Warne backed his point with series of tweets on micro-blogging site.
Former Australia cricketer Shane Warne is not happy with the shutting down of golf courses in Australia during the COVID-19 pandemic. He doesn't see any reason to close the golf courses which can help people to maintain good mental health.
The ex-cricketer also believes the golf courses wouldn't affect the process of flattening the curve.

"Interesting debate about golf courses & whether they should be open or not. I'm like all Victorian's & doing the right thing by staying home - unless it's necessary re supermarket. But I see 1000's of people out exercising/waking - isn't that golf & good for mental health too," Warne said in a tweet.
In another tweet, the Aussie said mental health is very important in this tough time. "I know some people have lost jobs & doing it tougher than others & that's extremely sad. We r all in this together. Surely common sense & doing the right thing is crucial to get through this. Stay home. But so too is mental health-hence go out and exercise/walk. Isn't that golf," he wrote.
Warne added, "I'm homeschooling my daughter who's doing Y12, stayed home & been on the occasional walk with my son. So I'm doing the right thing. Question is-R golf courses closed as it doesn't look good or is it really not going to slow the curve if you adhere to the social distancing rules."
He finished off saying, "Lastly, I don't need to play golf and will continue to do the right thing and stay home as we are all in this together & we will get through this. It just doesn't seem logical that you can go out and exercise as long as you adhere to the social distancing rules! Isn't that golf."
