I don't know anyone who uses roids, HGH or anything like that, but I do know a guy who Adderall to keep focused/less jumpy in tournaments.

Do you know anyone who uses PEDs primarily for golf?
 
Not in the south GA sticks.

I don't know anyone that uses PED's, but the Adderall is being used for helping people focus. From what I understand if you don't have ADHD or ADD it can really help with studying. I think this could become a huge problem like Opioids, but I am not sure of the side effects.
 
I know someone who pops Xanax when he gets anxious. It certainly doesn't "enhance" his performance on the course, that's for sure.
 
Once recreational weed gets legalized this list might get longer.

Not sure about the "huge problem" thing. I know tons of people that did it in college to help study during finals week. Comparing it to Opioids is pretty funny though.
 
I'm fairly certain, at times, that alcohol improves my game. But I'm guessing that's not the kind of PED you are talking about.

Not for golf but back in the day I lifted regularly with some heavy PED users
 
Does beer count?
 
For golf? No. For gainzzzz? Yes.

Haha, 72 hour check-in whiz quiz has long since been completed! And I'm au naturale anyway :cool:.
 
I used to be a gym rat so I've gotten to know quite a few on steroids. Also was a teen in the 80's, they were all over the darn place.

Only one year of college football but in '87 during camp I witnessed every single member of the defense save for me and my buddy Tommy Foley (RIP, died 9/11, FDNY) either shoot 'roids or pop pills.

And this was a Division III nothing of a school. Ridiculous.

Unaware of any PED's on the course though.
 
Back in the 80's, early 90's a HS teammate and his brother were ripped. Rumors abounded but nothing was proven. Then one day they got arrested for something related to the PED's and that was that.

I'm fairly certain that alcohol and swing improvement operate on a bell curve. I think the magic happens around .08% BAC.
 
Nowadays I see the adderall and xanax on the golf course sometimes. As for roids it's been awhile and don't think I ever saw it golfing. The few adults I knew were from the gym, body builders. I played ball against two on active duty who were dishonorably discharged and did some time in prison for PEDs. Sadly, late 80s to mid 90s, I also knew several kids who were supposedly 'encouraged' in the little suburb of San Antonio we lived in then. Possibly as young as Jr High for some, sad. Historically dominant state football powers had to do what it took to keep pace I guess?

This is actually kind of a myth/misuse. The drugs like Adderall and Ritalin are designed to work on the brain of a person with the symptoms and activity of ADHD and ADD. For a normal functioning brain, there is a lot of debate as to whether the effect is mostly placebo or if it actually works on everyone, and to what degree. Also depends largely on the dosage as well.
 
Golf course? Nope. To get gains in the gym, ripped etc yep know several.
 
I don't, but everybody I know is in the military...
