Drug testing in golf...

From a writer in the Detroit Free Press:

Quote:

Tiger Woods is out of sight, but not out of mind. Here's golfer Steve Stricker's take on PGA Tour drug testing: "All we have to test is one guy, because we can't beat him, anyway."

When the rest of the field thinks you're going to beat them before they step on the course, you've won...

I checked, and Stricker is ranked around 42nd in the PGA. When you consider that the difference between first and 250th is something like two strokes, that mental edge can make quite a difference...

There are a lot of great golfers out there. If Tiger's not around to watch, I really don't care. In fact, it's a little better, 'cos then you just watch everybody instead.

if they're gonna drug test golf, maybe we need to initiate drug tests for posting, too!

For some of the idiots posting about in cyberspace, I'm not totally against that

It's golf. Are you sure they're not testing for sedatives?

Tested myself, came back positive so I'm off to the question thread again

Drugs in golf don't work, i'm speaking from experience...well....drugs and miniature golf that is. This one time i was playing miniature golf on coke with a bunch of mates, and instead of trying to put, i used the golfclub as a pickaxe to make the hole bigger. In the end it was big enough for a bear to take a crap in it.

I'd like to see Tiger Woods try that.

Hey so when a golfer slices into the rough and goes looking for his ball are we EXACTLY sure what sort of grass he is in?
