wow after binging your videos and seeing you miss a bunch of putts even i gave an involuntary fist pump when you sunk that putt at 2:30 LOL. Keep it up man love the videos! If you're ever in NY I'd love to play a round with you!!
Yeah been watching you for 2-3 years now John, I gotta say great improvement over such a short time! Try putting left hand low. I see you have a tendency to try and "control" the ball with the putter, or you get "flippy" with the wrists.(can cause inconsistency) Just practice left hand low and it will give you a feel of using the body to drag the putter through, once you feel comfortable with that then judge for yourself about switching back. Left hand low (like putting backwards left handed) has improved my speed with putting. Hope that helps big guy, keep doing what your doing! Great job! Thank you sir, and I always enjoy the content!
I am NOT one to give anybody golf lessons, this is just an observation- I think most of the good hits you had, you were standing closer to the ball. Keep up the videos :)
@@FatGuyGolf cool. I appreciate it. Yeah I went there and was gone. Maybe Facebook marketplace or Etsy for the time being? Just trying to help. Thanks for the videos man.
Loving the fact you're showing live to the great game of golf. You'll get better and better off you keep working at it. Use your body not your hands on short game. BTW no way Shawn is a 8 handicap. 12-15 IMO
@@shawnpetrarca2649 I do know how handicaps work. I'm 13.5. I've only seen this one video but from what I saw the short game was not up to level. As I say though I only have one round to judge. Not trying to be a hater.
Have you ever considered using a 8iron bump and run instead of those long putts off the green ? Just swing it like a putter and the club will do all the work
I feel for ya Shawn. I thought I was recording my zip-lining on our honeymooning Kauai last year (something’s she’s wanted to do for years now) and when we went back to watch it, it stopped just before she started to go. 😞🤦🏻♂️
Hate to be a stickler on distance but that was more like a 30 footer. Still an awesome clutch putt and sorry we missed one of your best. Keep up the great videos big guy.
Geez...You guys need to lighten up a little, after all this is early spring golf. It takes everybody a while to get back in the groove. Not to mention the courses aren't in shape yet. Chalk this up to practice rounds for the season. Don't get frustrated with your game or yourself. Keep it up!!
I know you don't need internet golf tips but to keep myself from pulling my shots left i just make sure i i have the feeling of hitting the inside of the ball. You really can't pull it left from that position. Stops me from coming over the top and pulling
Ohhh yeah I’m getting embarrassed to film at the gym for some reason and without a camera person it’s a pain in the ass and I’m trying to find a solution
OK> thru the use of some clever editing, you could have just re-enacted the whole scene. Or superimposed a shot tracer to show the roll of the ball. I got my only hole in one on nmbr 6 par 3 at Cedar Brook CC in NC and there was not a soul around. When I picked up my ball out of the hole, I said.... God, You saw it...
Everytime you pull and snap hook your driver you've got some crazy ugly chicken wing with you right arm. Keep that arm tight to your body and you'll likely stop coming over the top so hard and I'd guess you'll clear up the big stick. Every single time you slice or shank you are cutting your swing short. Follow through smoothly and id be willing to bet you'll slice and shank waaaaay less. Your short game....just watch the dang ball and stop pulling your head! Keep the sway in your body down to while chipping or playing short. Spend some time with the club pros in your area and lock some of this down!! I enjoy the videos bud.
hey john if you ever want to come play golf in wisconsin I have a deal at whistling straits where I can bring guests for 25 bucks. There are 2 courses at whistling straits: The straits course where the ryder cup will be played, and the irish course which is the one we can play. It is a very fun course, let me know if you are interested 👍
John I know you get a zillion swing tips in every video but lately the videos I've seen you've changed your swing and basically are hitting what looks like punch shots on every swing. You're not rotating like you used to. In the previous video (I think) Shaun was giving you a tip and what he was doing was trying to get your backswing on plane. If it's not on plane then you're going to be fighting the downswing all the way to get it back square. Try keeping the clubface low and pointed at the ball for the first foot of the backswing then allow your arms to naturally rotate into your turn. At impact don't let your left shoulder fly open and your head behind the ball.
Time to get rid of those shovel irons for something a little smaller and less offset. Your ballstriking is improving dramatically, and the extra height is killing your accuracy at this point, John
John, So I hear you saying you miss your original cameraman huh...? Shawn, Some people are meant to be on camera (you); and some meant to be behind it (me). - Tim 👀
@@FatGuyGolf Just because he hits it better than you, doesn't mean he'll give you good advice on what will help YOU specifically. Rick Shiels is a pro who studies the game for a job, and he knows the science. And pros on the pga tour shoots 80's so....at the end of the day it's about consistency. Shawn will never be a scratch golfer because his swing brings in to many inconsistencies.
John putting from 20 ft away while in the rough: “make a putt, please just make a putt”
Always trying to win now
I love your comentary. Some of the most enjoyable videos around. Thanks for your total honesty. Us hacks need that!
wow after binging your videos and seeing you miss a bunch of putts even i gave an involuntary fist pump when you sunk that putt at 2:30 LOL. Keep it up man love the videos! If you're ever in NY I'd love to play a round with you!!
This is the first of your videos to come up in my feed in months fella. Glad to see it there again.
Man come on UA-cam and put my stuff up there! No live sports I should be blowing up
Great video I would like to see the 4 man scrambled back again they were epic
Love your channel friend! I tend to hit outside to in also and just cannot stop it!
So frustrating
Man, those greens are slick.... Fun match to watch!
Surprisingly for winter
You guys and Tim are really fun to watch play. Sucks about the putt but stuff happens, it would’ve been really cool to see
Great video man... keep it up!!

