NBC golf commentator David Feherty tells
a charming little story about the time he met Keith Richards.
Here's a direct YT link to the clip.
More on the Scottish Open story alluded to in the linked article...
In 1986, he won the Scottish Open, the biggest victory of his career. "They handed me the trophy-a big-ass silver cup," Feherty says. "The oldest trophy in all of sport. I drank all sorts of crap from it. I woke up two days later on the 16th tee at Gleneagles, which makes no sense, because I won the tournament in Glasgow [45 miles away]. I opened my eyes to see blue skies and Peter Gant, the road manager for Led Zeppelin. I hadn't seen him in ages. He's saying, 'You all right?' And the trophy's gone. Just f--in' gone. They never did find it. That was a low point."

We were on the 17th tee at St. Andrew's when the drugs began to take effect. I remember saying something like "I feel a bit light-headed; perhaps you should drive ..."

Then there was that time Keith threatened to knife Donald Trump.

I'm not sure I'd even notice Keith Richards at a party if Peter Cook was there too.

One more in an endless example of why Keith cannot be killed by conventional weapons.
