  1. Thanks, looks like I found my answer - according to the World Anti-Doping Agency (link below), beta-blockers are prohibited in competitive golf unless otherwise specified. Propranolol is specifically named on their list, along with quite a few others. Here's the link in case anybody's interested: http://list.wada-ama.org/prohibited-in-particular-sports/prohibited-substances/
  2. I've been golfing for 15 years, and I joined a league a few months ago (nothing major, just a league run by a local shop). The other day, a thought occurred to me... I've been taking a beta-blocker called Propranolol for some time now. I know this drug has been universally banned from the Olympics for its ability to mitigate the affects of adrenaline on anxiety and heart rate, but I've never heard anything about drug policies in golf. Does anybody know whether or not beta-blockers are legal in golf at any level? I'm really not too worried about it with my league, but now I'm curious about golf's drug policy in general.
