Hafeez shared a picture with a member of the public inside the golf course adjacent to the hotel at the Ageas Bowl. "Met an inspirational young lady today morning [sic] at golf course. She is 90+ & living her life healthy & happily. Good healthy routine," he wrote on



Twitter. 

Players were earlier in the day allowed to use the golf course but as per the biosecure protocols, they were advised to not engage in social interaction with the outside public.
