Endurance
When you become fatigued, you lose coordination, strength and concentration. Try biking or jogging to built your endurance (Golf counts only if you walk briskly).
Strength
Most golfers do not have the postural strength to maintain position and rotate along the spinal axis. Golf depends on the core muscles for power, optimum position, balance and mechanics.
Flexibility
You are never too old to start your flexibility training. The best is to stretch after your game. Arm circles and trunk rotations before your game are enough to get blood flowing.
Balance
Balance is a key component for a fluid, solid golf swing. You can improve it by any balance exercise including yoga.
