Oh, so the Martin case was some huge monumental ruling?The travesty is in its triviality.try to keep up, skippy
now could you tell me some of the other big travesties of the past 50 years.
this doesn't even rise to the level of the dh
get a grip, corndog
The old del would've figured that out by now.
no, the travesty is in your triviality.
even a newborn del could see that.
Back in 2001, a disabled professional golfer named Casey Martin ran afoul of a USGA rule prohibiting him from riding in a golf cart while playing professionally in golf tournaments. USGA rules required that all professional golfers walk during rounds. Casey sued the USGA, contending that his disability required him to ride in a cart or give up professional golf. The case got all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled 7-2 that Casey was right.
Casey is playing in the U.S. Open at The Olympic Club this week. He is riding in his cart.
Oh, you know that 7-2 ruling by the U.S. Supremes? Care to guess who the two dissenting justices were? That's right - those two, well known, compassionate conservatives, Scalia and Thomas.
The Casey Martin Case: The Supreme Court Takes Up Golf - TIME
Unlike baseball, football, or many other sports, walking or running is not part of the skills that create a good golf player. So why not allow people that have the ability to hit the ball far and accurately to ride a cart because their legs do not function that well? Sounds to me like assholes that just like to deny other people oppertunities denigrating their betters.

Why not allow women to play professional football? All we would have to do is change the rules so that there is less hitting. We could do the same thing in baseball, just have them move the pitcher's mound for the women.
Why not change the rules so kids can play?
They have exemptions from qualifying, as past champions....And they still walked.Former MLB major leaguers play in old-timer's sideshows too....It doesn't make them eligible to play in the World Series.
freddie finished tied for twelfth in the masters this year.
watson finished second in the open in '09.
i guess those don't count.
Even that fat tub of goo Craig Stadler managed to walk all of his tournaments.
DT's and all....
If I'm not mistaken, toward the end of his career, Babe Ruth would hit a home run and half-jog to first base, where a teammate would circle the rest of the bases for him.
Not in the minors.
Not in an Old-Timer's game.
In the Major Leagues.

Nobody whined to the courts to make Ruth run the bases.
try to keep up old man, the subject has moved on to how golfers on the champions tour aren't really golfers.
I would qualify based on age and my game would belong on the senior tour, but I would still walk, Martin cried foul and he knows its about walking 72 holes, twist it how ever you want to...
i'm sure that you'd just tear up the senior tour if you weren't so busy being a double naught spy.

make up your mind, fuckwit
But once you use that PR, the person he runs for is out of the game.If I'm not mistaken, toward the end of his career, Babe Ruth would hit a home run and half-jog to first base, where a teammate would circle the rest of the bases for him.

If I am not mistaken the rules in baseball allow pinch runners.
Just because they didn't doesn't mean they couldn't.He doesn't see any relevance because there is none.You don't understand the relevance of my post to what Oddball and del are arguing about?yes thats right. and?

That didn't happen with Ruth.
FAIL.
In the early days of baseball, when rosters were much more limited, there were courtesy runners in addition to pinch runners. A courtesy runner was put in when the normal runner was temporarily incapacitated by an injury. A courtesy runner had to be agreed by the opposite manager, and his presence in the game was not considered as an official substitution. He could therefore be used again once his running duty was completed, or could be a player already in the line-up, and the player for whom he ran would usually return to the game in the next half-inning. In contrast with pinch runners, courtesy runners tended to be slow base runners. The last courtesy runner in a Major League Game was used in 1949.
Still entirely irrelevant.Just because they didn't doesn't mean they couldn't.He doesn't see any relevance because there is none.You don't understand the relevance of my post to what Oddball and del are arguing about?
