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?

I understand special needs and people can play golf but let be honest here. Fist my wife can't stand I have to actually lift out of the car and shift her into her wheelchair. As I said before I see golf carts parked in handicap zones with a tag and have seen the owners walk either to or from their golf carts. These are not special golf carts, and they're filled with clubs. The tags have a wheelchair on them not golf clubs. The handicap spots have a space to accommodate a wheelchair and no curbs.
