Yeah, I'm amazed that in over a year I don't really recall any other reports like this?
Brodie's situation is a bit different because I'm assuming he was at home and wasn't out on the road when he found out and withdrew.
Any idea what "field testing" means? I haven't paid a lot of attention to any official Covid policies per the PDGA since I've not played any events, and policies seem to vary a lot among areas anyway. Random testing? Required if you don't provide your own negative results within a specified date range? Something else?
Seems crazy because I'd say most people at this point personally know a few people that have had Covid? And with all the travel to various parts of the country they've been extremely lucky.
I would not be surprised if a lot of golfers simply wouldn't bother to get tested unless they wound up sick enough to seek medical attention. Most of them don't really have sufficient financial backstop to miss potentially 3 tourney paydays while quarantining especially if they're mildly or or non-symptomatic. So there's probably a portion of them that have had it and none of us (or even they themselves) don't know.
