Drink water all day long. Not only does water help regulate your pH balance and organ functions, it keeps your muscles contracting properly and also satiates your appetite. You’ll feel better and eat less. Drink 60-120 ounces a day. Start with a glass as soon as you get up and put one on the nightstand when you go to bed. It should be the first and last thing you drink each day.
Walk whenever you can. Push/pull carts are fine. Unless you’re physically disabled, there’s no reason to ride in a golf cart. And if a course tells you that they have a “no-walking” policy, ask the director of golf for special permission. If he or she says no, then say you have a policy of playing golf courses that allow walking and politely leave.
Strengthen your shoulder girdle. Your scapula, rotator cuffs, etc. These muscles provide the brakes to your golf swing. The stronger they are, the less chance you’ll have of hurting yourself by over-swinging.
