Its hard to compete when stronger men are outdriving you by 100yds like Fred Funk has to experience. You can't check a ball up on the green with a 4 iron as the big hitters can do with a wedge. This is what's happening today and the little guy can't compete.

Funk is hitting 5 irons into the greens that Tiger is pitching into.

That's where the temptation begins.

Funk is 5 inches shorter and about 20 pounds lighter than Woods and he is on average being outdriven by Woods by 40 yards off the tee.

Nobody can deny the bigger guy can have an advantage in golf when it comes to distance. I'm shorter than Funk.

But is Woods roided up? I seriously doubt it. Heck there are guys that out drive Tiger on average.

But if I had a swing like Tiger. heck if I had a swing like Camilio Villegas ( 5' 9", 160 lbs 306 yd average drive) I would be competitive no matter what the size.

Is Villegas roided up?

Is there temptation? yea probably.

Here look at this link which is a pound for pound, height for height comparison of big hitters. weight, height, driving distance comparisons The bottom line is , it's all about the swing.

You can be roided to high heavens but if you don't have the swing your going nowhere. I've played a lot of rounds where I whipped my buddies who were up to 8 inches taller and 70+ pounds heavier and a bunch stronger than me because the bottom line again, their swing sucked compared to mine.

Tiger has one of the best swings I've ever seen a golfer have bar none, not Nicklaus, not Palmer, not Trevino, not Price. That is why he is position to win so much not because he is roided up.
