One of the major issues on a democratic country is the
discrimination of a person on the basis of disability. A
"disability" is a permanent physical or mental impairment (like
sight, hearing, speech, walking, breathing, motor skills, but
not temporary sprains, breaks, or diseases) that substantially
limits any major life activities, including learning, recreation
and working. Under the Americans with Disabilities (ADA) of
1990, more than 43 million Americans qualify as disabled, as
noted by the Forbes Magazine.
The ADA was adopted to remove the barriers that have prevented
society from benefiting from the participation and contributions
of individuals with disabilities. Many states have also adopted
and enforce versions of the federal ADA. The ADA replaced a
collection of barrier-free site design initiatives making
disables access to employment, goods and/or services on an equal
basis with the rest of the general public, a civil right.
Now, regarding to Walter Olsons post at

March 4, 2005, he had noted a series of scenarios and news
bulletin which may cause a disabled golfer to file a complaint

Olson may have been concerned or bothered at the following
concerns:
Says Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail in Tuscaloosa won't provide
free golf carts. The National Golf Course Owners Association
maintains a page on ADA issues and compliance. At Cybergolf,
Jeffrey D. Brauer ("Must golf courses accommodate wheelchair
golfers?" undated) discusses the impact of wheelchair-access
regulation on golf course design: "The golf industry at first
feared that ADA might outlaw contoured greens and fairways, and
possibly sand bunkers, to achieve disabled access.
Well all I can say is that, didnt they know that golf courses,
including most private clubs, must provide a wide variety of
disabled individuals with reasonable accommodation? And
reasonable accommodation is defined as one that does not present
an undue burden or alter the fundamental nature of the activity.
Through complaints and litigation, golf facilities must:
Allow wheelchair access anywhere carts are permitted, with
similar limitations regarding specific weather conditions
Erect rope barriers that don't eliminate access, but mildly
inconveniencing disabled golfers is permissible. Provide
access to all courses, not just one, at multiple-course
facilities Make all new and renovation work ADA-compliant, but
there is no reconstruction required solely to satisfy ADA.
Make parking lots, practice facilities and buildings accessible.
This has affected parking lots, walkways and two-story
clubhouses, which often require an elevator to accommodate any
job needing access to both floors.
Now if you will be setting up a golf club that took you a lot of
worth and money, you must consider all options in setting it up.
Would you risk investing more to accommodate even disabled
persons or risk your reputation because of your non-compliance
with ADA rulings and having wheelchair-bound golfers sue you for
discrimination. Think that over, folks.
