Area golf courses stay in full swing despite limits

A golf course might be among the purest places to be amid this milieu of infectious disease and the coronavirus.
With Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey last week declaring golf an essential activity, courses in Eloy and Casa Grande are in full swing at making their facilities as clean and safe as possible, with one course even washing the golf balls smacked around its driving range.
Carts are sanitized and restricted to one player, on-course ball washers are off-limits, touching flag sticks is a no-no and the 19th hole is no longer serving drinks to thirsty golfers after a round. Most golfers welcome the health and safety guidelines and are adjusting to the new style of golf, pro shop officials say, and not feeling inconvenienced.
