The golf swing requires a high level of golf specific strength, flexibility, stability, balance, coordination and muscular endurance.

If any of these qualities are lacking, your golf swing will be inefficient and nearly impossible to repeat.
The golf swings is very athletic. Every major muscle in the body is used in a specific sequence of motion to enable you to hit the ball solidly and with power. The out of shape golfer might hit a solid shot or two during a round of golf, but that is by pure luck and not physical skill.
Athletes work on their bodies to reach their true potential. Why wouldn't you? Treat yourself like a golf athlete and start focusing on the physical aspect of the game and not the technical. The technical will fall right into place with your newfound fitness for golf abilities.

Strength - It takes strength to maintain golf posture and to rotate your upper body powerfully into the ball. A lower level of golf specific strength will result in difficulty with posture, and downswing power.
Flexibility - Flexibility is a must to achieve a full backswing with no muscular tension. Lack of flexibility creates tension in your golf swing, robbing you of club head speed and distance.

Stability - You need to be stable in your golf swing to perform optimal swing mechanics. Also, your consistency for 18 holes depends on a stable golf swing.
Balance - Have you ever fallen out of balance during a swing? Everyone has...but why then do golfers ignore balance training for a better swing. Improved balance creates a consistent and very powerful swing for 18 holes.
Coordination - The golf swing requires a particular sequence of motion, which is indirectly coordination. If you can't figure out this sequence and repeat it, forget it. You'll struggle to improve indefinitely.
Muscular Endurance - Having endurance helps you maintain optimal swing mechanics and power for 5 hours of golf. Endurance also affects your concentration. When you're tired, it's easy to lose focus. When you're fit, you stay focused for 18 holes with ease.
