| When someone is successful, there is always controversy and someone trying to knock the winners off their podium, kind of lousy. |

| Tiger has the best shortgame in the world, even better than phil's. Any tour player will tell you that if they could have any part of Tiger's game it would be his shortgame, you don't get that from steroids, it comes from inredible talent and practice, the Tiger on steroids theory is crap, he worked out every day to get to where he is but when he came on to the tour he was a skinny kid but he still won the masters by 12 strokes in 97.

| Tiger and Drugs
Every time an exceptional athlete crosses the line into greatness, these days, he's a candidate for drug testing in the minds of the less confident. To even bring up the issue is disturbing to me. The man has been playing and learning the game of golf since he was three (3) years old. Maybe earlier. He excels in a way that appears out of reach to us because he knows what it takes to be a winner. Most of us do not. We believe we should improve playing weekend golf. No great athlete ever excelled setting at home on the couch recounting all the good shots he should have hit over the weekend or during any round for that matter. We should enjoy Tiger the way we did Jack or Michael when it was their turn to be on top. Tiger Woods can not be held responsible for the creation of better equipment or even longer golf courses. Perhaps it would be better for all of us if we simply ask Tiger to quit playing golf? The same guys that complain now that he should be tested for drugs would complain then because he gave up the game to save the rest of us.  | |

I am a huge golf fan and I like to induldge in the occassional game or two as well, though I am not pro, I know a few great amateur players well. I believe it is impossible to score numbers like Tiger Woods in a game like golf, let us face it, no matter how good you get you have to admit there is a fair bit of luck involved in this great game, ask the pro's and I am sure they will tell you the same! Tiger alway's seems to be in the top ten but more often than not you can find him up in the top three, is there something wrong here?
Tiger was and is still great for golf ,his superhuman abilities have surpassed any pro athletes ever! With all this in mind I would like to state my point, and that is to start testing for performance enhancing drugs in professional golf, I am sure fan's of baseball would have shook their head's in disbelief if I was to mention this topic prior to discovering that Mark Mcguire and Sammi Sosa were indeed doping or how about Floyd Landis?
It's almost the year 2007, and golf needs drug testing, start with Tiger, because I just find it much too hard to believe!
Thank you |
That is a crock...Tiger has been in the gym forever and really looks no different than most guys that work out regular. They should test golfers for drugs yes, but the other type. | |

| As with all sports, champions rise to the top. Inevitably people will want to knock them & find a reason for their success. In some sports its unfortunately true that people are looking for ways too find an edge & it’s sometimes is an illegal edge, i.e. equipment & ban substances. Athletics, Tour de France & boxing spring to mind of late. But with Sir Tiger I don’t think there’s any dark secrets, I believe it’s just a combination of using all that’s legally available to him. Physical & Mental training, equipment technology, determination………….or yes & a little bit of ability.
