They do have a handicap tag hanging, but my view is if your healthy enough to play golf, you should be able to walk a few more steps to where you're going. With my wife I'm not worried about the distance, but the handicap spots allow more space to maneuver a wheelchair.
I play golf, 9 holes when I’m able. So should I not golf what I can because I’m handicapped? People are mad because they can’t park close. Some get cards so they don’t get car dings.
