Use of powered golf carts

[p***@sky.com]

In wet weather our club bans the use of the club's own golf carts but permits the use of individual powered carts to those with a medical certificate. This is on the grounds of unspecified "equality legislation" or " disability law". I would have thought that when conditions are such that damage is caused to the course by such vehicles then their use could be prohibited without infringing anyone's legal rights. Can anyone put me right?

I'm not sure of the legal aspects but quite frankly I'm not sure why clubs
bother to ban trolleys when the greenkeepers machines make more damage than
all the trolleys put together!
