Should Golf Courts Be Open Or Closed?

Most golf courses are closed as part of the stay at home order, but many Minnesotans argue it’s an activity that should be allowed.

“Now when you tell them the forecast is 60 and sunny next week but you’re stuck inside it’s like, ‘Whoa, whoa, whoa, that hurts,'” said John Potter, who started a petition to open golf courses.

Potter worries keeping them closed is worst case scenario, and many courses could close for good.

On Friday afternoon, Walz talked about how he is open to the idea of keeping golf courses open during this time.

Governor Walz added he’s going to consult with his health experts on whether or not this is a good idea to open golf courses.
