How would steroids enhance one’s ability to play golf?

Frantzie refused to respond. Do you have an answer?

I answered it here and many times before in my other points.

The drugs will allow to train longer and harder and recover quicker, a huge, huge, advantage. The ability to get the same distance swinging at 80% capacity instead of 90% capacity.

Do you even watch golf? They’re always talking about Tiger’s strength. Tough lie in the rough “OOHHH man, only Tiger has the strength to get down to that ball” “He’s going to muscle this one out of the rough” “Any other guy would take a wedge and just hack this one out, Tiger is going to go with a 6 iron and try and get it to the green, I can’t believe it, WOW he’s strong”

You hear this gushing about Tiger’s strength all the time.

I know lifting weights helped me increase my swing speed and make me a better golfer. Add the weight lifting AND the drugs and he has an advantage over the guys who just lift weights. There’s plenty of guys lifting weights on tour. Tiger is the only guy who looks like he could play in the NFL, oh and by the way those guys in the NFL are on drugs, the ones he looks like.

First of all, I'm not a golfer, so this is speculation based on sports I have played. In driving and the middle game, the more strength an individual has, the less effort they have to put into a swing to get the same distance. This would allow them to be more accurate. It's hard to explain, but the more effort put into the hit that makes the ball go, the more erratic the hit will be. Of course, on the drives it would increase total distance.

Additionally, if the greater strength allows him to make strokes with less effort, he'll be fresher at the later holes. Not having played, I would assume that after the practice rounds and four rounds of tournament play, a golfer would have played 100-150 holes. The greater strength would help the player be less fatigued on days three and four.
