Traditionally the system for collecting and displaying scores for golf tournaments has been hand filled with cards. Actually, that is the R&A requirement for the tournaments as well. But in the wake of COVID-19 how long this tradition will last is only to be seen. Contactless tournament management and execution both for the players and the organisers are the things that will happen.  Not to mention the time-consuming part for score entry and later availability of the results have always been a problem. Which makes, other than the professional tournaments, a bit of a nuisance for both players, their followers, spectators and tournament organisers.

The pandemic has pushed golfers to self-isolate and practices social distancing, but this could not prevent them from staying active. Keeping yourself active not only benefits you physically, but it’s also incredibly important for keeping a healthy psychological state. The fact is you can begin on the path to building your best body for golf right at home with just a little time, desire and, perhaps to your surprise, no equipment.
