You're a better extractor than I, Gunga-Jon. I couldn't make any sense
of it at all. But I only saw "infamous round of golf" quoted somewhere
on line. I didn't hear it or read the accompanying article and my own
reading,

"round of golf with the infamous Tiger Woods,"

wherein "infamous" has its usual meaning, seemed very unlikely, in context.
