COVID Procedures

The MSHSL has not announced Covid procedures and practices for spring sports, yet.  When the procedures are announced, you will be able to find a link here.  

At this time, please plan on having a mask and hand sanitizer with you at all times when you are at golf.  It is highly likely we will wear masks on the range due to the possibility of the general public being there with us.  

More details to come at a later date...
