Rotator cuff exercises, shoulder work outs, arm workouts, trunk twists...probably a lot more that I'm missing.

You use your chest muscles a lot in golf & your back muscles.
The rotator cuff exercises would be great also. Make sure you remember to stretch afterwards. It just helps to be strong in general for golfing.

great thread. Swimming is great for golf, also hot yoga relaxes the muscles.
As for weights I am sure there are experts here that can advise.

Just do an overall body strengthening workout. Include a lot of balance work like "Setup to Balance" on a 18" plyo box. Power comes from the legs and hips up through your back. Your lats and core have a lot to do with the loading in the back swing of your upper body and then the release. Don't do cable pretend swings just like you wouldn't practice clean and jerks on the range.
Goblet Squats
Walking lunges
RDL
Bench press
Seated rows
OHP
Lat pulldowns
some basic arm work
Core work, Medicine ball rotation, planks, Back extensions, Cable rotations...etc
3 times a week. good form...continue to add weight
do the basic 3 X 10 routine
