Concentrate on building your base (legs) and core (abs, back, chest).
Legs: squats, lunges, running, leg lifts, etc.
Abs/Back: crunches, sit-ups, anything that works your obliques to help with all the twisting you’ll encounter in golf; supermans, other LIGHT exercises for your back – don’t over do it!
Chest: bench press (level, incline, decline), butterfly press, push-ups
Check Men’s Health for other exercise ideas.
One other tip: work on your balance and flexibility – range of motion is important in most sports, but comes into play quite a bit in golf. Keep yourself limber and flexible and you’ll get an extra power boost.

lots of push ups, sit ups and hand held weights is a good start. At your age you should be lifting much weight I would say about 2 kg weights would be good for you.

You shot a 51? You must be talking about 9 holes.

Practice your short game. Learn the proper way to chip and putt and the rest of it will take care of itself.
