And you would be wrong in that assumption.
I occasionally play golf with someone who is handicapped. He can walk a few steps to the tee, but he's allowed to drive his cart (with special tires) up to the edge of the green. Then, he can walk the few steps to finish putting out.
Yes, he can swing a club and hit the ball well, but his heart issues won't allow him to walk all over the course, especially on the Exec courses...
It warms my heart that he can still play at his age and physical status...
I've also seen wheelchair confined players on the golf course.
Should they be denied handicap plates?
