Default Reasonable Access (RA) Card

Golfers with some medical conditions can obtain what is called a Reasonable Access Card which allows them to drive to their ball and close, but not on, the green on both executive and championship courses. We didn't know that there was such a thing for a while until one of the starters at Glenview suggested that my husband obtain one. There are a couple of reasons for this: 1) the limitations of the golfer and 2) it speeds up play. You must pick up an application at the golf administration office and have it signed by a physician. If course conditions warrant, such as following heavy rains, then even these golfers must adhere to the cart path only rule on all holes. My husband has one because of his stroke. He still plays to a 20 handicap, just doesn't move as fast as he used to. (This does not allow him to drive me to my ball, though, so keep that in mind. Each golfer needing the pass must obtain one for themselves. Tags are issued on a daily basis from the starters and are placed on the windshield area of the cart on whichever side or sides the RA golfer or golfers sit.) Hope this info helps.
