I was on a steroid regimen back in the day. We didn't have hgh back then.
I did a 6 week on 6 week off deal for little over a year. I ate 6000 cal. a day.
I did recover really fast, and of course I was got pretty big. I was Mountain Bike racing and was planning on going pro.

Looking back it was one of the dumbest things I have ever done..I was lucky nothing happened to me.

I think that there are more long term consequences than there are short term benefits. Spend the money on a new wedge. Earn success on your own through hard work.

To me, achievement seems a lot less meaningful when it is so artificially manipulated. I almost feel the same about athletes who have access to multimillion dollar training regimens/facilities/trainers.

I think sports would be much more interesting if the preparation and performance stemmed from an even playing field.

What's in my bag:
Cleveland Hibore XLS Monster Driver
TourEdge Exotics 2,3,4 hybrid irons
Tommy Armour 845cs Silverbacks 5-PW
Assorted wedges, Ping Scottsdale Anser

I am not really refering to me, for I am 6'3 and 210 pounds of muscle... :)

It just seems that this is where professional sports in general is heading. Check out www.moredistance.com and tell me this cat is not juiced up. His veins look riduculous...

This could get out of hand quick.....

You guys need to make sure you fully understand what hgh, steroids do for the body, don't just listen to the TV and think you know it all.

I am not in any way saying it's good, just educate yourself about both.
To say someone is a "cheater" is not the view I take on it...

Actually, I think HGH would have very little to no effect on a younger guys game.

However, get to be Gary Players age... and you would see some benefit... I also suspect that Player is refering to someone on the senior tour when he says he knows for sure someone on tour IS using HGH. (This is also why many doctors have wanted Gary Player to take HGH).

Think of it as athletic Viagra...

Who said someone was a cheater, for I do not know enough about it to even really know what it would do for you and your golf swing. I merely wanted to show you that website as an illustration of strong arms and big veins. Heck, maybe his mom was a HGH junkie and he has the affects of it in his veins, or maybe that is all pure and natural.... But never ever ever did I call someone a cheater... for shame, for shame, for shame

You didn't.... just making a blanket statement

Maybe, but I have never heard of a sex drive competition. It doesn't help you in a competition. HGH does.

(let's please keep this on topic, I think this is an important topic and would be rather disappointed if this branches off into 15 different sex jokes.)

HGH would subsoquently bulk you up-but would not improve strength..its kind of like creatine--it gives you a bloated feeling and allows water to enter the muscle tissue...causing it to become bigger--so i wouldnt recommend it at all--i would just lift weights for strength...its safe and it improves your swing speed

"People think the size of the head is most important. Wrong. It's getting a quality shaft. test different shafts to see which goes the straightest. Also, more degrees of loft on the head is better than less. Eleven degrees is about right."

That's not necessarily, true. Look at Marion Jones, Shane Mosley, the 1500 Meter US Champion, I forget her name. None of them became bigger to the extent that you said "Wow, he/she's juicing."

As for improving strength, it does. Just ask Barry Bonds or any professional bodybuilder. You have to cycle, just like anything else, to see results but you will get stronger.

Uh NO......

"HGH or Human Growth hormone is produced in the pituitary gland of the brain. HGH is primarily released during the early phases of sleep. It is quickly converted by the liver into the growth-promoting metabolite somatomedin C and is then circulated throughout the body. Once released, HGH induces the liver to make insulin-like growth factor 1 and this hormone then triggers the growth of bones, muscles and other body tissues. HGH promotes cell regeneration in your bones, vital organs and muscles and reduces the amount of fat circulating in the body. Human growth hormone is responsible for many effects on growth, development, immunity and metabolism throughout your body". from medical journal I had lying around.... like I said earlier, most people really have no clue what it actually does....they hear whatever on TV and believe what they are told....educate yourself if it interests you....ask "why?" every chance you get. Don't go through life believing everything you hear..get the facts yourself

Obviously you will get stronger--but not as much as you think..Most people use HGH for MASS--to look bigger than what they are strong..

I guess I was just more curious than anything. I had heard that some tour players were suspected of using it, and I was unsure of why. I would think more players would be on anti-depressants- from all them triple diget scores.......... jk

      Question About UK vs. U.S. Course Etiquette

      By RickK · Posted

      The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO

      Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues.

      Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management.
