Your talking about baseball. Totally different sport. There are many lanky golfers today that can hit the ball well over 300 yards. Dustin Johnson drives the ball farther than anyone. But he doesn't have the Mark McGuire muscles. He's tall and has a big arc to his swing and hits it straight. That's his advantage. Muscles don't have anything to do with it.
Performance-enhancing substances, also known as performance-enhancing drugs (PED),[SUP][1][/SUP] are substances that are used to improve any form of activity performance in humans. A well-known example involves doping in sport, where banned physical performance–enhancing drugs are used by athletes and bodybuilders. Athletic performance-enhancing substances are sometimes referred to as ergogenic aids.[SUP][2][/SUP][SUP][3][/SUP] Cognitive performance-enhancing drugs, commonly called nootropics,[SUP][4][/SUP] are sometimes used by students to improve academic performance. Performance-enhancing substances are also used by military personnel to enhance combat performance.[SUP][5][/SUP]
[FONT="]So can PEDs, such as HGH, improve a golfer’s game? No, as far as swing mechanics, course management, feel, touch, green reading, etc. are concerned. But they can boost the capacity for the golfer to endure more, get stronger, and recuperate faster from injury to allow him or her to gain an edge to hit more practice balls and improve one’s ability to feel more in control of their physical and mental condition.[/FONT]
Tiger won the Masters in 1998. He completely overwhelmed the course as a scrawny kid. That's really all that needs to be said about this subject. I've talked to professional golfers. They all say pretty much the same thing. It's course management and what happens 100 yards on in that separates the good from the great golfers.
