2023 BIG GUY BAKER 🎉🎉🎉🎉
@@FatGuyGolfman let me play some golf with you your always right around my house 😂don’t even have to record it🤷♂️
Dude, you don’t know how impressed I am. You’ve come such a LONG way. So impressed.
Really solid golf, John. Shale Creek seems to be your course. The good memories from your 89 are definitely helping. I can tell when you step up to a shot, you’re more confident than you were a year ago. 80’s here we come
WTF!!!! How am I this late? I didn’t get a notification from UA-cam!!! Great playing!!!!
Love this guy, big guy becoming smaller guy!!! Gonna have to rename the channel soon to ripped guy
I am a 9 handicap. I have played for a while. This does not make me an expert. You make great contact and hit the ball well. Just do some drills to straighten the swing, and you will be surprised. Great job keep it up!!
keep the good work john
Let’s go!
Nice front 9👍
Seen all your videos and you have really improved
Some good play, putter was decent, good angles filming, look forward to the back 9 👍
Shale has a lot of hills so I just thought what if I toss this up here and make it like a TV broadcast - I liked it to - plus course was pretty open so I had time to screw around with it
Hi big guy, good to c u
You got this John ;)
looking good dude. keep up the hard work 👍🏼
Super solid nine! When you don't have any penalty strokes, you can really start to score even without your best game
Absolutely
0:54 I would say that backswing stay lower longer and bring club more inside on backswing. looks like picked club up quickly in back swing and outside to inside cut across ball causing it to go short and right.
Hey Mr. John great nine! Was just gonna recommend to helo the cut across, try feeling your shoulders a bit more right which will help your takeaway feel more inside. Excited for the back, hoping you break 90!
What a great round! Excited for the back!
It’s up!!!
@@FatGuyGolf Let's gooo! Can't wait to watch it when I get home.
Finish strong big man!!!
Keep it up big guy your game is not bad love your attitude keeps me coming back. Been here from the start
This is AWESOME 😮🎉 I love this course, short game is on point. Break 90 from the blues is gonna happen 🙌🔥
The putter was on fire 🔥
It wasn’t too bad was it!!! 🤣
Hi man love the channel. I’m also a bigger guy losing weight and trying to get better at golf! I’m from Ohio I would love to get a game in with you. I have really come to love this game man. Keep it up man you got a sub from me.
Big Guy! Drove thru Ohio on the way to Michigan for work, and saw Boulder Creek right on the turnpike, immediately thought everyone's favorite fat guy golf!
Love Boulder too!!
Good to see all of the new uploads. Keep up the good golf and weight loss.
Killer front nine John. Let's have a back nine like that if not better
Excellent 9! You’ve come a long way dude!
Looking good my man, keep up the good work! 👍
LFG! Also...lessons this year finally? After the weight loss and because of the layoff and all
your putting has gotten a lot better. Saved you a lot of strokes
Let's go
oh baby! another killer video from Mr. Baker himself. Keep pumping out the videos brother, love the content
Thank you! Trying to keep up with demand. Hopefully views keep growing to get us back to where we used to be!!
90 from the back tees is always a respectable round. not good or bad but OK. 95 or 100+ is what sucks.
Really enjoy your content! Keep them coming. Great looking course.
Keep up the great work John! Love watching your content!
Killin it bro!
I really gotta get out to some of these courses I either haven't played yet or haven't played since high school
I’m struggling with my irons too! 😡
Love your content. Very relatable for regular people. One thing I might suggest. If you're having to play 400+ yard par 4s from the blues I would suggest moving up to the whites. Definitely would help your confidence to have more birdie putts. Also maybe your right arm is too straight and not tucked into your body? Usually those over the top moves have the right arm getting too dominant.
The whole point was to challenge myself and make it tougher! I like making golf hard 😂
@FatGuyGolf would be fun to see you progress and eventually get fitted and all. This channel has a lot of potential. Wishing you the best this year and going forward
I sliced the ball for over 30 years. I found a UA-cam video, can't remember the name of the two guys that posted it, but it was called the water bottle drill. Basically, teaches you to swing from inside to outside and cures your slice. I did this drill for about 2 weeks and now I very seldom slice the ball. And I was about 60 years old when I started doing it. If you are interested in fixing that slice.
I’ll take a look - I had it fixed for a while getting my right way inside - and then it just went away haha
@@FatGuyGolf Best golf drill I've ever done and you can do it at home without hitting a ball. About every 2 or 3 months, I will do the drill again for about 25 swings and it gets me right back to coming inside to out. Now, 90% of my misses are pulls or pull hooks. I very seldom play the right side of the course anymore. Good luck. Great lag putt on that last hole to. Would have been easy to give up after you topped that second shot.
I got rid of my slice a few years ago. Aim straight. I would always aim for my slice which was a mistake. Another key is to use an intermediate target like 3 to 4 inches in front of the ball on every shot. Just make sure you swing out to that target and the path goes that way. It takes a bit to get use to but it works. And swing out to your target NOT the ball.
3:03 Quote "Everything in that plan worked except the execution of the plan." 🙃
Question. I’m no golf expert for sure, but you can smoke a 3 wood from what I’ve seen. Have you thought about teeing it up low & using the 3 wood off the tee instead of your driver for more distance?
I’ve tried … it doesn’t work - and I am consistent with the driver enough where it’s always 200-240 … 3w would be 180-220 more
8:45 I have noticed more than once your feet actually lined up slightly right of the fairway.
There I was lined up at that tree - fairway opens up down there - I was gonna try to hit a BOMB - but I’ll keep my eye on it partner!
Dude. Your swing really isn’t that bad. Strengthen your left hand and picture a clock as you swing with 12 o clock at the flag. Swing to 1 o clock and good bye slice.
Is your wedge a pitching wedge or like a 52 degree? Also do you think you could start hitting your 3 wood instead of your driver accuracy over distance might not slice it as much
Pw is a 48 - then I have a 52/56/60 - 60 I barely use
WE MISS FAT GUY GOLF
If I could quit my job and pay my basic bills you’d have me full time dude - between wife and two dogs and work and gym - it’s hard finding the time to golf film and edit - don’t ever think I don’t miss you thou
@@FatGuyGolf I understand my man! My 3 buddies and I are located around central Kentucky and watch the channel together. would love to come up and play a round with you this spring, round & beers on us!
Shorten that back swing. Club head inside out with tempo and all will be well.
My back swing is a mess - I think I said on the P5 I was taking a 1/4 swing and it was a full back swing haha - I can’t figure it out
Also, 2.5K views and only 263 likes? Come on people, step it up.
It’s not looking good for me is it haha - we’ve been trending up the whole time but this one’s a dud haha and I feel like it’s easily my best haha
@@FatGuyGolf Part of it might be people don't know you are posting content again!
I’m 5’9” and weigh 265 lbs and you and I both wear 2XL shorts?
You’re are probably too big I imagine. Mine looked right and like a good fit right?
Looks like Mr Baker has dropped a few lbs….
Ok let me help you buddy : take your bag and put it behind you and to the right so you can see it out of your right eye at setup, when your starting your downswing feel like your throwing your hands to the bag behind you to the right, this will naturally improve your swing path and you will hit the ball straight and to a draw with the power behind it “effortless power”
Isn’t that cheating ??? Using something to aid me?
@@FatGuyGolf do it on the range and ingrain that into your swing so on the course you can visualize it
I promise you will find the power and the ball flight you know you can do
Stand about 2 inches closer to the ball
What shot tracer are you using?
