Sigh....What's Going On At (Still Closed) Yale GC?
/
Joseph Morelli reports on the suspicious (continued) closure of America’s No. 1 college course due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Given how the university has neglected the course through the years, it’s hardly a surprise to see more odd events taking place. Currently, the course is closed through the end of July.
Worse, Yale’s longtime superintendent and head pro have recently moved on to greener pastures. While this is a first world matter in the most first-world way, Yale GC offers the best course at the most affordable membership in a state not known for great or affordable golf.
Morelli writes:
The Yale Golf Course will remain closed through at least the end of July, according to the course’s website and correspondence sent to the course members last week.
“As COVID-19 guidelines regarding the opening of facilities at Yale University are established, the Yale Golf Course will remain closed through July 31, 2020. We will provide an update as soon as additional information becomes available to us. Should the Yale Golf Course re-open after July 31, detailed information on policies and procedures for golfers coming to play will be provided,” the course’s website reads.
The story goes on to try and unravel why the course remains closed while others in the area have reopened.
Thanks to Anthony Pioppi for highlighting this story and also for checking in on the course, which, contrary to the claim of one person in Morelli’s story, still is getting its fairways mown.
