the supreme court ruled yesterday that the PGA tour must allow golfers with dissabilities to use carts instead of walking an 18-hole course:
PGA Tour vs. Martin
...what do u think? im kinda undecided on this issue, i can argue either way... |

i do agree with you for the most part...
i dont play golf, so i dont know what the advantage is to having a cart or not...but if their isnt a significant advantage to it then its kinda hard for me to understand the harm that would be caused by letting a man with a walking disability have a cart, i mean, its not like its his fault that he cant walk well or anything...i dunno... |

yeah, i guess you're right...but im sure that his disability affects his swing, too, so doesnt that kinda level the playing field?
my main concern with this is that the ability to use a cart will oviously be abused...i think its Vijay Singh that said he's gettin older, his back is startin to hurt a bit, maybe he should get a cart |

bah
then dont play golf
im sorry but there are certain barriers to everything in the world, if you cant play baseball cuz you cant swing, as swinging is part of baseball, walking is part of golf...
if the courses dont allow carts... no carts.. you cant bend the rules for everything, i may be sounding like a bigotish jerk here, but i havent slept in two days and cant keep my mouth shut... lol
