I agree with you on the football thing, although the players will be getting regular tests, and the sport generates a tonne of cash.

The rest of it make sense to me. Your example of golf: the sport includes the whole social aspect (the golf club rooms etc). Remember they have to keep the rules simple.

Also allowing people to order alcohol to be delivered within the hour probably isn't the smartest!

Why? What is the difference vs someone who keeps a quantity on alcohol in their house (other than being exorbitantly more expensive)?

The same reason why we have limits of where and when you can buy alcohol - because it's a licensed drug.

Why are people confused about this?

You can still buy alcohol in stores; by take-away this means in a ready-to-drink fashion.

Alcohol delivery to a house is fine unless you're assuming people are still having parties.

Limit the amouunt of pre-prepared alcohol that can be delivered to a house at one time. You shouldn't be an ondemand keg delivery at this point or delivering 2+ cases in one go.

Also part of the delivery portion of this is about supporting the pub/bar. Not the access to alcohol. (Otherwise you'd just go to the store)

Yes, this would make sense.

closing the clubhouse is hard?

So now the rule is:

"Golf clubs can open but the club house have to stay shut"

Then you have to think of all the other sports and possible places people can gather and make rules about those too. My point was that the rules have to be simple otherwise people won't read them.
