CONWAY — “We’re used to being the ones stepping up and offering fundraisers to help local people and organizations — now we’re on the other side of it, and it’s very humbling,” said Jonathan Rivers, owner of Indian Mound Golf Club in Center Ossipee, as his and other courses across the state have been shut down due to the COVID-19 virus.
A petition calling on Gov. Chris Sununu to allow Granite State residents to play golf had 8,300 signatures as of last Thursday.
