Hi,

My club pro was speaking to me and a few others in the clubhouse and he played in the Wales Professionals Champs last week and he said the 1st 2nd 3rd and 4th place players were all fat! Stephen Dodd who almost qualified for ryder cup this year was playing in it and he came 3rd and he is real fat man boobs and everything!

Is fitness in Golf really that important?? Just because Tiger keeps real fit and stuff but he is a freak aint he! Like he can stay in the zone for 6 hours and he is just a freak basically but Mickelson, Vijay and lots of american golfers and lots of europeans who win are overweight. Monty has the biggest man boobs i have ever soon and he tryed to loose weight a few years ago and his golf went to pieces same with darren clarke!

The club pro said he thinks that golf is 99% mental and confidence! He also said that this fat man who won hit the ball about 40 yards behind him and hit the ball like a lady but hit everysingle fairway, nearly every green and when he missed the green he got up and down everysingle time!

Just thought id bring it up.
 
It's like anything in golf, you can be great with a weakness in a component or two, but you'll have to make up for it in other areas. If you are out of shape you better have great mechanics, because your body won't be able to handle all that much practice. You can be thin and not be in shape, and be fat and be in shape. I am 5'9" and 145 pounds and I would bet that Phil is in better golf shape than I am. I would imagine he has better shoulder, core, and hip stability. He has more dynamic flexibility. His muscles fire quicker, allowing for him to hit it further. A person can have a lot of fat on their stomach and still have extremely strong abs.

I would put Vijay amongst the top guys on tour in terms of fitness. Those are pecs, not boobs.

Annika Pecs or boobs. :D Good points. Fat or Skinny, there is more then meets the eye to this game. Thats why they are pros, and the rest are still looking. Forums, would be ghost towns, if teaching really helped get past the true facts pros have over the hacks. How much really does all this mechanical stuff help. For the handicappers, not much.

There is more to be gained by the average player in terms of power by improving ALIGNMENTS and not physical strength. It could be different on tour.

I remember seeing something Tom Kite said about MJ. He basically said that MJ was exponetially a better athelete than him BUT . . . he could OUT WALK JORDAN on a golf course. MJ was worn out walking 18 but TK could keep WALKING AND WALKING AND WALKING.

You gotta love it when fat people beat skinny ponkass in shape tight shirt with zipper wearing beotches.
 
The games in the game

Every time any golfer tees up on the first tee, he's brings
- 14 clubs, balls, tees, gloves, raingear, clothing, glasses/lenses, footwear etc etc
- A long game
- A short game
- Putting
- Strategy and course management
- Mental game
- Fitness and stamina
- Nutrition

If only one of these "games in the game" falter, he can still post a decent score. So fitness is not crucial, but IT HELPS.

An unfit golfer has taken fitness out of the equation and need to be a little bit better in the other disciplines.
