80%* of the VEHICLES around here have handicap plates around here anyway which means 80%* of the golfers qualify so not sure how new rule would help. Probably will be more who now are aware!

Disclaimer: I don't play golf but I always wondered why so many carts are all over the fairways here and right up to the greens. Never noticed that up north on the local county courses when we went to the park.

*Please note the 80% number I used above was just pulled out of the, errr, AIR and was not meant to have any basis in reality. Sorry if that caused any users any discomfort by thinking it was an actual statistic!
