Why is fitness for golf so important?

At last golfers are realisingthat making a golf swing is an athletic movement, with similar demands to hitting a tennis shot , or kicking a football. True, you are not running at full pace whilst hitting a golf ball, but the force required to hit a golf ball accurately a long distance is immense, and unless your body is physically prepared this cannot be achieved consistently.

Additionally, many of the swing faults exhibited in the swings of elite and club golfers have their origin in physical limitations, whether in flexibility, strength or stability. Traditionally, golf coaches have attempted to train golfers through swing tips and drills, but unless the body is capable of the change required, progress is unlikely to happen.
