A further recommendation due to the COVID-19 virus is that the flag be left in when putting and not removed or touched. We are trying to minimise contact with the flagstick. If the flag needs to be removed to extract your golf ball please ensure your hand still has a golf glove on or some other protective device. This will also apply to raking a bunker. Please minimise contact with the rake handle and utilise the hand with a glove on or use some other protective device (perhaps your golf towel).
