Any other exercise will only strengthen specific muscle groups (not that other forms of exercise are bad) but when you swing a heavy club you are using every muscle that is used during the swing itself.

Swing the weighted club slowly, not at your normal swing speed.  Slower rotation will avoid injury and develop better timing.  Use the heavy club the night before a round, not the same day, and be sure to aim for a specific target.
