Isn’t the first group out on Friday subject to the same disadvantage?

I agree it would be helpful to observe others play ahead of you. Anyone know if they have practice rounds?

This pre Sunday round thing BYU golf always does at the NCAA’s is so stupid. Zach Jones is blowing up right now.

It’s awful. Dumbest thing in college sports.

BYU has always fared badly under this format

They should let them play an extra 9 on Friday and again Saturday. Could easily make that work.

5/25/23 6:31pm

I like it.... Have everyone play 27.

It's been a terrible day for them so far. The 5 BYU golfers are all more than halfway through their round and BYU (as a

BYU isn’t serious about winning then. Why play? This hurts the players

Have the players said this? Perhaps they won’t, however, some may argue

It’s completely not normal. No way they like it better.

You're right, BYU should just cancel all sports. 🙄

No because it’s a normalized & comfortable format.

That part is accurate but as far as how the course plays etc., the first group

I don't follow. The BYU players today each played by themselves. 5 guys, each playing a hole as a single. This means

I missed the play as singles. I thought they played as a group. That makes

It’s funny that BYU benefits by accepting players who have basically played

So I don't have skin in this game. My question is why do you think BYU struggles to play golf on a Thursday with no

There are countless times during a round of golf where college players benefit

I'd say figure it out.

DJROSS

How in the world do you figure that out without 3 other guys in your group

As a former BYU scholarship athlete, 90%+ of non-football and non-Utah athletes

Ah well, at this point I am always watching to see how far down BYU will end up?

Not a victim. Just looking for a better solution.

Almost every BYU athlete who turns pro has to play games on Sunday.

Stalwartbob

5/26/23 8:33am

Not an institutional decision at that point but personal.

Soupie

5/26/23 8:39am

Sounds like you have the problem here. BYU has held true to Sabbath observance and you don’t like it. Just move along.

5/26/23 1:06pm

They do…. but they don’t. See my post above.

Coming to your high school events is being hypocritical? I don’t see that. And there’s no way to not travel.

My question was if LDS athletes choose to play on Sunday is there any

Do Dr’s firemen police farmers have to work on Sunday? Again, individual is different than an institutional policy.

Soupie

Policies change when expedient, it appears. Polygamy, Black Priesthood, etc.
