates continue to supersede the B2G guidance and should be strictly followed. 

Please continue to safely and responsibly operate your facility using the most current state orders listed below:

South Carolina Executive Orders

North Carolina Executive Orders

The B2G guidance is to be utilized as strongly recommended guidelines that were determined by our allied golf associations and the CDC, and not as a mandate.  It is up to each individual CPGA facility to determine the best practices to ensure safety and compliance at your respective golf facility.

We will continue to update the membership with new developments as it relates to our staff and B2G phases for each state.  Please do not hesitate to contact an officer, board member or Executive Director Jeff Abbot with any questions.

Sincerely,

Bob ByrnesBob Byrnes, PGA
