I may think it’s nonsense that I can go for a walk with my dogs but can’t walk round a golf course hitting a little white ball, but those are the rules and society expects me to comply.

It’s a bu993r but it’s tough.
I know that - but as far as I know it hasn't yet become illegal to point out absurdity ? It is insane that I can go fishing , as I will be doing tomorrow , but you can't play golf. I don't like passively accepting rules which make no sense - other wise we start drifting to 'just obeying orders , sir ' . Obviously I am not going to tilt at the 70mph limit windmill - that ship has long since sailed - but the current Covid rules are temporary and I'll be buggered if I can't point out manifest nonsenses in them .
