But golf is primarily a game of skill not simply strength. Of course being stronger is useful but there have been many past pros who have sought distance and who could lift heavy weights and it didn't help. Just because you are stronger doesn't mean you will be better, or hit the ball further btw. Ask Sir Nick Faldo......
