HamShanker:

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.

According to the report on GC.....Casey only played 41 events before retiring to take a coaching position in Oregon.

 

If the Ken Venturi situation was to be repeated are you honestly saying Martin wouldn't have a distinct advantage. Venturi was hardly able to walk up the final hole with Arnie.

   To sit in a cart for 8 miles while the other guy walks in 100 degree heat and humidity is no advantage?  Martin knows this is possible, so he's a cheat.

   Jack and Arnie believed it to be an advantage.  How could it not be? 

1. If Casey felt he was trying to seek employment with his disability, and  he used the courts decision to allow him to work with his disability, then that is not cheating. It has been more than 14 years since that issue was resolved in the courts and it has not been overturned. Get over it.

2.  I never said that it wasn't an advantage.

3.. Later information on proper hydration suggests to drink fluids and not take salt pillls. Recent opinions suggests that was part of Ken's issues.

4. I refuse to argue with someone that uses an adjective modifying a verb and implies they have some writing skill. So this is addressed to WritesWell.

You are not arguing . To argue you need to produce something of substance. Let me know when you do.

   PS Writes Well would not produce the intended anagram.  You may need to Google what an anagram is.

I'd be thinking Jack and Arnie know a bit more about the game than some unelected judges.

Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer have said that using a cart would give Martin an advantage and undermine a basic part of the game. On Tuesday, a few other golfers echoed that sentiment.

"Walking six miles a day six days a week is part of the deal," said tour veteran, Steve Pate. "If you don't think we're a sport, then a part of my premise is gone. But I think we are.

"In sports, everybody brings their own strengths and weaknesses to the game and whoever can overcome their weaknesses and maximize their strengths is going to do well. It's maybe not fair, but I just think it's the way it should be," Pate said.

Casey Martin qualified for the U.S. Open at Olympic. He finished T-23 there in 1998 while riding a cart:
