Sounds strange. For general play, I though golf courses would be only to keen to rent out a buggy. Hard to imagine these three courses genuinely only give out buggies to people with a medical certificate. Either loads of people have a certificate, or they only have a couple of buggies and so don't have enough to go around?No competition, just general play. Tourist golf package. A couple of Royal courses.
This is a typical sports injury--I've had them treated in the past. But can't get them treated here. I've been told if it hurts, stop walking.
Have you tried contacting the club directly? I would have thought that, if you explained your situation personally, they could surely help you out? Maybe the general statement is just to try and discourage fit and healthy people using buggies, meaning others that need them can get them. I'd be surprised if they continued to demand a certificate, doesn't seem like a good business decision if it means you can't play at all. Wasting a doctors time seems unnecessary (do doctors charge for such things, especially in the US)?
