I plan to play this weekend and take every precaution possible. I plan to walk and carry my bag, won't get a scorecard or pencil, won't touch a water jug, won't go in the clubhouse or turnhouse, I'll have my tee time online and check in with the starter, I'll leave every flag stick in and put my glove back on to retrieve my ball from the hole (more accurately I likely won't make any putts and just pick up 1' gimmees), I'll pack up and leave without interacting with anyone.

In my opinion we have to be very careful in times like this but it's unrealistic to think we can continue life with 0 risk of exposure to ourselves/others. We have to do what we can to minimize the risk to the maximum extent practicable while knowing that we can never totally eliminate it. Life still has to go on and continuing activities like golf with strict social distancing seems healthy to me
