COLD LOGIC will trump gooey sentiment when the Supreme Court decides the Casey Martin case. Sorry, but I find absurd the notion that a disabled person should be accommodated in pro sports, the most Darwinian arena of all. If walking a golf course for 72 holes doesn't require some degree of fitness, why do we consider the U.S. Open wins of Ben Hogan and Ken Venturi so heroic, and why are all those tour pros in the fitness trailer?
