Golf on Steroids
There was a time when professional baseball players were considered to be the least physically fit of all the athletes in the four major sports (baseball, football, hockey, and basketball). But that’s changed.
There was a time when professional golfers assumed that mantle from MLB. But that’s changed too.
And as a life long golfer, I’m concerned.
In the mid-1990’s, we believed that baseball’s most hallowed records were being challenged due to stronger players, smaller ballparks, and “hotter baseballs.” But that’s changed.
Since the late 1990’s, we’ve been told essentially the same things about the game of golf. The players are stronger, technology has increased distances, and the courses have become “smaller.”
I’m beginning to wonder if that’s changed too.
Before it’s too late, and we get conned again, the PGA Tour needs to put in place a drug testing program that will protect the integrity of the game.
