I’m just putting this out there, so don’t go mashugana (or do - that’s what these forums are for).

Do you suspect that Annika took some androgenic compounds, i.e., steroids?

Not even considering it

No, I don't think she took any HGH or 'roids. Do I think that golfers take other performance enhancers at times, certainly. I do believe that all professional athletes take substances banned by the International Olympic Comittee. However, if she unretires in three years in better shape than ever, then yes.

Martina Navratalova--yes. Almost every Olympic Champion and NFL football player from the last 20 years, yes.

I do not think she has used anything, but to be fair it's possible, just as it's possible any athlete (golfers included) have at least tried it at some point. I do believe usage of performance enhancing substances have been more widespread in the sporting world than suspected. While we'll probably never know for sure, I think it's probable that at least a few professionals (or wanna-be professionals) have used something at some point in attempt to improve themselves and their performance.

what made you think that? if she was built like Serena Williams and crushing balls 300 yards off the tee, then yes, i would consider it. but she isnt out driving anyone by a long shot that i can see. she's just more accurate and precise than most

Naw, methinks the worst would be aspirin or cold medicine

Why do some people seem to think just because someone lifts weights that they are on steriods? Anyone can get a body like Annika's on a dedicated regimine of strength exercises.

    • Played Sunday and implemented the Mayo spinner. Hit my second shot long and left on three to a bare lie. I have seen this shot to a tucked pin but I don’t swing across it enough and hit it too far with a ton of spin but it rolled into the bunker. I pulled my approach short and left on ten to a horrible lie with about 3’ of rise to a tucked pin maybe 5’ on the green. Ball is in a damp lie with debris behind and in front of the ball. Hit it to 3.5’ but horseshoed the putt around the right edge, which was a common miss. I hooked my tee shot into an unplayable lie in the hazard on the left side of the par 5 16th. Hit a great recovery that rolled to about 45 yards short of the back right pin. Hit the spinner over a bumpy green that rolled just over the ridge to 3’. Sank the straight 2.5’ putt. Felt like I had good control of these shots!
