I do not understand this exception to what needs to happen. There are ways to worship that do not require spreading disease. If the Catholic Church in Italy can shut down mass and the Pope speak to an empty St Peter's Square, surely the local church on every corner can do the same.
Agree. Perhaps the governor can explain how going to church with a bunch of other people is safer than a group of 4 or less golfers maintaining social distancing guidelines.

On the other hand, reading the actual order, it does not prohibit golf---the order exempts outdoor activities where social distancing guidelines are followed. I'm sure there will be a clarification forthcoming
