Did Casey Martin lose a leg? My biggest bone of contention with the whole Casey Martin deal was that they said walking the course was an integral part of the game. What about carrying your bag? When the case was going on, my Grandmother could have walked a golf course, but strap a bag to her and she'd drop dead before she got to the first green. So I don't buy that bogus argument. If walking is integral, then make the players carry their own bag too. If it was speed golf, where you have to literally run after your ball, then no, he shouldn't get a cart. But once again, that is not the game the PGA plays.

I wrote a similar email to Jim Rome while this going on and it actually got read on air
