A couple of months ago, we didn’t use words
like “COVID-19” and “social distancing.” We
were planning spring and summer events
and BBQs, graduations and vacations. In a
few short weeks, everything has changed.
COVID-19 affects us each in different ways, but
it affects each of us nonetheless.
Although lock down orders and social distanc-
ing parameters are being set across the coun-
try, there are still many ways to get outside
and enjoy ourselves. Our daily routines have
been disrupted but don’t allow it to steal your
joy. In many ways, our lives have been slowed
down a bit and we can benefit from that.
Here are a few ways to battle the social dis-
tancing blues:
Take a Cruise in Your Golf Car
Breathing fresh air and enjoying the beauty
nature has to offer is a great way to keep life in
perspective and clear your mind. Explore a new
trail or take a quick drive around the neighbor-
hood. Taking a few deep breaths of the fresh
air after being trapped indoors feels so good.
If you live in a cooler climate, use your golf car
enclosure while you are driving but make sure
to stop and breathe in the fresh air.

Use Your Golf Car to
Battle the
Social Distancing
Blues

Plan a Family Picnic
Although we are distancing ourselves from others,
that doesn’t include those living in our home. Recon-
nect with the people with whom you live and plan a
family picnic. Pack up your golf car with some sand-
wiches and drinks and head to a secluded area. Pri-
vate beaches, open grassy areas, or nature preserves
are a few places to consider. As long as your picnic
only includes the people who live in your home, no
one is at risk.
Drive a Bucket of Golf Balls
Nothing battles frustration like driving a bucket of
golf balls. Load up your clubs on your golf car and ei-
ther head to the nearest outdoor range (if it is open)
or find an open field. Get your body moving and
transfer your COVID-19 stress to the golf ball. Don’t
forget to pack a cooler with your favorite drinks.
Perform Some Extra Maintenance
Have you been putting off installing those new golf
car wheels and tires? Maybe your batteries could use
some TLC. Now is a great time to wash and wax your
golf car in anticipation of the beautiful weather on
the horizon. Use this time at home to take care of
your golf car so it will take care of you for years to
come.
