Golf Fitness: Why You Need To Read This
By: Mike Pederson

If you haven't been under a rock for the past few years, you'll know that golf fitness is a topic mentioned during every televised tournament.

The modern golfer is fit, strong, lean and mean. Long gone are the days of the out-of-shape golfer winning tournaments. No matter what the level.
