Should All Golf Courses In Clinton County Be Closed?

Photos of golf being played at Frankfort Commons golf course circulated local Facebook groups yesterday, Tuesday, April 7, 2020.

Many asked whether the executive order by Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb stating only essential travel for Hoosiers should apply to those traveling to and from golf courses is “essential.”

Others asked if golf is “essential” at all.

Clinton County Today has gone to the Monday, April 6, 2020, press release of Clinton County Health Officer, Dr. Stephen D. Tharp, MD, where he said, “Playing in the park, on the basketball court, or on the golf course puts you and your family and friends at risk of infection.”

So, should all golf courses in Clinton County be closed?
