Casey Martin Case Summary

He is arguably the one individual in our lifetime that transformed his sport. With his presence, the sport of golf became popular and was no longer a ratings buster on television, and became a sport more young kids wanted to get involved in.

Casey Anthony vs. The State of Florida The controversial case of Casey Anthony and death of Caylee Marie Anthony is one of the most remembered and talked about cases in the past 20 years. This case occurred in Orlando, Florida in which Casey Anthony was accused of first degree murder of a child, which was her own daughter. It was widely believed that she used duct tape and chloroform to cover the mouth of her innocent child, killing her and the attempting to hide her deceased body.

Here, Martin suffers from a degenerative circulatory disorder, was otherwise qualified to play golf in the tournament, but was excluded because his disability made him unable to walk the course. Allowing Martin to use a golf cart in these circumstances would be a reasonable accommodation. The court ordered PGA to permit Martin to use a cart. PGA appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, which affirmed the order of the lower court. PGA appealed to the United States Supreme Court, which affirmed the lower court’s decision, ruling that a golf cart is a reasonable accommodation for a disabled athlete. PGA argued that making an exception to its “walking” rule would “fundamentally alter the sport of golf.” The Supreme Court disagreed, stating that the “use of a cart is not inconsistent with the fundamental charac­ter of the game of golf,” PGA’s tours, or the third stage of the Q-School. Golf is defined by “shot-making,” not by walking. The Court explained that the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is applied case by case. In other words, “the needs of a disabled person are evalu­ated on an individual basis.” Thus, in this case, “even if petitioner’s factual predicate is accepted, its legal posi­tion is fatally flawed because its refusal to consider Martin’s personal circum­stances in deciding whether to accommodate his disability runs counter to the ADA’s requirement that an individualized in­quiry be conducted.”

The recent criminal trial that involved the victim Kallie Anthony and the accused, her mother, Casey Anthony was certainly filled with both determinism as well as free will accusations. What was lost in what became a sideshow or no more than a soap opera for some people was the tragic death of an innocent child that was no more than two (2) years old. After a lengthy criminal trail Ms. Anthony was ultimately found not guilty of the crimes in which she was accused after less than eleven (11) hours of deliberation of a jury of her peers (Hayes, 2011, para. 1)

Casey Martin is a professional golfer with a congenital, degenerative circulatory disorder. This makes walking painful for him and exposes him to more serious injuries. Martin filed a lawsuit against the PGA when his request for use a golfcart during a PGA sponsored tour was denied. The PGA ruled that there was an established “walking rule” that required all the golfers to walk. Martin claimed in his suit that the walking rule violated the Adults with Disability Act (ADA).

The Casey Anthony trial was the main topic of many national news stations social media networks for a long time. The case followed Casey Anthony, who was charged with first degree murder for the death of her daughter, Caylee. For over two months, the trial captured the hearts of thousands of people.

On July 15, 2008, Casey Anthony reported her daughter, Caylee Anthony, missing. Casey Anthony claimed their “Zanny” kidnapped her daughter, but it was soon uncovered that they did not have a nanny to begin with. Weeks later, remains were found in a wooded area not far from their house. The forensics discovered that the remains were in fact Caylee. Not long after, Casey was arrested for child endangerment and was a suspect in the murder of her two-year old daughter. Casey claimed her daughter accidentally drowned in their swimming pool and as a result, she became panic-stricken and was unsure of what to do resulting with her “pretending” that her daughter never actually drowned. The prosecution believed Casey drugged her daughter with chloroform

Martin would have an advantage on the other professionals during tournament play. The fatigue is the largest affect that could prevent a player from making a good shot or a bad one. By allowing Martin to drive it would alter the highest level of competition in the biggest golf tournaments. The PGA argues that Title III is about discrimination against "patrons and customers" seeking to obtain "goods and services" at public areas. Additionally, Title I protects people that work in places and during the tournaments and this falls more in a place of exhibition or entertainment. Mr. Martin as a golfer is like an actor providing entertainment. The issue is that he is not able to claim Title III, since not a customer, but Casey Martin felt that he is an employee and entitled to title I under a discrimination venue, but since he is classified as an independent contractor, Title I was does not apply.

This case was a very disturbing one because it involves a small but innocence child who hadn’t even begin to live her life. Before she was heartlessly taken away from her family. This case started off with a lot of lies and many questions about the whereabouts of Caylee Anthony. It was first stated that she was with a nanny in which later they were told Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzales the nanny in question kidnapped Caylee. It was found that she didn’t even know Casey Anthony and Casey Anthony did not know of her either. The next statement that was made is that she drowned at their home pool. Later it was discovered that Caylee Anthony was ducted taped and placed into a laundry bag and put into the truck of Casey Anthony’s car where Caylee was

MILLERSBURG — Holmes County commissioners on Monday took the first step toward placing a sales tax increase on the November ballot.

The critical component of this action is its ramifications. A number of separate entities in a plethora of industries had to come up with accommodations to ensure that they were in compliance with this act once it became law. There are five main aspects of ADA (Linthicum, 1991, p. 1) which include ramifications specific to telecommunications (Title IV), public facilities (Title III), public entities and transportation (Title II), and employment (Title I). All of these disparate industries must come up with means in which those with disabilities can still utilize their products and services. For instances, ADA mandates that telephone companies

Tiger Woods has been hailed as one of the greatest golfers, if not athletes, of all time. He has trumped other golfers and sports observers for the past 19 years as he has climbed and prevailed in the golf world. Tiger’s success has been accredited to many factors in his life, and has varied throughout the years having his ups and downs. The purpose of this paper is to give a valid argument as to why Tiger Woods could possibly be the greatest golfer of all time.

Harrington’s career started at age 15 when he played his first golf tournament, but he had started playing golf at age 5. Padraig chose this career because he fell in love with the sport, he liked calculating and rerunning his thoughts on how he was going to hit his golf ball to land closer to the putt hole. He also had to pay attention to where and how fast the direction of the wind was headed to make his swing more accurate. Padraig’s love for golf has helped not only himself, but scientists calculate how his “Happy Gilmore” technique travels far in a perfectly legal swing.

Many antagonists toward the sport think that playing golf involves no real rigorous physical activity. Burning 360 calories per hour playing golf without a cart or caddie is far less than the number of calories burned per hour in competitive sports: 900 in soccer, and 727 in football, basketball, and tennis. Nearly half of the maximum calories burned while playing golf are from walking the course and carrying the clubs, but the US Supreme Court ruled that walking is not an essential aspect of golf. In PGA Tour v. Martin (2001), the justices ruled 7-2 that the pro tour had to allow a golfer with a disability to use a golf cart because it would not "fundamentally alter the nature" of the activity. Using a cart while playing golf reduces the number
