how can you play behind closed doors,at corners is everyone going to stand two metres apart?you will end up with scores in double figures and that is just one example.

Sports that could restart fairly soon:-

Tennis
Badminton
Show jumping
Crown Green Bowling
Archery

I can't see how any sport with a high potential for personal contact can start for months yet.

Golf could start... 10 Mins between tee times only two balls at a time preferably with a person from the same address ie wife or partner or family member etc . Tee booking system would be required
Club house would be closed though.

Golf courses could just become giant extension of the 19th hole

How on earth do you come to that conclusion.
The tee times can be monitored anyone hanging around after playing would politely be asked to leave.

My local golf course has a very small membership anyway (and Millport GC is one of the most beautiful courses I have ever seen), but I would find it very easy to keep 2 metres apart from anyone as I spend most of my time in the rough!
It is a shame people can't even play golf - the club house, as Distance says,  does not need to be used.

Just think we scrap golf as a sport and create large socially distance pubs.

Probably more money in it for them anyway.

If Alty can't play till January, don't see why Alty don't put covers down and run it as a large outdoor bar Friday Saturday Sunday

No - keep golf closed. I am loving running across Dunham Golf Course each day on my way to Dunham Village & Dunham Park from Alry. What about my mental health???

County Championship Cricket.

The very occasional time when two batters collide, or two fielders. Apart from that the fifteen people on the field have a huge selection space.

That's where I'd start with cricket, hardly anyone goes any way. After that some 50 over stuff, got to start somewhere and that make sense to me.

Footy? Nope.
