Thank God we have an entire new thread for this single announcement.
Otherwise, I don't know where we ever would have found it....

[Section ThirtyOne]

This might be the one single time that your thread title in all caps is appropriate.

what does this actually mean though? Clear to prepare to open? Its just another ambiguous statement if it didnt contain any specific dates

Theyve already been preparing

"Clear to prepare to get ready to someday open"
How about they just announce when they can officially open. I'm sure courses have been preparing in anticipation.

[Richd]

may prepare but not open to the public??

[Fore Warned]

Just to be clear the release says golf course may prepare their courses for the upcoming season, but not yet open to the public.

These words “Golf courses may prepare their courses for the upcoming season, but not open to the public” don’t offer any insight as to when courses will actually open.

The new ruling will allow golf courses in Ontario to do non-essential work. Previously they were restricted in what they could do.

[PistolPete]

To date golf courses have been restricted in what they can "prepare". Essentially they were just allowed basic maintenance by a few staff. This announcement serves as a heads up that "hey folks get ready because you will be given the green light soon"

Hopefully that means driving ranges too. I need to hit a few before round number 1 of the 20s.

i wonder if this means independent driving ranges can prepare to open too? I noticed one near hear doing a lot of mowing and stuff.

LOL - Great attention grabber...

Gents - I also heard from a few this AM that May 14 is the date. I can tell you from the courses around me, skeleton staff have been working the courses with restrictions and from a view, in great shape...

Think May 14 is realistic. I'm choosing positivity today.

I'm hoping so. I managed to cut myself for 12 stitches on the heel of my palm 10 days ago. It's healing well and I'll probably take the stitches out mid next week. Shouldn't be too tender by the 14th.
