Mark Herrmann: Why John Daly's golf cart exemption for PGA Championship seems off course

Some things just shouldn't be seen. Ketchup on hot dogs, white pants before Memorial Day, black socks with sandals and golf carts on the Black Course.

The latter one really rankles people who believe that a large part of Bethpage Black's challenge is making it through all 18 holes on foot. As all Long Island public course golfers know, carts are never allowed on the Black.

Except this one week, for one golfer. John Daly, 53, has been granted permission to ride rather than walk during the PGA Championship under terms of the Americans with Disabilities Act. This is on par, legally, but it doesn't sit well with everyone in the game, particularly the most notable player.
