Boom time for golf in Singapore


Golf is perceived as a safe sport and activity during the Covid-19 outbreak as it is played in the open air. - ST

SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/ANN): Even as many sporting facilities and activities have been restricted or stopped in Singapore due to the coronavirus pandemic, many here are dusting off their irons and heading to the range to get back into the swing of things.

Golf clubs told The Straits Times their bookings have increased, one by as much as 15 per cent in March compared to the previous month, while a check on the Marina Bay Golf Course (MBGC) - a public facility - shows limited slots, and for only nine holes, are available this week until Sunday (April 5).
