Motion Sickness

Okay so as some of you may know I work at a golf course part-time during the summer. Yesterday and today was one of our big women's tournaments. Yesterday went well except for being extremely hot, but today was classic. As we were loading participant's golf clubs onto their carts, this one women approaches our assistant pro and tells him that she has motion sickness and has to drive her own golf cart. Unfortunately we didn't have any extra carts. She was in a foursome with two of our members who own their own carts so we were using theirs. She proceeded to start the tournament in her foursome and after playing four holes withdrew because she was sick from not being able to drive her own cart. We were told by one of the other people playing in her group. Needless to say, we were totally amazed and a little amused by it. This woman has serious issues apparently. She came down into the proshop and proceeded to rant and rave at our golf pro about how she couldn't believe that she paid for this tournament and a cart and couldn't get her own. How it wasn't fair that just because she has this illness, she was being penalized. How we were forcing her to stop playing golf. She was almost in tears. Now I know that motion sickness is real and that people do get carsick, airsick, and seasick. I have been seasick and airsick myself at times. However what gets me is that she has motion sickness from riding in a golf cart! A golf cart which goes oh let's say 15 mph tops! You have got to be kidding! I am still laughing about this one!
