In case you overlooked it -- and no person might be amazed if you did, given how crazy lifestyles is right now -- the tours are nevertheless in hopes that the 2020 season will get underway quicker rather than later. And some of the ones hopeful plans have all started to take shape. Here are more than one articles that GC posted recently on their website.
Brentley Romine posted this article about potential dates for the majors, the Ryder Cup and the PGA Tour schedule in general. And it links to a more detailed article at the Golfweek site, which you can find here. I don't suppose there's much new in these pieces, as we knew that the majors had been postponed rather than cancelled, but the thought that the Masters could be played as late as November is still somewhat shocking to me.
Still, given the confined field length that is usual of the Masters, I think daylight hours is some distance much less of a attention for them than for the alternative majors.
Perhaps the maximum exciting aspect of all that is the (in my opinion, particularly optomistic) idea that the PGA Tour might be capable of resume in mid-July. This, not extraordinarily, is in step with the LPGA plans reported through Randall Mell on this GC article. But it is interesting to me that the Women's US Open has been tentatively rescheduled for December while the men's US Open has yet to be officially postponed. Mell's article also posts the subsequent tentative LPGA agenda.
Don't misunderstand my pessimism. I do hope that these new schedules play out as deliberate and we can get the golfing season -- and all the sports activities seasons, in addition to lifestyles in general, for that be counted -- again in action. I think the sector can truly use some precise news right now.
But I'm no longer certain that it will be that smooth to get everything restarted in much less than 3 months. I don't assume we are going to truly apprehend how severely our lives -- indeed, our complete world -- has been disrupted with the aid of this pandemic till we attempt to find out what the 'new ordinary' is going to be like. We did not understand how deeply this virus become going to hit us whilst it started, and I doubt that it'll go out quietly both.
Still, the mere truth that we're starting to talk approximately normalcy in any thing of our lives may additionally lift the spirits folks all, mainly those who have been hit actually tough by COVID-19. And we have to never underestimate the energy of wish, particularly while dealing with an enemy that we can not even see.
So permit's hope those plans emerge as good ones.
