John even through 1: PGA Tour here I come! Literally next hole: Blow up hole MAD respect to you for not cutting out the bad shots, that’s what makes your channel. Keep up the good work man 💪🏻💪🏻

[@FatGuyGolf]

It’s so hard Lol

[@es95best]

Fat Guy Golf I know, last season I went from shooting high 90s to now regular low 80s, got @golf sidekick to thank since my problem was that I just whacked the ball and moved on. Learned that you apparently get better by practicing and thinking through your shots 😅. But like everyone else says, we can really see that your game has improved a lot over the last year, really enjoying your videos from Sweden 👍🏻

[@leecheek5777]

Hey John...I've been binge watching your videos lately...have you ever considered, for your improvement and enjoyment of the game, going to the 6000 yard tees (I am assuming would be equivalent to the white tees) and once your game improves move back to 6400 yards (equivalent to the blue tees - It seems like that's a normal yardage you play based on your intros)...it seems like you hit A LOT of 3 woods into Par 4's (even after a good drive) which I know from experience gets old real quick...once you start shooting better scores consistently, then move back to those tees...I know you may say if your chipping and putting were better, the scores would be better...while true, if you're hitting irons into greens instead of 3 wood, it would help your accuracy and your confidence...I know at points you ask for "swing advice" which I hesitate giving since all our swings are different but I was in your situation at one time and that's what I did and it helped me...now I play around 6400 yards and I hit the ball much better too...

[@danasperling5918]

that low hook 3 wood so outstanding. saw some good golf shots.

[@MacStrokel]

Ready for part 2....

[@bradgingerich6814]

Great video John! You played well minus a couple of holes but no worries...can't wait to see you play the back 9! You got this!

[@jeremysumrall4180]

John, you are the realest golf channel out there. You're an inspiration to those of us who "hope" to be bogey golfers. Thank you so much!

[@all-americandad9780]

I’m a simple man. I see a FatGuyGolf video, I click and watch.

[@aarona9781]

I can’t believe you don’t have more subscribers. I’ve golfed once in my life and watch all your videos.

[@FatGuyGolf]

Haha thanks man

[@Rinparaj]

That 9th hole was perfect. Your mental game on the 9th hole and taking time for your putts I think really shows with those makes.

[@walkerjackson7188]

BEAUTIFUL golf those last few holes!!

[@evansmeltzer1511]

LETS GO BAKER!!! THIS IS THE GOLF WE KNOW YOU CAN PLAY AND U STILL HAD TWO TRIPLES! Keep grinding and these scores will be lower and lower!

[@fairwaysgolfohio]

That’s a heck of a second shot on #7! Great video and appreciate you coming out to Mallard Creek today for a round. Hope we will have you back again soon, Baker!

[@adambarna9385]

Your videos are the best man, keep up the grind!

[@bradjohnson8991]

Awesome to see you step up those last two holes and hit your goal big guy! Video idea... Once the range is open again it would be cool to see you practice hitting different shots. "Ok I'm gonna hit this driver straight, then draw then fade" 10 pw in a row challenge to hit the 100 yd "green" fun little things to help your confidence on the course. Putting looks good!! When you are confident like those last two holes these vlogs are getting really satisfying to watch. Keep up the good work!

[@TVZ222]

I've only been watching the channel for a couple weeks, but I definitely see an improvement in your game. The long putting is looking pretty solid and that's clutch. If you have that confidence in your putter, it really starts to free up the chipping and pitching. Love the channel man, keep it up.

[@chadcook3709]

Drive looking good! Only noticed once where you came over the top and pulled it. 👍👊

[@tbintennessee]

John, buddy.... I'm addicted to your videos so I find myself checking for your next 9 holes a few times a day, and this is knowing that I have the alerts on....

[@eoghanahern5887]

John I’m from Ireland and I still watch ur videos keep up with the weight loss

[@Superku]

Glad the Vlogs are back! 👍

[@AdamFerrari64]

You’re super good at 2nd shots (cuts/draws) behind trees. You get a lot of practice thanks to your drives! 😂👌🏻

[@graemetooley4934]

One of the better front nines ive seen from you! Definitely some great shots in there and I can't wait to see how far you can progress this year!

[@weaslemanatu]

Nice 9 John! Looking better all the time.

[@matthewmeadows1617]

The golf course is open during the COVID-19 pandemic? I’m so jealous. I want to play 9 with you of course keep 6+ feet away in a separate golf cart.

I’ve watched every video more than a few times during quarantine, and I can’t say Im not enjoying it

[@joeyorlando547]

same lol

[@georgedavey9702]

Lol, it's in the doughnut! 👍🏻

[@scottsmith8546]

Bogey golf! That's a phenomenal improvement!! Way to go John, keep up the great work. BTW - make yourself do the extra little bit of work, by walking around up to the green on some of the pitches and walk around the green to get good reads all the time.

[@toobigdotnet]

So jealous.....our gov here in Michigan wont give us a clear answer on if we can golf or not.... However I did notice something that might not have been pointed out to you. Your balance is off on the hits/hooks to the left. I’m no expert but I’ve been told and it helps for us big guy an to try and put more weight on the balls of our feet almost like we’re leaning more forward over the ball. This has helped me big time. Stay safe my friend!!!

[@carter4581]

Two clutch pars on the last two holes. Practice your short game at home and you could be shooting low 40s easily. I love your channel John, good luck in the future!

