I wasn't sure what roids were, My first thought was use Preparation H, then I saw your screen name. Are beta blockers a drug, I thought they were in some foods naturally?

I don't think there is a sport with more rules than golf, I playing baseball once and decided it would be nice if I had a caddy to carry my bat around for me.

My understanding of beta blocker are that they are similar to anxiety control drugs. They help you focus on the greens and calm you down when the pressure is on. Golfers rely on repetition. A golfer who regularly hits a 8 iron 150 yds, may hit it differently when he is excited or under stress...the drugs keep him on an even keel.

Rumor is from PGA pros that several tournys have been won with them.
