Golf cart an advantage? Not in my book!  Should carts be permitted under special circumstances....YES!  Players with a disability should be encouraged to pursue (or continue to pursue) professional golf.  It's not how YOU get to the hole......it's how the BALL gets there.  Players like Casey Martin and Eric Compton should be permitted use of a golf cart IF they feel it is necessary. The Champions Tour permits them assuming that all pros over 50 have the need  solely due to their age. 

You point is only valid if everyone has the option to ride. That makes it fair for everyone.

You may claim to "writes good" but golly you can't "read good"!! 

A guy who has ridden a cart for 35 holes in 100 degrees has no advantage over a guy who has walked 35 holes in 100 degrees.

   Sure thing! :)

    Casey Martin took his argument for using golf carts and prevailed before the U.S. Supreme Court.   Kindly name the"left wing pinko liberal democratic judges" on the U.S. Supreme Court that ruled on Casey's behalf with their interpretation of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Let's see if I have this right, Martin files a case against the PGA Tour with the EEO and based on a decision gets into District Court, the Court of Appeals and finally under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Supreme Court he won.  

So,  Casey won his case before the U.S. Supreme Court and the majority of that court's justices were/are "left wing pinko" judges.    Which means, the Affordable Care Act will be upheld this session by the U.S. Supreme Court?     Right?      lol

The Supreme Court in 1997-98, as it is today, had a majority conservative views.  I remember at the time that Jack Nicklaus and I believe Arnie, testified for the PGA tour that riding a cart would be an advantage for a golfer.  I'm not sure it really helped Casey very much because he was not very successful on the pga tour; but to say that Casey was cheating is really unfair and a failure to accept the law of the land.
