Golf Canada will evaluate each individual request to use motorized transportation in Golf Canada’s

such requests, it is necessary to submit medical documentation setting forth the exact nature of the disability
and how that disability prevents such player from walking during a stipulated round. In addition, players will
have to submit sufficient information to enable Golf Canada to determine that providing a cart would not
provide a player with an advantage over other players. Please visit www.golfcanada.ca to download via Adobe
Acrobat Reader a copy Golf Canada's Transportation Request Form, which each player seeking a golf cart
due to a disability must complete and submit to Golf Canada with the original entry form prior to the
