As children, my brother and I used to consider whether heroes like Amitabh Bachchan and sporting ones like Sunil Gavaskar also had to answer nature’s call.

Imagine teeing it up on the par-3 16th at TPC Scottsdale when the raucous crowd falls dead silent. You go through your pre-shot routine, stand over it, and swing. The ball misses the green.
