As a result of his physical disabilty, Casey Martin should be permitted to use a motorized golf cart on the PGA Tour. In addition, the prohibition on the use of golf carts should be removed. It is quoted that Martin has "a heart three times too big and a leg two times too small" (Reilly). He suffers from Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrom, a degenerative disoder in whis right leg. His leg would literally snap if her were to have to walk an entire golf course: he needs a golf cart. He does not want to have an advantage; he simply wants a fair chance at winning. According to the Americans with Disabilities Act he deserves a fair chance. He is neither breaking tradition nor breakin any rules. After all, the majority of golf spectators are not at a game to watch the players walk or move from hole to hole, they are there to watch the players swing the club. People with no heart and consideration, such as Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklausfeel that he should have to alk. Have they no feelings for others? They can see that Martin is barely able to walk and they are more concerned with "sticking to the rules." They are ingibitin an individual's process of earning a living. With such a disorder, the only aspect of his life that keeps him going is his dream to play golf. Every other player who is solely concerned with winning should be completely emabarrassed and ashamed. Martin is a man with a dream to play and he should be given the best opportunity to accomplish this feat. If the opposition is going to argue that it is "unfair" and an "advantage" then why not simply remove the ban on golf carts all together? It would be a great deal easier to settle the controversy if every player were allowed to use a cart. Thus, Casey Martin would not be an alteration of the official rules, rather, the standar. Even still, history has shown that all major sports have in some way adjusted their policies for certain players with similar situation...
