A limited number of golf carts are available at the state golf championships and are reserved for those spectators with documented disabilities. Completion of the Accommodation Request Form enables the TSSAA to consider a reasonable accommodation to eligible patrons with documented disabilities on a first-come, first-served basis considering both an individual’s request and an assessment of individual needs.
Spectators must submit a letter from their physician with a cart request using our secure Google form. The link to the form and a live count of requests received and actual cart availability is shown below.
Cart requests submitted prior to Friday, October 2 at Noon central time will receive a confirmation email in reply. If you do not receive a confirmation email before the tournament, you must bring a copy of the physician’s letter to the event.
Cart requests in excess of the number of available carts will be placed on a wait list. The size of the wait list is shown below. Unclaimed carts each day will be released to individuals whose requests were received the earliest, so it is important to provide a mobile phone number where you can be reached if a cart for you becomes available.
| Tournament | Carts Available | Requests Received | Wait List |
|---|---|---|---|
| Class A Tournament (Mon/Tue) | 36 | 51 | 15 |
| Class AA Tournament (Thu/Fri) | 36 | 41 | 5 |
The deadline to request a cart accommodation is Friday, October 2 at Noon central time.
If you have any questions please email Matthew Gillespie (mgillespie@tssaa.org) no later than Thursday prior to the championships.
The Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) requires reasonable accommodations at the TSSAA state golf tournament for individuals with disabilities. A “disability” is a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of the major life activities of the individual. Major life activities include such things as caring for one’s self, performing manual tasks, walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing, learning, and working. Whether a temporary impairment is a “disability” depends on the expected duration of the impairment and the extent to which it actually limits a major life activity of the individual. The question of whether a person has a disability must be determined without regard to mitigating measures or aids. In all cases, the reasonableness of a requested accommodation is determined on a case-by-case basis. By submitting this form to the TSSAA you are verifying that the information you are providing is true and accurate in all respects.
