    Nice try buddy, those are two completely different people!

    Thought that was 2 different guys! Swing looks great brother

    I’ve been there. The belly can definitely get you stuck in your swing. It’s easier to clear your hips and leave space for your arms when you don’t got the belly.

    I dunno, having a huge ass can help. Source: my uncle

    i mean, it makes just about everything harder, not just golf. congrats on the weight loss man that’s great accomplishment.

    Interesting…how is your distance? I had lost 100 this past year and definitely feel like I lost distance

    Congrats, what an awesome transformation! Jealous of how far you can turn that shoulder back…great flexibility

    What change would you say made the biggest difference towards losing the weight?

  9. Good for you my friend. I lost 130lbs myself. I actually took up golf to help in my weight loss journey. Once I got half the weight off I joined a local course and started walking 9 holes 2-3 times a week.

    Brother I’ve lost 110 lbs overall and haven’t swung a club since last September.. (~60lbs since then) I’m so curious how it’ll have changed my mechanics.

    And, congratulations 🤜🤛

    Fantastic work!

    Also I am taking this as evidence that Im upping my handicap with my golf group due to my weight handicap

  12. I picked up a 12kg/26lb box and stood on the scales to weigh it. 102kg/225lb I remember weighing more than that this time last year. my word that box was so heavy…

    I am definitely a better golfer now. Just a touch shorter, I think a solid year working on getting stronger not loosing weight and I’ll get the distance back plus.

    If you don’t mind sharing, how did you lose the weight?

    Craig Stadler and Joann Carner were successful despite being overweight. When Stadler lost weight it actually screwed up his swing if I recall correctly.

    I can’t imagine what 130lb less feels like, I’ve lost 20lbs over the last few months and I feel fantastic

  17. FatFaceFaster

    Congrats man. As my username indicates, I suffer from fatness too.

    I was a +2 when I was 170lbs. I’m a 10 as a 225lb.

    Now lots of other life changes in there but that includes a bad back which is directly related to my weight.

    I gotta take some inspiration from you and lose some weight so I can enjoy things again.