Awesome video John!!! I’m so mad your big putt isn’t on video! Man that would’ve been nice to see!!!
Love the videos man!!! Hope you keep doing this
Congrats on the great putt! Keep positive and keep up the good hard work! Maybe I’ll see ya around the courses in Ohio
Showing some love from Manitoba Canada, my igloo says hello John!
"All Those muscles." What a riff
I am NOT one to give anybody golf lessons, this is just an observation- I think most of the good hits you had, you were standing closer to the ball. Keep up the videos :)
A like for the putt... I believe you big dawg!
I played today for the first time this year and it was not a pleasant sight😂😂 my spice is so bad. Keep it up big guy love ur vids
I'm sure it was an epic shot John !!
Great putt .. great friends.
I believe you John. You played awesome! keep improving!!
Great video love the Shawn🤦♀️
Love you videos man keep up the good work!!! Can you make a video that shows us the equipment you use to make these videos?
It’s literally an iPhone and tripod haha
What app do you use for your shot tracker?
Im the fan who saw the putt go in
Ok, im not. But i believe it did. You cant fake emotion that well without an Oscar.
Swing to the right!!!
Good Video bud!
What shot tracer do you use.
Love this channel and your attitude keep it up my man.
Golf tracer app
Looked better this round!
Love turkeyfoot
Beautiful putt on 14 Yeah Man
How do you get the shot tracer and yardage displayed? I’d love to try it for a round.
Lot of work on golf tracer app
Do you ever think about using a 3 or 4 hybrid when just off the Green instead of your Putter.
Where can I get a ball marker?
Godaddy messes up my website
Looking into other options
@@FatGuyGolf cool. I appreciate it. Yeah I went there and was gone. Maybe Facebook marketplace or Etsy for the time being? Just trying to help. Thanks for the videos man.
Loge ur ball markers as well💯💯
Your letting up on your swing causes your snatch hook..Pretend you're on the simulator and just swing the friggin club..
Keep playing big man. Its coming. Its coming.
I feel it too
It’s right there
When are you guys going to Boulder?
I’m editing it today
Nice would love to join sometime!
We need a playoff hole
All good man. You don't seem like the kind of guy that would make stuff up so I believe that the putt went in
Loving the fact you're showing live to the great game of golf. You'll get better and better off you keep working at it. Use your body not your hands on short game.
BTW no way Shawn is a 8 handicap. 12-15 IMO
phil Beynon IMO you have no idea how handicaps work. Feel free to look me up on USGA GHIN under Shawn Petrarca 👍🏻
@@shawnpetrarca2649 I do know how handicaps work. I'm 13.5. I've only seen this one video but from what I saw the short game was not up to level. As I say though I only have one round to judge. Not trying to be a hater.
“I’m thinking just tap it” ripssss a putt down hill lol that wasn’t a tap by far my friend
Have you ever considered using a 8iron bump and run instead of those long putts off the green ? Just swing it like a putter and the club will do all the work

