Quite possibly both of them because astute golfers consider their bag men as rally drivers do their navigators.
When Lee, who possesses a wicked sense of humour from the time I met him as an astonishingly adroit teenage amateur in Hawke's Bay, tees off at 11.26pm today in the British Open he will no doubt be much wiser for his experience.
Who said or didn't ask is something the pair will address from the tee to the 19th hole from now on after enduring the pain of the costly one-stroke penalty.
But what happens when there's a colossal stuff up that leaves an entire New Zealand under-23 football team high and dry?
The Kiwis were expelled from the Olympic qualification competition in Papua New Guinea last week after an Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) disciplinary committee upheld a protest from Vanuatu that the Oly Whites had fielded an ineligible defender, Deklan Wynne, in their semifinal match.
South Africa-born Wynne's perceived eligibility or otherwise under Fifa statutes had robbed the Oly Whites of a final berth against Fiji, who beat Vanuatu in the final on penalty kicks to advance to the Rio Olympics next year as the OFC representatives.
A litigious game will ensue now, overshadowing the park proceedings with a litany of legal jargon, pertaining to articles 5 and 7, in the dimly-lit international courtrooms where lawyers from both parties will eventually emerge lucrative winners.
Conspiracy theorists are already making ludicrous suggestions about how it is payback time for OFC after NZ Football voted against outgoing Fifa boss Sepp Blatter amid allegations of corruption.
I say stop the madness and eat humble pie for what blatantly reeks of an administrative blunder.
The untold sums of money NZ Football will pour into its appeal should instead be invested wisely.
It's pointless trying to become bush lawyers in scrutinising articles 5 and 7 to ascertain who is at fault in the Oly Whites saga. Those culpable should have been named and relieved of any other such duties pending further education and training.
Deeming the criteria straightforward, former All White Sam Malcolmson reportedly sums it up appropriately: "Was the player born in the country of New Zealand? Obviously not.
"Was his mother and dad born in New Zealand? Obviously not.
"[Were] any of his grandparents born in New Zealand? Obviously not.
"So then it's five years from the age of 18 to become eligible to play for your country and Deklan obviously doesn't meet any of those rules."
NZ Football chief executive Andy Martin says the whole debacle is embarrassing but that simply doesn't cut it.
The national body, fans and players, especially those who have the last chance to become Olympians as under-23 representatives, should be hopping mad. Those culpable should be booted from office to ensure that it doesn't happen again, considering All Whites coach Anthony Hudson is forever scouting talent in the most obscure parts of the world to find a hint of lineage.
Are Vanuatu the villains in the sorry saga?
No, because even social hackers on the park on Saturday will quietly make a mental note of any perceived flaws in an opposition team before lodging a protest to Central Football.
Island nations dream of making any big-time footy so it's fair game to them to progress by "hook or by crook".
The onus should never be on the opposing teams to play their cards to defend flaws.
NZ Football should leave no stones unturned in verifying the authenticity of players with foreign history.
That NZ Football had an avenue to seek clearance from Fifa on Wynne, even if he didn't meet the full criteria, but failed to explore it is unforgivable.
Martin's argument on what Wynne accomplished in New Zealand is futile because every player is subject to Fifa eligibility rules.
Fifa has ruled its disciplinary committee will not intervene, according to rules, so OFC will preside over any appeals.
It's funny how sport used to be so uncomplicated.
Nowadays rules and technicalities are no different to a winning team running down the clock in the dying minutes.
