So you said no to Galfisk's "peeing" but yes to using the bathroom...so does that mean a number two, then? Is the difference there relevant? Because of the amount of time involved?

So a man was golfing in a tournament, but suddenly needed to use the bathroom, so he got in a golf cart, which was against the rules for a player to do during the tournament, and drove to the clubhouse to relieve himself. In so doing, he was penalized with some additional strokes added to his score. Missing anything?

***** SPOILER *****

Scott Laycock was penalized two shots in the Sony Open for accepting a ride in a cart to the nearest bathroom. Nature called for him on the second tee and the nearest bathroom was a hike away. Laycock didn't think he would make it in time, so he took a golf cart ride to the area. Players are not permitted to ride in carts during tournament rounds unless it's an "emergency." Since Scott did not have diarrhea, the tour official decided that Scott's predicament didn't qualify as one and penalized him. "That did give me diarrhea," Laycock joked afterward.
