To: Archie Bunker on steroids
I think so too, just wish they were broken by someone not on the roids.
Theres never been any real credible evidence that Tiger is on steroids. There have been rumors but the only basis for those people making the accusation is that 1) Tiger is so good, so very, very good and highly competitive and, 2) he looks a lot more muscular than he did when he first joined the tour.
Addressing the first; yes Tiger is super crazy good, but the key to his success is not just the long drives he hits. Its his ability to make great recovery shots and his short game and its his strong mental concentration. I dont know if you play, but I can tell you for a woman, I can hit some pretty long drives (180 to 200 yards) and Im usually in the fairway. But I fall down in the short game and getting out of trouble. My chipping and putting stink and wont improve from building more muscle, either through pumping iron and or supplementing my workouts with steroids. Roids wont do diddily squat for my putting.
Some say that because his physique is much more muscular than when he first joined the tour or as an amateur, therefore he must be on steroids. BS. Comparing the physique of a teenager to that of a mature man who works out is just plain silly.
A few years ago Annika Sorenstam went on a rigorous training regiment and had one of her best years ever, so training can help, but as any golfer knows, muscle without flexibility is a detriment not an asset.
I would also submit that as Tiger is a Buddhist, taking drugs of any kind would be against his religious beliefs.
And finally, Tiger's as been an advocate for drug testing on the PGA Tour and offered to be the first in line.
Your comment is all wet; as wet as an errant tee shot plunked to the lake.

Every Tiger Woods thread for the past 3 years years has ultimately been hijacked by ArchieBunkerOnSteroids to the point that such threads end up dying out because people are sick of his crap and don't want to argue with him. File a complaint with the Mods, I just did........
