Procedures for Requesting a Golf Cart in WTNGA AMATEUR Championship

The WTNGA will evaluate, on a case-by-case basis, any request to use a cart in THE WTNGA Amateur Championship due to a claimed disability. In order for the WTNGA to properly evaluate such requests, it is necessary to submit medical documentation setting forth the exact nature of the disability and how that disability prevents such player (or caddie) from walking during a stipulated round. In addition, players will have to submit information sufficient to enable the WTNGA to determine that providing a cart would not provide a player with an advantage over other players. To download (via Adobe Acrobat Reader) a copy of the WTNGA’s cart request form entitled, 'Information to be Supplied by anyone Claiming a Disability Seeking to use a Cart in the WTNGA Championship', please click on the Form Title at the bottom of this page. Each player seeking a golf cart for herself or a caddie due to a disability under the ADA must complete and submit the form to the WTNGA simultaneously with the original entry application.

In each instance where an applicant is submitting a request for a golf cart, BOTH the WTNGA Championship entry application and the cart request form (including the required medical documentation as specified on the cart request form) must be submitted to the WTNGA by the player (not a caddie) in writing in a single envelope and received by the WTNGA by no later than the date the Championship entry application is due. Such information should be sent to the WTNGA to the attention of Tina Sanders, 12212 Oakmont Circle, Knoxville, TN 37934. The WTNGA will not evaluate requests submitted via telephone or over the internet or without all required documentation having been submitted in its entirety as part of a single submission.

Any player wishing to receive permission for her caddie to use a golf cart must submit a cart request form and the required medical documentation at the same time the player submits her entry application. THE WTNGA WILL NOT ACCEPT REQUESTS DIRECTLY FROM CADDIES.

Please note that requests due to “temporary” injuries or impairments that do not qualify as a “disability” under the ADA will NOT be granted. For your information, a disability protected by the ADA is “a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of the major life activities of such individual.” 42 U.S.C.S. paragraph 12102 (2001).
