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.

Pete Rose lets loose
in Sin City on golf and more
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.
