CADDIE CARTS – ADA POLICY

U.S. Kids Golf Foundation adheres to the following policies and requirements with respect to the treatment of caddies with disabilities and the use of motorized golf carts.

Any caddie seeking special accommodation under the ADA at a U.S. Kids Golf event must present a valid, state-issued, permanent handicap placard/identification card. Individuals must present their permanent documentation to the Tournament Director, prior to the event, in order to receive permission to use a golf cart. Documentation can be emailed to [email protected] with pertinent event details, in which the cart is to be used. Caddies will not receive a cart unless they present their official placard. An individual must also have their placard present at each tournament they wish to be granted access.

All approved caddie disability carts may be rented from the golf course and such transportation will be subject to the following regulations:

1. Those with approved caddie disability carts will be given a cart flag and cart sign, as a signal to staff and competitors that caddie cart use has been approved by U.S. Kids Golf. Sign and flag must be displayed at all times.

2. The cart may accommodate only approved riders.

3. The cart shall be driven only on areas of the golf course approved by the tournament director and/or the golf course staff.

4. Caddies with approved carts must follow the same rules of etiquette that apply to all caddies and must operate their carts in a manner that is not distracting to competitors or other spectators. The equipment must be operated in a safe and courteous manner.
