 This Week
at TravelGolf.com: March 15,
2005
One glance at most any sports rag these days will tell you sluggers,
linebackers, and jocks from a host of Olympic sports all do it.
The it? Steroids.
And with Congress hauling in baseball stars past and present including Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa and Curt Schilling this week for questioning, the topic is on most sports fans minds. What about pro golf? With the big guys ripping ever longer drives, could any of tours stars be on the juice? For the most part, thats a question thats been whispered in hushed, and hes lining up his putt here on the final hole tones.
TravelGolf.coms Las Vegas Golf Guru, however, is asking the question out loud. Perhaps itd be better for the tours to spell out policies on roids now, rather than waiting for a full-blown PR fiasco, ala Major League Baseball, he writes on his blog.
One guy whos certain to have an opinion about golf and steroids (and most anything, in fact), is the joyfully outspoken Hit King of baseball, Pete Rose. I recently caught up with Charlie Hustle in Vegas. Still as feisty as the night he blasted Ray Fosse at home plate in the 1970 All-Star game, Pete let loose on some of the sacred cows of both baseball and golf, including why he gave up the links after working his way down to a 10-handicap.
We love to hear your comments.
Tell us your thoughts on the PGA Tours monster bombers. Tell us
how much youd pay for an autographed Pete Rose bobble-head
doll. Tear up one of our blog
squad. Heck, even tell us about a gem of a course we should
check out.

With all the talk lately about the
use of steroids in pro sports, the Las
Vegas Golf Guru is wondering out loud
if steroids are being used in
professional golf on any of the tours?
Sure tour players are working out,
eating better and taking better care of
themselves, he writes on his
TravelGolf.com blog, but some of these
guys are bulking up way to quick for
comfort. The only thing the PGA Tour
checks for is "hot drivers." But maybe
they should re-think their
position.

If you live in the Triangle area of
North Carolina, you eat, sleep, and
breathe a rivalry that is among the
finest in college sports: UNC vs. Duke.
But ACC basketball isn't the only show
in town. And maybe not even the best -
at least not for folks who do more than
just watch from the sidelines.
TravelGolf.com compares the golf
courses that each school's golf team
claims as their home.

If you were looking for a
quintessential Las Vegan, it'd be hard
to beat Pete Rose. Sure, he's a
southern Ohio boy, most often linked
with Cincinnati. But there's no one
more Las Vegas than Charlie Hustle.
From his Stars Live 365 box on Las
Vegas Boulevard, Rose commands The
Strip and puts on a show for the folks
who stop by, better than any carnival
act.
