My list was about "course management", not physical fitness.
As for "stretching", that's a load of balogna in my opinion. I'm about the least flexible person on earth. I have never ... not once ... done any "stretching". I get out of my car, walk to the 1st Tee and hit my drive. I've shot between 71 & 75 from 6300 yards, my last 4 rounds. Significantly better than I was shooting 5-6 years ago.
I'm sure stretching is beneficial and probably helps prevent injuries, but if anyone thinks stretching is going to improve their golf game, I have a bridge I'm interested in selling.
Did you happen to get a gander of the guy who just won the Rocket Mortgage? He can barely bend over to tie his shoes.
