Name your Palette: Description: http://www.ijga.com/news-and-blog/importance-fitness-regimen-junior-golfers/ | Professional golfers make hitting a long drive look easy. However, the split second that it takes to hit a golf ball with just the right velocity and angle is the result of hours of training. It takes strength, control, and a foundation of physical fitness to send the ball soaring down the fairway. Physical fitness also improves confidence and self-esteem – important factors for achievement both on and off of the golf course.
