Casey Martin, a professional golfer with a circulatory disorder that makes walking an 18-hole golf course painfully

Question:

Casey Martin, a professional golfer with a circulatory disorder that makes walking an 18-hole golf course painfully difficult, was successful in his Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act lawsuit against the PGA, and he was allowed to use a golf cart as a reasonable accommodation to the PGA rule requiring golfers on the professional tour to walk the course during professional rounds. Subsequently, Stephan Kuketz, a world-class wheelchair racquetball player, sued the Brockton Athletic Club under the ADA when the club refused to allow him to participate in non-handicapped tournaments, with the only adjustment to the rules being that he be allowed two bounces rather than one, before he hit the ball from his wheelchair. Did the Casey Martin accommodation fundamentally alter the golf competition? Did the Kuketz proposed accommodation fundamentally alter the racquetball competition? Decide. [Kuketz v Brockton Athletic Club, Boston Globe, August 30, 2001, B-1]
