Carts for Everyone!

[AKDejaVu]

 

So... the next time someone asks for a cart, it's going to go to the Supreme Court to decide if they deserve it or not?

Nope.. its already gone to the supreme court.  That's the PGA's fault.  They could have stopped a legal precident but chose to burry their heads in the sand anyways.

And Nash, the basic game has not been changed in any way.  Only the most suprifulous aspect of it.

With rowing, it would be comparitive to someone with no hand being allowed to use a prosthetic attatchment to hold onto the oar.  Or with baseball, it would allow a one armed pitcher to not wear his glove until after the ball was thrown.  Or with hockey, it would allow a player to wear a mouthpeice in order to protect his dentures.

Golf is Golf.  The Supreme Court determined that golf  isn't walking... it is golfing.  I suppose if they were also required to carry their own bags, it would be different... but they aren't because they are so lazy that they feel simply walking 6 miles is pretty major.  Hell.. I walk more than that 6 days a week just going from my desk to the fab and back.

Oh.. I forgot to mention... they are taking 3 1/2 hours to walk those 6 (actually less) miles.

The PGA understands that golf is a game of millimeters and milliradians. Any difference in your swing, however slight, can affect your game. Even Tiger has stated that he's happy for his friend because he now gets to participate but at the same time he is concerned that this will lead to a drastic change in the PGA tour.

The PGA isn't worried about Martin. They are worried about the cases that will come now that the precendent has been set. You can bet that each of the professional sports are looking at their policies to determine how this new precedent may affect their game.

It's no longer about Martin and his handicap or whether he alone will affect the tour.

7-2 ruling, wasn't it?

Who were the "2"?

"Justice Antonin Scalia wrote the dissent, joined by fellow conservative Justice Clarence Thomas."

Sandman, FD Ski.... your new heroes?

***Off topic***

Is it just me, or does anyone else find Clarence Thomas' performance on the Supreme Court to be somewhat... lacking?

Two questions for anyone that might know:

Has he yet to ask a question of anyone while on the bench? (Last I heard was still no, but this could have changed).

Has he ever given a ruling (vote, opinion, verdict, whatever) that differed from Scalia's? (This would be very interesting).

Bingo!  Now, do you think that someone would have went to the supreme court saying that walking that far made their back hurt and they should be able to take a cart... and won?  I don't.  Now they don't have to.

The PGA should have made an exception at the time for the first extreme situation they've had to encounter.  This wasn't an injury, it was a disability... a severe one.

Now, they have vague wording from the supreme court to endure.

Its their own fault for having no foresight.  I really don't understand how this decision and its implications are a suprise to anyone.

FD,

Which two Justices basically agree with your opinion?

Well as a person who enjoys swinging the clubs every now and again I would just like to say that it is absolutely ridiculous that the girl in the beer cart doesnt follow my cart around to every hole.  I mean, really, how in the hell is a man supposed to be able to perform at his highest when that damn beer girl only shows up every 3 or 4 holes?

Who do I need to sue to get this fixed?
