Couldn't remember the name or exact circumstances.

I do remember many of the golfers being so sanctimonious and making noises like 'well, if h can't walk he is violating the rules blah, blah, blah' My recollection was that Tiger Woods was one of the worst, but am not sure.

That pretty well ended any golf I ever watched. That and Phil Mickelson.
