The rumours are that we can start hugging friends and family from next week. What do you think about this? I feel a bit anxious about this. In the past I've hugged people,not close friends, as a way of saying bye, but it can feel awkward. Do you hug or not hug so it has been nice lockdown not to have this pressure.

I would like to be able to shake hands after a game of golf again rather than the rather awkward clash of club heads or elbow bumps. If you hand washing and sanitizing is frequent and well done there should not be a problem. We have dirty hands on the golf course anyway so it should be a habit well practised. As for hugging family and close friends only for me with an exception made for Rufus Sewell who can have whatever he wants?
