I had a back operation few years ago and my left leg in not fully recovered. I am training my core and things are getting better. For golf core muscles are important, but it's often difficult to evaluate the fitness of your core.
One very good way is to check your balance. Core muscles and hip keeps you in balance. For accuracy in golf balance is also very important.

"Here's an exercise you can do to improve this. While standing pick up one foot and bend that knee. Look straight ahead, but close your eyes and see how long you can hold it.
If it's for 10 seconds or less - not good. Need to work on it. If you can hold for 30 seconds or longer than start making small golf swings on one leg.
This will definitely be a challenge but will greatly improve your balance during your swing. In no-time you'll be swinging under control and hitting the kind of shots you're capable of."
Best thing is you can practice this almost anywhere:-)
