- Welcome Back for the 2023 Season! I'm John Baker and this is Fat Guy Golf. Follow me on my journey from a 600lb 28 handicap as I've worked my way down to 423lbs and transformed my body with weight lifting and have gotten a little better at golf!!
Shale Creek Returns! I'm 8 over par through 9 on a par 71. Need to finish PLUS 18!! This is one of the best course in NE Ohio and my personal favorite. Hope you guys enjoy the video!

The only way to get better is to be honest with yourself. Respect on the self-governed out of bounds call!
It was the hardest decision I’ve ever had to make on a golf course - it was heart breaking
As someone who lives in the Cleveland/Akron area, I'm definitively enjoying these. Hope to see more this spring!
Hitting more fairways. Hitting more greens!! Nice!
I live around the corner from that course... nice to see you back bro it's not the easiest course, dont be disappointed.
Let’s go John I believe in ya
You have gotten a lot better from where you were at a few years ago. Keep up the good work and we play a lot of these NEO golf courses and is always on the lookout for you.
That's a decent round, minus a couple holes!
I enjoy your videos - good to see them again
I think the best tip for someone to get better at golf is be confident. When you are at home before you leave to the course, you already have to be thinking about what score you will shoot. And aiming for the lower end of what you usually shoot. If you usually shoot 90 you gotta be thinking to go for low 80's. Don't bring many golf balls with you. Plan on using only 1 ball for the whole round. So important not to lose a golf ball in the water or OB etc. The most strokes are lost from water ob and missing short putts.
You jinxed it John, never talk about how well you’re playing in the middle of a round. Love the channel, keep grinding
I know!! I wasn’t even drinking!!! Don’t know how I screwed that up by teasing the golf gods
grinding! that was fun to watch
Chin up big man, you get there in the end
Now this is content! I absolutely love watching you golf, smile, and crush those swings!❤
On point with the driver big guy. You will definitely be on 85 before end of summer. Just a few things to clean up.
That's the plan!
Look at the improvement you've made over the years ! For most of us, hitting a 3-wood off a tight deck is low-percentage shot - I opt for the 5 wood. 7:00
I love to play at Shale. Such a nice course
Golf will repay you back for your honesty. Great round
When it comes to personal bests just let it come. You don't have to think about it. My lowest scores have come from not worrying about my score when playing. Keep it up.
Nah. That’s what makes it fun & makes you keep on coming back. If you get to a point where you make it a point you want to try for your personal round, that means your playing well & having fun & there is nothing wrong with that.
How I got a 65 on a par 72 one time it was because I was “in the zone” with 9 birdies and 1 double bogey. I did not have to worry about scoring moved on after a double bogey thinking of my happy place and finished with 3 pars and 1 birdie. That was over a decade ago 😢
@@ColbyONE wasn't knocking him trying his PB. Just telling him it will come when you aren't even worried about your score.
Man new to the channel and will be here for the ride from now on Bro!!
Welcome aboard!
I'd take a 90 every time out. Keep going brother!
Solid round! Love stubbling across channels that are “local” ish to my area (Cincinnati) lol. Been hearing about this course for a bit now and going to make my way up to Cleveland for some rounds!
Good stuff, Bakes! This game is unforgiving haha
Tell me about it
Great round inbound 💪🏻 can’t wait for the next video
Grew up in Illinois, live in Arizona now... I miss golfing in the Midwest. That is my kind of course. Keep at it John!
You are an inspiration, sending you positive vibes. Keep up the great work and I always look forward to the next video.
Great round John! Your game has improved so much. Keep it up my man 👊
"And of course we bury it . . . "😂
Why not right
New to channel. Enjoyed.
Keep at it, John! Looking good my man.
great round and rebound at the end. Been fun watching you get so much better -- im an ohio guy too in cbus, so it's fun watching you play courses i know
I can't stop laughing thinking if that guy had yelled "Fat Guy Golf" at someone that wasn't you. What an awkward exchange that would turn into. LOL
People are always nervous when asking me cause they don’t want to call some random dude fat - he yelled John first you can kinda hear it haha
Looking good bro. Keep the weight loss and improving ball striking going
Great watch man. Proper honest golf. Should have been sub 90 if you tighten up on the greens. That slice needs binning - its costing yer. That said though, your driving much better 👍
Yes love when he drops a new video.
I love when you watch it
Great vid, John. Really enjoy taking the journey with you through these rounds. Work on your lag putting. If you get that dialed in you'll shave 5 strokes without changing anything else. For real for real! Keep working my guy!
Good round.. maybe time to checkout way of the playa by golf sidekick yt. Instead of putting unecessary pressure by constantly looking at your scorecard. Just aim for bogeys and count it at the end. When you dont put too much pressure youre stroke on putting looks smoooove. Lets get that 89 next time! Cheering for you brother from across the pacific ocean!
It happens man. Hope to see you out at a course this year
Love the channel and the content, thank you brother
Glad you enjoy it!
That was a wild ride, I’m speechless 🤯 keep your head up John 🔥
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice round, big man! Piping those drives. Some nice putts too. I’d be ecstatic.
I should be - but to be so close lol
Great round, man!
Driver was good today, great stuff, nice editing john with some nice camera angles, look forward to the next round 👍
Thanks 👍
When John Baker uploads.. you watch
YES! LMAO
Love you channel! Keep it up. What do you think happened to your drive on the 13th hole to go OB? You had been hitting driver so good that day.
