There were funnel clouds around here, fam. I want to head out to the course again, be ause I've been boxing in all my time. I feel like my swing will suffer now.

How much of a factor does strength have in being better at golf?

Not much.
Flexibility is more important than strength.
Short game efficiency is best way to lower scores.

Wouldn't having a strong core help with being able to flex? I don't know much about stuff like that and Golf fitness but I don't want to get fatigued this summer in the heat so I'm trying to turn it up a little.

Both are important. Since I started lifting, I can tell the difference in my drives. A solid 50-60 yard boost.
If you are flexible enough to have a good swing, and strong enough to put a lot of power into it - your drives will be insane.

Co sign this. I'm 6'5, 250. I was about 280, started losing weight and lifting, and noticed a big difference in my overall game, especially the distance on my irons.
threw up a 42 yesterday after work, on the Front 9 with 5 pars, 2 bogeys, 2 doubles,

Generally not as high. I hit my PW around 100-110 consistently.

even par could take this easy
as long as preppy doesnt win im good, him winning would be almost as bad as coward. doubt luke donald will win but i wouldnt mind seeing him do so.
