When I watch pros on television address the golf ball, I see precision and attention to their posture. When I see recreational players address the ball, I see quick and sloppy with little, if any, attention to their posture. Balance, athleticism, proper angles, and tilts are the key elements of posture. If done correctly, you are making it easier for the clubhead to do its job; strike the ball with speed and power.
What do I mean when I refer to posture?

The shaft-to-spine visualization is a good method to visualize consistent posture and to maintain that posture through the swing. As you turn into the backswing and come down through impact, visualize turning around the shaft without changing the shaft’s angle. This will help you feel the correct spine angle and stay in your posture.
