Washtenaw Golf Club, one of the oldest courses in Michigan, typically only has to worry about the weather in March.
Now there is a far more serious issue to contemplate: the new coronavirus.
"This is the one thing we didn't think of," said Dave Kendall, a PGA professional and operating partner at Washtenaw, which dates to 1899.
"You know, as far as making plans. But we'll fight through it together."
"I'm a father of three daughters, and my wife and my daughters and I love to watch sports. It's crazy that there is nothing on."
It's not hard for golfers to keep their distance on the fairway, but greens and especially tee boxes can become more crowded and golf is popular among age groups most vulnerable to the virus. Can it really be safe?
"None of the general public is good enough to hit it within six feet of each other."
"Maybe if it's helpful to not have this tease people into going out when they would have stayed home otherwise, then maybe we need to do that."
"The distinction we're trying to make is the unique nature of the golf course. The clubhouse, restaurant, that's one operation. The fields of play, which typically represent outdoor, open space, should be treated differently."
