Nobody is kidding anyone.  This is a real case.  Casey Martin is a
professional golfer, that is what he does.  The golf course is his
workplace, and "reasonable accommodation" - a golf cart - is not
unreasonable on the face of it.  If they feel its an advantage, make
carts available to the whole field!  I am sure it would cut down on the
interminable shots of some pro slowing walking up the 18th to make his
final putt.

I think its a mistake to consider the law only applies to the worst off
of the disabled.  It should be simply a cost of doing business, without
having to wring pity from the hearts of onlookers, to be accommodated.
The day the White House needs a wheelchair ramp or a TTY to accommodate
the President, we will know we have won.