You played good!!! On the right track!
Better every time
Great round John! Love to see you back. Could you do a quick what’s in the bag before your next round? Curious on your equipment 💪🏽
Yeah I can do that
let’s gooo!
Keep trying big guy, don't give up.
Very glad you didn’t put the first shot on 11 into the straw in front of you like last time
John, a 46 with two triples is nothing to be ashamed of. You seem to know what you're doing at shale creek. Everyone should have a course they feel super confident with and know they can just tear it up everytime. I'd really like to see you give it another go at this course. You proved with this round you have 83 in you. Keep it up, man! Congrats on 20K btw
Thank you!
Sometimes one part of our game lets us down. You tamed your driver and played decent with the shorter clubs. You just had a rhythm issue with the putter or maybe the speed of the greens was hard to figure. Even with the added strokes and penalty you still scored a 90. Good work. Lots of positives.
That last drive was absolutely piped , I can feel 85 in the not so distant future, if you can get that short game going
🤞🏻🤞🏻
3:28 I'm so mad for you that that didn't drop... lol
On the high side too!!! Gravity been fighting me for 30 years help me out one time!!!
If i can please just give one suggestion! Your head starts moving as wheels come off. Please!just for a guy that jas watched EVERY video since the beginning! (You were the first video i watched on UA-cam!!!) Go out and ONLY ONLY ONLY,just kerp your jead down! Only think of that! Your irons,and putting will amaze you!promise! Dont look up till ball is gone! Thanks for coming back brother! Now go get um big guy@
youre playing a lot better john than 2 years ago keep it up buddy
dont be too hard on yourself the 80's will come soon
That bunker shot was amazing! I think it’s time you get your revenge on Rawiga 👀👀
Haha that was my bunker to
Bunker to bunker wasn’t it??? I forgot about all that
@@FatGuyGolf yep!! The “8,0” on the scorecard
First like and first comment. Comeon John!!
Great round John! 90 is awesome
Thank you!
@3.43...you technically whiffed your 1/2 inch putt. That is technically a double. LOL
I don’t think I touched it and whiffing in the green isn’t a stroke I don’t think hahaha
@@FatGuyGolf Any stroke in which your intent was to hit the ball and you miss, is automatically considered a stroke. It doesn't matter where on the course it happens. You were putting for bogey and whiffed your bogey putt. You put it in the hole on your 6th stroke. I'm only saying that because, in a tournament, I did the exact same thing and was called on it.
If you keep killing the driver like this you could be looking at a murder charge. Great progress ! Love the videos !
PLEASE COME BACK
You just ran out of gas like we all do. Heck of a round!
Big boy only gets 8 miles to the gallon lol
@@FatGuyGolf I hear you man. Same here. Great content.
OB you re-tee and hit 3rd. Lateral (out 1 drop 2 hit 3) there’s no “just take one”…
I didn’t take one lol - I took a TWO stroke penalty boss - that’s what you do when pace of play is in issue and you can’t go back to the tee box
You should give yourself a pat on the back for shooting 90 with an OB. You now know you can break 90.
Absolutely
Bro, black shirt in the sun is a bad idea
I would like too play this guy cuz I shoot about the same…Ull get too personal record of 85.. my best is 88
Imagine if it wasn't Fat Guy Golf ? That dude would have had some explaining to do !
I don’t know what that means???
@@FatGuyGolf At the 6:25 mark, a stranger yells, "Fat Guy Golf ?" and you respond, yeah. I was imagining the scenario if that wasn't you. How embarrassed the other guy would have been to have yelled that at a random stranger and then felt the need to explain himself.... I'll see myself out
Do you practice golf a few days, putt, chip, pitch? then play a round?
Try to - not much though
@@FatGuyGolf You hit the ball far bet you would break 85 easy if you improved your short game. But you know that.
Golf is a cruel mistress; she'll give you some joy before smacking you down. Then, she'll allow you a glimpse of what could be on the last hole. Just in time to keep you coming back.
Nailed it!
If you are a 24 handicap then surely a 90 is great? Even 93-94 is a good score with a 24hc.
Though I would say a 20 handicap would be more accurate for you, and maybe you just dont hand enough scorecards in for it to change from the 24. (Im scottish and maybe the handicap system over there differs slightly also
Not enough scorecards yet in the last 2 years - I’ll be a 17-18 by end of season
You should play fat parez
I’m BlockBuster - Fat Perez is Netflix. I was cool a decade ago but he does it better all around. He’s the best fat guy out there but I’m still the OG. Won’t find a fatter golfer with more success before me on UA-cam. That being said. I’ve faded to obscurity- can’t keep up with it and they get Paige and Rahm. FGG wouldn’t bring the views for them. @bobdoessports just makes GREAT content. They got it figured out.
Come back
Thank you
Why did you take 2 strokes on the out of bounds? We just take a stroke
Supposed to re tee and hit 3 on a lost ball or OB. New local rule if don’t have time to go back can drop on line in fairway for 4
@FatGuyGolf wow. Ok. We do not play that. We have Mulligan allowed per each 9, and only 1 stroke if OB. Feel your pain, we have the same type of rounds on our channel.
Nice try. It'll happen, soon
Did the biggest loser gig not happen?
90 is AWESOME! I know it hurts but you played incredible, man. You should be really proud of the way you played and your game is rounding out nicely. Kudos, FGG!!
especially at Shale
Let’s get together and play a round man seriously I can help you shave strokes and help the channel grow
