The PGA tour vs. Martin case has been quite interested might I add. There have been a plethora of great arguments on both sides for both issues. Arguments such as whether Casey Martin’s disability warrants an adjustment to the rules of Golf at the highest level. Or by allowing Martin the use of a golf cart provides him an advantage and would fundamentally alter the nature of the tournament. Or the fact that Title 3 covers any person who is present at a place of public accommodation, whatever he or she is doing there, whether they are a customer, an employee or an independent contractor. Those are just a few of the best arguments presented in the PGA tour vs. Martin case.
To begin with, the question presented by Justice Scouter early in the argument asking H. Bartow III “Why doesn't it literally fall within that quite easily?” referring to those who have paid their 3,000 dollars and have gotten two references should enjoy the privilege of competing at this place of public accommodation. This very question I believe was most helpful because it forced Bartow to start there and try to explain why he feels as though Martin is receiving an act of good and service opposed to exercising a privilege. The most relevant question was asked by Justice Breyer when Mr. Farr was making the case that because what Respondent in fact does for a living is something that other people do for recreational purposes or part of educational purposes. So Justice Breyer asked “So, given the purpose of

over 55% of amateur athletes worldwide, and just over 30% of professional competitors in their desired sport. In the article, “Evidence of Choking Under Pressure on the PGA Tour,” authors Brett Wells and John Skowronski take a look at how pressure builds going from the first round through to the final fourth round of any PGA Tour event. Professional play “Gary Player” said, “When the body fails or is weary, and that shot into a howling gale seems impossible, it is the mind that enables a player…

symbolic and one of the best golf courses in the world. Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods both rated their Open wins at St Andrews as their greatest achievements in golf. However, it is not just Scotland and St Andrews that is a landmark in golf. The first PGA tournament was held in 1916 and in 1934 the Augusta Masters was created by Bobby Jones, and ever since 1949 a green jacket has been awarded to every year’s winner. This still remains the most famous golfing prize in the world and is the dream of many…

Woods is right up there at the top of the list of not only professional golfers, but professional athletes everywhere. Tiger is arguably on his way to being the greatest and most dominant athlete in the history of any sport. He has already won 79 PGA Tour events, including 14 major championships, both of those are second all time. And he isn’t even 40 years old yet. Tiger made the sport of golf more popular than ever and has changed the game in many ways, both good and bad. Eldrick “Tiger” Woods…
title on newspapers as the general public wouldn’t believe that women could defeat men in football. This would promote women in sport. More funding goes towards men than women in sport. The total prize money for the PGA tour is $256,000 which is just for men compared to the Ladies PGA tour and the winner receives only $50,000. This shows that not all professional sports have equal prize money for both sexes. TV barely shows any sportswomen showing off their talent. There should be more equal coverage…
Jonathan Carroll Professor: Andrew Crowthe Individual Project 2: History of Golf 4/22/13 According to Author Mick Euan Tait, “Golf was invented on the eastern coast of Scotland in the late 15th century. Players of the game started to hit small stones around on a flat but very hilly course with man size sand bunkers and rabbit holes. That is why most people believe Scottish and English people created the great game of Golf.” In 1421, Scotland had a lot of different sports that include…
