Of course it would, they give it to alcoholics in withdrawl to ease their
symtoms. You might be anxiety free but dulled out otherwise.

Of course it would alleviate their anxiety. I thought that was understood.
I was interjecting that the loss of coordination would negate or offset any
beneficial relaxation benefits.

I agreed with you - used smaller definition of "dulled out" instead of your
articulate and concise variation. <g>

As someone, who has taken Valium to control (off-course) anxiety, I can
say very confidently that Valium is about the worst thing you can do to
your game (and life). Put Tiger Woods on Valium and I'll bet the house
to beat him. There's a reason why Valium is prescription-only, it's not
something you take for having a fun day on the links, it's for serious illnesses.

What you termed on-course anxiety is just a normal and healthy fact of
life. People get nervous when there is a chance that they might not
perform well. Real anxiety (in the medical sense) is a whole different
animal, comparable only to things that are illegal and not to be talked about.

Also: for you as a reader of this newsgroup, there is no shortage of
radical and crazy Golf improvement theories even without Valium

obviously it might not enhance a tiger woods...steve "the volcano" pate might
derive a benefit.
