Yes I think it’s a moral sin to miss mass and play golf, unless one can not find a church for miles and miles or some other very good reason. As for other churches, I figure it differs from sect. to sect.
 
Wait a minute…wouldn’t the going to golf and not going to Mass constitute as an offense against, “Thou shalt not have any gods before Me”? Wouldn’t it be an idol by definition?
 
Last sunday on Easter our priest was preaching about this topic, (not golf in particular lol) but other things that keep people busy from attending mass for 1 hour. I think it is wrong not to attend church, although i don’t attend regularly im always busy in studying.

Have you ever considered that if you offered your time at mass in worship of our great God, that your studying tme might be more productive?

No, not unless you would pray to the golf clubs and to the golf course etc. Violates 3rd commandment, “Keep holy the Sabbath Day”

I hope your happy that because of you, I have 15 infractions with this forum & it was you who led me up to being uncharitable to You. This bothers me very much, but I doubt it bothers you. Just want to get this off my chest

You have no one to blame but yourself. I too have had infractions for uncharitable posting. Here is a helpful tip. Get over it. Moderators are doing their job weather you like it or not.

Furthermore, I never reported you once.
 
You would commit a mortal sin by missing mass to play golf.
Unless there is no church for hours away
 
If you miss mass without a legitimate reason, like sickness or another, then it is a mortal sin :dts:
 
Yes, it would be a mortal sin to go golfing instead of going to church on Sunday.
