So, Now What?

PGA Tour Drug Testing

At first when I heard about this, I was all for it. It seems like a great idea. I don't like cheaters any more than the rest of the world, but as I watch baseball go through scandal after scandal I'm starting to wonder if it will cause more problems than it solves. I don't think that golfers are very prone to cheating in general because of the nature of the game. They must call penalties on themselves after all, which most of them take very seriously. Plus, I can't see how drugs could drastically improve your play. Being long off the tee isn't everything because if it was, all those long drive guys would be winning all the money. Stress reducing drugs could help, but is that really cheating? I just don't want to see some poor guy get banned for an event and have his reputation called into question because he took the wrong cough medicine.
