I'm thinking June 1st at the earlies also. Tournament's and the number of them can be the difference between the club making a profit as opposed to a loss. They sell a ton of booze on the course and do good sales in the pro shop as many don't have balls or tees. Every course, private or semi will suffer this year loses this year.
The annual dues members pay is what's keeping courses open right now. It's been used to pay the salaries of workers and equipment upkeep until revenue from green fees come in.
