Golf does not equal fitness

Many readers remember that I am an addicted golfer. I tell my residents, friends and fellow golfers that I play golf for fun, but I do not delude myself. I work out for fitness. Now golf gets a health warning: Many top players are flabby and have wobbly ankles. But Tiger is leading the gym revolution . Since beginning my more strenous workout program a year ago, I have noticed continued golf improvement. While I do not workout just to improve my golf game, it is certainly a nice benefit.