John, if it makes you feel better, I made a 50ft par save on a par 3 where my drive was in the woods (playable). Nobody believed it happened 😅
If I didn't see the putt it's like it never happened 😄😅
You should make Shawn your editor and he can decide which shots we get to see.
I’ll let him know lol
Hate to be a stickler on distance but that was more like a 30 footer. Still an awesome clutch putt and sorry we missed one of your best. Keep up the great videos big guy.

When people watch you play golf and have expectations of you it’s difficult to ignore that
I know you don't need internet golf tips but to keep myself from pulling my shots left i just make sure i i have the feeling of hitting the inside of the ball. You really can't pull it left from that position. Stops me from coming over the top and pulling
Keep your wrist firm when chipping
Just watched part 1 and 2, I'm a big boy to love golf and also bad at it, love from Canada
Ps. Shawn🖕lol jk
You seem like an Ohio native as you play a lot of golf there
Correct
@@FatGuyGolf as a fellow buckeye State native, live in Texas now, been having a blast watching your vlogs. I hail from the Delaware region.
even if i didnt say your 50 footer i know that you did it congrats to you
It was so sexy
Where’s Tim !
gg, practice on a chipping / putting green instead of playing 9 holes and your short game will improve
Still waiting on those work out vids! I’m sensing you’ve quit on us 😢
Not at all
Fans don’t like them on this channel
Fat Guy Golf Right but no updates on that one is why I ask.
Ohhh yeah I’m getting embarrassed to film at the gym for some reason and without a camera person it’s a pain in the ass and I’m trying to find a solution

Especially get some new wedges. You have no feel and control when you have such huge heads, time to learn a new library of shots

hole 18 is just criminal... close to the road, driving cars, any shank would kill someone.. he managed to stay on the filed for a few meters infact
Bogey felt like a win
I love Shawn but CMON how can he mess up the film on that 50 ft putt 😅
madgameradam honest mistake. I’m the worst
Shawn Petrarca Lol it’s ok fam we all know he drained that thing :)
Like to see you play golf with another big guy - min. 300lbs - more apples-apples. I'm a big guy.
The bad fade my be because you right hand is doing to much just a thought
50 footer missed. Bummer.
I was so sad
It was the best celebration too
To halve the match...
@@FatGuyGolf Shawn looked crushed that he missed it.

Clutch putt on film or not. Bro just don't over think on the course just step up and hit the ball
Is it possible to get a ball marker anymore? Us fat guys gotta stick together. It makes those skinny people nervous

Fix that pitching technique and you'd save 6 shots a round, and would have won this match at least 2&1!
Worked on it before the next video
Definitely saved me some strokes
Just gotta figure out how to hit a fairway
Get rid of that 2 ball putter they suck..

- Tim 👀
Well he isn’t here
Too busy raising a little human
Take practice swings that stop at the top of the backswing to work in your top position if you fix this you will gain 20 + yards and tons of control
Yeah I’m trying
Fat Guy Golf atta boy
Don't get lessons from Shawn lol his swing is way off plane, big over the top slicer swing.
He’s better than me and who’s better? rick shiels.... he was 4 over in his last video
