When restrictions on public gatherings to combat the novel coronavirus lift, Golf Canada CEO Laurence Applebaum knows his sport will be ready.

Applebaum spoke about golf's unique position as a pastime that can lend itself to social distancing on Saturday as he himself was in a 14-day period of self-isolation after attending the PGA Tour's Players Championship in early March. He's seen articles and online discussions about how golf is relatively safe during the COVID-19 pandemic but he still advises against playing for now.
