I read in Forbes Magazine about celebrity salaries in 2005...
His wife has 80 million+ reasons a year for being with him!

it seems that only those who do not know what makes a good 'golf swing' would suspect steroids in golf. I may be wrong (and please, do tell me if I am) but golf isnt primarily about strength. Strength helps, yes, but flexibility, balance and coordination are more important. Do steroids help in these areas? I really dont know... but I would think not.

I just don't think the performance enhancing drugs like steroids would be that useful to a golfer. Granted, you might want to try it if you were on the Long drive tour, but it requires too much finesse around and on the greens to use steroids.

John Daly (6th) and Bubba Watson (1st) are two of the longest hitters on tour and neither one of them is buff. They are followed by Charles Howell (50th) who is so thin he has to pump up to make a shadow. Technique will win out over brute strength every time. I am not sure that the huge muscles you get with steroids wouldn't actually be a hinderance instead of a help????

Either way, the bad side effects in personality change and loss of muscle control would certainly hurt a golfer's overall game.

    • I think that would fall under the general umbrella of "kinematics".  And I'm sure that @iacas will correct me if I'm wrong, but in many cases the handle will be almost motionless by the time the clubhead impacts the ball.  
    • I don't think it is called anything singularly specific in scientific terms other than how you described it. Some might call it a pendulum motion or something but that's probably super simplistic and not adequate description/definition. Of course, there's a whole gamut/combo of causal physics, biomechanics and geometry that results in the phenomenon.
    • As Erik says, he can correct the Wrong Place mistake by replacing the ball in its original location, see 14.5a, as long as he does it before making a Stroke at the ball.    I agree, and that's one of the worst aspects of being a rules official.  But its also an important part, I'm sure that player learned that one rule pretty clearly, and hopefully has learned to read the NTP and listen on the first tee.
    • So while we're talking about physics I've got a question regarding physics and golf provides some excellent examples for what Im talking about. When you swing a stick in an arc the end of the stick will be moving faster than where you're holding it because it has to cover more distance in the same amount of time. An excellent example would be swinging a golf club.  When you swing a golf club, say when you're teeing off with the driver, the head of the club is going to be going faster than the handle because it has to cover more distance in the same amount of time and the longer the club the faster the head will be going because with a longer club the head will have to cover an even greater distance in the same amount of time. That's why drivers are so long, they're meant for hitting the balls the furthest so you want the head to be going as fast as possible when it hits the ball.  So I was wondering, what's it called in physics, about how when you swing a stick such as a golf club, how the head is moving faster than the handle because it has to cover more distance in the same amount of time. 
    • He replaces his ball and gets the stroke for lifting his ball without having a rule allowing such.
