I think that can be a frustrating thing - the idea that there is ONE ideal golf-specific conditioning exercise or program. I agree, ideally someone would receive a program specific to THEIR individual needs.
The program for a competitive golfer, who may play a round 5 or more days of the week, and hit 2-300 balls on the range, is going to be different that the businessman who sits at a computer/desk, sits on an airplane, and maybe plays a round or two a week to schmooze with clients - and of course doesn't have time to warm-up!
We all have our own little worlds, with our own little baggage (including past injuries). In my case, I am naturally quite flexible for a tall man. If anything, I am too flexible, and have suffered numerous strains, including a dislocated shoulder and kneecap. As I get a little older, I can feel that areas are tightening up, and am now forced to adopt a more formal stretching/flexibility program. But my job fortunately allows me to change positions regularly, from sitting, to standing, to bending, kneeling, etc., as I treat clients and demonstrate exercises, etc.
A tip for those interested in biomechanics - the next time you are in a mall, or maybe sitting on a bench on a street, watch people walk. Watch closely. Watch where their feet are pointing, try and watch what their hips/pelvis is doing (but don't GAWK!) See if their trunk/head seems to list to one side more than the other. You may be surprised to see little glitches on almost everyone you look at - you might also be surprised to see rather obvious asymmetries from side-to-side (left and right side of the body).
Its like studying standing posture - therapists always compare to an idealistic "normal" posture, but in reality, almost nobody has "normal" posture!
