Casey Martin Vs. The PGA
0Last week, a federal judge ruled that golfer Casey Martin—who is afflicted with a circulatory disorder that makes it painful for him to walk—may use a motorized golf cart during PGA competition. The PGA contends that the use of a cart constitutes an unfair advantage, and plans to appeal the decision. What do you think?
“I am shocked that the sport of golf would be associated with this sort of exclusivity and discrimination.”
