CONWAY — This time last year, golf courses were in limbo due to the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic. Links across the state were closed until Gov. Chris Sununu permitted them to open the second week in May 2020. A petition calling on the governor to allow Granite State residents to play golf drew more than 8,300 signatures. Two of those signatures belonged to Jonathan Rivers, owner of Indian Mound Golf Club in Center Ossipee, and Mike Mallett, owner of the Wentworth Golf Club in Jackson.
They, along with other course owners, said they could create a safe environment for patrons to enjoy time out on the links — and they did just that.
