Ummm, it's been

two hours . As the admin on several other forums it's a good rule of thumb to wait 24 hours before even thinking about bumping your thread. In fact, even longer is a good idea since this place doesn't get five thousand posts a day, and topics actually stick around for a while on the front page. Take a chill pill, man.

Agreed. Perhaps s/he is on drugs that affect time?

I guess even a broken watch is right twice a day. Oh well, I tried, I guess. The little guy is amusing at times, though, I have to admit...

The reason is I had to ponder it a while. I personally think the testing is going to be complex.

For example; many, if not most of the tour players have personal trainers that are involved in their training program and I would bet, also diet... I would suspect that the trainers are also paid well with other incentives as well(ie their player winning)... Therefore, the trainer may be under pressure to get the golfer to perform well and give them a drug offending substance in a energy drink or whatever.... The pro golfer has no clue of this.... Should he/she(the golfer) be punished? What about the legitimate medical use of certain steroids? How about Ibuprofen? Nicotine(sorry Angel Cabrera)? Where will it end?

You give a good point.The Tour will have to have all parties involved investigated before any action towards the player taken. Going to be a tough one,isn't it?

I said none. I don't believe there is 0 use. I do believe if you know what you are doing the levels and substances that golfers would use are easily masked or are not detected. HGH and low levels of testorone via cream etc would give some advantage but not be outside of range. Remember golfers don't have to be the strongest, fastest or jump the highest. They just need enough to recover little more quickly and modestly improve strength and flexibility. Enough for an extra 10-15 yards without significant bulk. If one of them is is dumb enough to go for more than that they will be caught. Also if street drugs that aren't really performance enhancing, like pot, are being tested then someone likely will fail.

I dont think that any golfers will be busted for steroids or HGH to enhance performance, maybe to get back from an injury but not for performance enhancement. I do think however that many will get busted for anphetemines and concerntraiton enhancing drugs. I have ADHD and i take aderall for it everyday, i can see a huge diference in my golf game from when im off it and when i take it. Im usually better at putting and planning out the holes when it take them.

What would be the point of taking steroids? I am more scared of the guy who hits a 5 iron 150 yards that can hit a draw, fade, cut, and can stop it on a dime then I am a person who hits it 400 yards

I didn't think about the ADHD angle. I am going to steal some of my sons concerta before my next round

. I should not make fun of ADHD. I am actually textbook ADHD, I was never diagnosed because for my generation, it was only kids that got in trouble that were put on Ritalin. It probably would have helped me a ton because I had/have a terrible time concentrating. The one thing about most ADHD meds is that they are actually stimulants and will not help someone that does not have ADHD focus. In fact it could do quite the opposite. There are a lot of people that use drugs like Aderall to get high.

That's what I thought. Does the test detect performance anti-enhancing (not sure if that is a word)? I don't think anyone will be busted for roids but maybe a little weed or some blow?

I voted 1 player. Some poor bugger is gonna forget about his Beta blockers for his heart condition, and is gonna get busted. After that, everyone will be more careful........

Are they really gonna test for weed?!?!!? Dude.....

There's an article in Golf Digest that made the best point.

As long as Tiger tests negative for performance enhancing drugs, what does it matter if everyone else is positive?

      A 5400 yd course is not that short for gents driving it 160 yards considering the approach shot lengths they are going to be faced with on Par 4s.  Also, for the course you are referring to I estimate the Par 4s have to average longer than 260 yds, because the Par 5s are 800 yds or so, and if there are four Par 3s averaging 130 the total is 1320 yds.  This leaves 4080 yds remaining for 12 Par 4s.  That is an average of 340 per hole. Anyway, if there are super seniors driving it only 160ish and breaking 80 consistently, they must be elite/exceptional in other aspects of their games.  I play a lot of golf with 65-75 yr old seniors on a 5400 yd course.  They all drive it 180-200 or so, but many are slicers and poor iron players.  None can break 80. I am 66 and drive it 200 yds.  My average score is 76.  On that course my average approach shot on Par 4s is 125 yds.  The ten Par 4s average 313 yds.  By that comparison the 160 yd driver of the ball would have 165 left when attempting GIR on those holes.

      Womens League .Golf Top Level Domain Name

      By iacas ·

      I don't think you can snag lpga.golf without the actual LPGA having a reasonable claim to it. You can find a ton of articles of things like this, but basically: 5 Domain Name Battles of the Early Web At the dawn of the world wide web, early adopters were scooping up domain names like crazy. Which led to quite a few battles over everything from MTV.com You could buy it, though, and hope the LPGA will give you a thousand bucks for it, or tickets to an event, or something like that. It'd certainly be cheaper than suing you to get it back, even though they'd likely win. As for whether women and golfers can learn that ".golf" is a valid domain, I think that's up to you knowing your audience. My daughter has natalie.golf and I have erik.golf.
