Bryson ready for golf...or MMA?

Eguller

garyt1957 Lots of the LD guys swing harder and they don't seem to have a ton of injuries?

It is not just the back that can break down - lots of tendon issues, tears, joint issues....don't ask how I know. 😅

The point is Bryson isn’t leaving anything in the tank. He’s going at it as hard as he can.

And no disrespect to the long drive guys, but they’re not tour pros who average 5-6 rounds per week during the season.
Anyway... we shall see.

garyt1957

PA-PLAYA I don't know the practice schedule of a long drive guy but I imagine they hit balls multiple times a week. And they're not hitting any wedges, it's all driver all the time. Like you say, we'll see.

That's a bullshit headline. Everybody I know who's into golf is asking that question.

azgreg at's a bullshit headline. Everybody I know who's into golf is asking that question.

I wondered about that headline myself but the writer says in the article....."I have no evidence and have never met the man. I'm not accusing, I'm just asking -- how is this possible?"

Why is not GolfChannel talking about it? Everyone I know that knows much about golf surmises that putting on 20 lbs. of muscle mass = PED_HGH etc. GolfChannel and other media afraid to talk about PED's on the PGA?

Subsonic

Last Tee encourages PED's among it's members. Anything to keep them upright and active. Blood pressure meds, cholesterol meds, methamphetamine, pain killers, CBD TBH HMO basically any acronym drug, roids, blood doping etc.... Whatever they need to hit that ball down the fairway...

Spuzz Do not make me post a pic of my own body, just to show you how PEDS is not a necessary thing in order to have such a magnificent physique, and strength.

Do it, side by side with Bryson.
I bet you make the number 10.

And...working out at least as much as Big Boy Bryson (at least the top ones are).

yep
No Tiger to talk about, so Bryson is the next best thing at the moment.

scotts33 Bryson is 26 years old and 6’2 with a thick build. Putting on 25 pounds is not a huge deal. He isn’t ripped by any means. He also had access to the best trainers, food, supplements, etc. I think to bring up steroids is an injustice to him. That doesn’t mean he couldn’t have taken them, since nothing surprises me any more.

Spuzz yep

But they do not talk about Bryson and possible PED usage. ONLY talk about his massive distance gain and not where it came from in regards to PED's.

Not going to kill their number one content now.
Maybe Chamblee will investigate.

I believe it's not saying anything negative about the PGA. Chamblee had a Golf.com SubPar podcast air today and I watched it to see if he'd say anything about DeChambeau. They didn't.........protecting the PGA and their holier than thou product. Where's Vijay with the deer antler spray? 😀

scotts33 Where's Vijay with the deer antler spray? 😀

Unfortunately that was Vijay...someone who was kicked of the Asian tour for life for cheating. If it were someone beyond reproach that might have been real interesting....but I seem to remember Vijay did not let it go and he was vindicated in the end!

scotts33

Yeah, lol....Brauny got off on a technicality, but it eventually caught up with him!

You'd have to believe he will be tested....but aren't the cheaters a step ahead?

If the dude really is cheating...he will never be forgiven by the golf community.

ode

Until there is some real evidence what's the point of accusing him. TW there were some connectable dots.....not sure that's the case with BD, yet! I was being facetious with earlier comments.....I cannot believe with the amount of dislike for the man, that there isn't multiple threads on every golf forum suggesting it. He's been poking the bear ("traditions of the game") left and right and now with this extreme bomb and gouge he's employed, you can bet the old fuddy duddy,s will be watching him like a hawk. If this becomes a trend, you can bet your azz they will put a stop to it!

scotts33

ode Just test him like the PGA should be doing all along. When anyone bulks up that much in 3 months the PGA should be doing due diligence. Just like MLB did with Ryan Braun....right Chad! 😃

Then test him and others that exhibit that kind of huge gain. He's clean he's clean. I remember many saying the same thing about Lance Armstrong when he was the darling American boy of cycling. Then all the truths of PED's, HGH, doping, etc. came out. As fans wouldn't you think any sport should be as on the up and up as possible. It just looks fishy....why not take out all doubt?

ode

Taki27 yeah they showed some if his work out stuff on TGC last night and interview d his swing coach and his workout coach. It was worth the watch....he is really training hard and the workout guy said BD talked about potentially getting up to 270 lbs😲.....that's nuckin futz IMO. He stated as long as his flexibility/speed and ability to stay injury free remains that's a choice BD has to make, but the weight gain itself was not a recommendation of the workout coach. Crazy thing is, that BD thinks there is more gains to be had.

And I agree I don't look at him and think he's crazy ripped, he's thicker for sure and he almost appears to have a bit of a belly. Whereas guys like Bonds, Sosa, McGuire were all skinny (Sosa and Bonds moreso, Maguire at least had a bit of substance to him) and got crazy muscular. He looks nothing like those guys IMO. I dunno, honestly I'd hate it to be true....so I hope it's not, as it would do a lot of harm to the game, as well as open the door for the holier than thou f( )cks to bifurcate/roll back etc.

Taki27 I remember a fella that when he was in the 8th grade, weighed around 180, when school was out in late May. When school resumed again, in early Sept., that fella came walking in weighing around 220, with arms bigger than Bryson. No one asked if he had been doing any drugs, which back then wasn't necessary when your Dad did custom baling all summer. Even had there been any muscle 'enhancing' drugs back then, I didn't need them. Neither does Bryson.

Spuzz

ode Whereas guys like Bonds, Sosa, McGuire were all skinny

and Tiger too
and it took longer than 3 months with those guys.

There's more than one kind of roid available, or maybe it's growth hormones or horse pills.
Test should be inevitable but I doubt it happens.
They only catch the odd doper.

I'd bet he has.

Par4QC ou think he's not been pissing a lot for them already?

Just me but no. PGA is noted for burying their head in the sand. Much like the NFL who also have a stance on we don't want to know.
