I've been working out pretty regularly since November (running 3-4 miles a day and doing core exercises). My company has a golf league that starts in april and runs through the summer, and I want to be as fit for it as possible. I've been reading through some magazines and looking online for some golf-based excersises, and while I have found some I haven't found a comprehensive workout for golf. Does anyone know of or have a workout routine (weight training, core excersise, ect,ect.) geared towards golf. I would highly appreaciate any help.

My buddy is a physical trainer. He's not a golfer but he suggested to me lots of stretching and yoga/pilates styles workouts. Anything heavy he suggested sticking with mostly core body stuff. Over doing the weight lifting stuff will make bigger muscles yes, but will limit flexibility which will limit getting all that power on the ball porperly. The running is great too. Can't tell you how many times I've walked up a steep hill and had to hit a shot out of breath. (i'm a smoker unfortunatly)
