The body spoke out on Friday after some clubs told members they would reopen, and have done so again after it emerged the sport will resume in England.

They said there is no such agreement about a safe resumption in Scotland.

It has been suggested that golf would be one of the first activities to be permitted when restrictions are eased.

"I appreciate the frustrations but... we ask all golfers to show patience," said Scottish Golf's Karin Sharp.

"Golf is a sport where integrity and rules sit at the very heart of the game and we ask all golfers to respect the position of Scottish Government."

Scottish Golf says it remains "in daily dialogue" with ministers about when the sport can return safely.
