NBGA CART POLICY
Except when specifically permitted by the NBGA Rules Committee, automotive transportation is prohibited. In an effort to accommodate, the NBGA can allow, in exceptional circumstances, use of a power cart or other special equipment by a player who otherwise qualified for an amateur event and cannot, in the opinion of the Rules Committee of the competition, participate in such a competition because of a serious permanent physical impairment. Such use can be denied if the Rules Committee believes that the use of such a power cart, or other special equipment, would give a player an undue advantage over other players in the competition.)
A current medical certificate along with a letter describing the disability and explaining the player's needs, must be submitted at the time of entry filing.
