The NCAA made a terrible decision to let Brigham Young University’s golf team play a round of the finals tournament on Thursday instead of Sunday due to the Mormons refusal to join the rest of the world.
Weather is a huge factor in golf. It’s not indoors. It may be windy, cold, rainy, a large number of factors that affect the golfers’ game on a given day. Allowing this religious group to play under different rules is an affront to the entire competition.
