   Yes it will affect your swing. Whether good or bad will depend on the type of exercise. If golf specific you will be fine and improve.

   If you “bulk up ” too much it will effect your game. One needs a certain amount of flexibility offered by the longer muscles. However strengthening the legs has a positive effect because your stamina is improved, the leg strength will add distance as well as a solid base for the turns.

   It actually does a huge bunch in your game. it gets you stronger. but the main you thing you need to worry about is stretching. If you dont stretch your muscles get tight and everything will start to hurt.
