Religious Restrictions Force BYU Men’s Golf Team To Play National Championship All By Themselves In Solo Round

Summary

BYU’s men’s golf team played a solo round at the national championships on Thursday to avoid competing on Sunday, which is considered a sacred Sabbath in the Mormon religion. The team completed their first round of stroke play on Thursday, and will join the other 29 teams on Friday and Saturday. They will sit out on Sunday, as their third round is already completed.


Our Reading

The routine arrives with confidence.

BYU’s golf team gets a solo round to observe the Sabbath. The Mormon religion holds Sunday as sacred, so the team played 18 holes by themselves on Thursday. They’ll join the other teams on Friday and Saturday, and then sit out on Sunday. Because, Sabbath. The NCAA works with BYU to make sure they can observe their religious restrictions. The team will play all their games from Monday to Saturday, just like they do in March Madness.

The Sabbath is a day of rest, but also a day of solo golf rounds.
