Golf to resume at level 3 under strict rules

According to Sport New Zealand's website, contact and non-contact sports and activities are expanded slightly to match travel rules at level 3, but must be done within your bubble.

Level 3 still has strict rules on movement with "people instructed to stay home in their bubble other than for essential personal movement".

Newstalk ZB is reporting the governing bodies of certain recreational sports will meet with Sport New Zealand on Wednesday to learn their specific guidelines under alert level 3.

New Zealand Golf has confirmed that the sport could resume "under strict rules and guidelines, which will become known this week".

Simple exercise and physical activity can take place but only within your bubble.

Sport New Zealand advises the public to "remain within your current abilities".

"Examples are easy walks, picnics, backyard soccer, biking, including riding on easy, local mountain bike tracks. Public parks may open, but need to maintain physical distancing with people outside extended bubble."

Activities or sport involving contact must remain within bubble members and must be low-risk activities.

Sport NZ states: "[You] can train at home or outside with bubble members if personal contact is limited to bubble, activity is low risk, any associated travel is within allowed amount. Low-risk activities only: care must be taken not to be injured and require medical care."
