To get the most out of your golf game, you should be in as good a physical condition as you can. Although golf isn’t necessarily thought of as a sport that is to terribly active, you none the less need to pay attention to conditioning. Flexibility, strength and balance play a huge role in the golf swing, and if you have all the mechanics right, and put good conditioning on top of that, your game will get better. When your body is working as best it can, with all systems functioning well, anything you do if a physical nature can’t help but improve.

Now a little caveat here, I’m not talking about becoming another body building superstar, but rather just the proper toning and conditioning to allow your body to do the things that it needs to do as best as it can do them. A lack of the proper flexibility and conditioning can hold your game back. If you can see a video slow motion of a professional’s golf swing mechanics you will see a tremendous amount of different muscle movement, coordination and balance that occurs.

Just like any test that you ever wrote, if you didn’t prepare for it before hand, you couldn’t be the best that you could be. So why not lay off a few buckets of balls at the practice range, and work on your conditing and flexibility. Your golf game will thank you, and it also has the side benefit of getting you in better shape for whatever life has to throw at you.
