Except when specifically permitted by the GAO Rules Committee, competitors shall walk at all times during a stipulated round. The optional condition as prescribed in Appendix 1 of the Rules of Golf shall be in effect. In an effort to accommodate, the GAO can allow, in exceptional circumstances, use of a power cart or other special equipment by a competitor who cannot, in the opinion of the Rules Committee, participate in this competition because of a serious permanent physical impairment. Use can be denied if the Rules Committee believes the use of such a power cart, or other special equipment, would give a competitor an undue advantage over other competitors in the competition. A current medical certificate along with a letter describing the disability and explaining the competitors’ need must be submitted at the time of application filing. The “GAO Special Equipment Request Form” along with a current medical report must be submitted at the time of entry.