[@jpelfrey325]

Yeah buddy! Keep at it my man

[@TaiNiPoni]

The main thing about short game is feel. You have to have a feel for the green speed and a feel for the greens hardness or softness. Also one thing that I see people do when the are chipping or pitching is that take way to big of a back swing and they slow their swing down on the way down and either top the ball or chunk it or blade it. Try taking a smaller backswing on chips and pitches and make sure you keep your head down and follow through with your shot. Don’t slow your swing down in the down swing or speed it up. Smooth steady chip and pitch shots. You don’t have to make every pitch and every chip just get it close enough you can make a putt.

[@uscbigfan2011]

Really good pars coming in and nice short game adjustments, always the signs of improvement

[@ortega2424]

Dude, you are my Tiger Woods during this time. Need to step your game up!! :) Just kidding, always enjoy your videos!

[@brodywinrow9222]

Your playing better ! Great job

[@grahamtunnell6738]

Love the videos man, keep it up!

[@JD80553]

Big guy! Started off the first 9 great, but the solution to your fairway accuracy is to reduce power and focus more on your swing technique. Master that, then increase power again, and you be getting more birdies and pars!

[@JO-yg8cy]

Hell of a round!

[@fredrickmiller2799]

Love the videos. I have shared your page with a few of my friends. We all play the same as you. Keep it up I can't wait to see you break 90

[@dw-nb2zh]

Keep coming with these. Love these over the other nonsensical golf vlogs, with their "dudes", "let's go" and other various nonsense like playing with one club or left handed.

[@calebevans4516]

Just tag them why don’t you.

[@dw-nb2zh]

@@calebevans4516 Why would I tag them? I don't follow them. "Can we shoot a 29 in a 3 man scramble with 46 mulligans?" is stupid - i don't watch.

GREAT 2nd shot on #6

[@jeffbean779]

John I’m sure you’ve heard of this, but whenever I’m on the fringe of the green or even 5-10yards off, I’ll chip with a 7 iron. Works wonders for me.

[@johnfiorvento7875]

Pretty solid front 9

[@Rekleiner88]

Solid round big guy! Keep on improving!

[@hulksmashgolf1330]

Great round big guy! Try and get the upper body to move with the hips on the drive. The upper body is beating the hips to the ball. Think about a baseball field and swing to the second basemen. Your hands will naturally turn over. Great job and best of luck! It’s in the doughnut! Maybe your next t-shirt!?

[@t99155]

Great putt attempt on the 1st hole bud!

[@SBPlayz829]

Good score John, ur playing much better, great to see brotha

[@stevenstewart1308]

I'm so jealous that you get to play. In Ontario we've closed all non- essential business and golf courses are in that.

Its the same here in California man. But its for the good of the masses, and probably to balance those retarded spring breakers in Florida.

Hey big man, I subscribed a few months back dude you are really showing some improvement!!!

[@FatGuyGolf]

Thanks

[@ronrobertson9324]

John, I have been a fan of yours since the beginning. You are improving every round. Would like to play a round with you since I don't live all that far from ya. Have you ever played any courses in my neck of the woods such as Yankee Run, Salem Hills,Flying Bee, Riverview. One of my fav. courses is Sable Creek & 7 Hills in Hartville. Keep on improving pal. You will be shooting in the 80's soon.

[@chestermorningstar1958]

"Get sticky.........Ooo thats nice"👍

[@tracymcdonald8648]

John, last year I was in the same boat with my game. Watch Golf Sidekick videos, it changed my thought process and I even shot an 80 twice at the end of the summer.

[@aleronalexander670]

As much as I hate the soggy shoes after the first rounds, I really looking forward to golfing soon!

[@FatGuyGolf]

I’ve drove home barefoot after every round this year cause I’ve been soaked

[@aleronalexander670]

For the love of the game

[@rodneyjohnson1528]

Solid front 9 big guy keep it up. Where can I find the ball markers

[@jeradsmith2286]

If you can limit the triples you will continue to drop lower and lower. Good 9!

[@CutHardstylez]

Putting's been pretty good lately!

[@marcosmunoz3385]

Great scramble

[@doorboyyy]

4 pars out of 9 nice! I know I'm not telling you anything you don't already know but get those other 5 down to bogeys and that score card will look nice. Good work

[@carterkole9677]

"PGA tour here I come" -John Baker

[@nightvampire1]

Scored fairly well today. Just need to keep those triples to singles and doubles and it will really clean up.

[@UndoMove]

you played reallly well other than those triples

[@bassinRN]

Much more consistency on this ☝️one. Keep swinging🏌🏼‍♂️

[@justinhicks2947]

I've experienced this in my game before so try to hear me out... You've gained a lot of muscle so you want to crush the ball, but that speeds up your tempo and forces the hooks. Slow it down, a nice relaxed swing will yield straighter shots with a surprising amount of distance. Keep it up John, love the videos. also stay safe out there!

[@finss15]

awesome job

[@marianbaseball]

Nice round! If you just turn those blow up holes into single bogeys, you’ll shoot in the 80s consistently. (Easier said than done, obviously)

[@joannacameron613]

You should come to Vancouver bc after corona and play with me we have beautiful courses

[@foreskinawareness3697]

Your beard looking good man!

[@FatGuyGolf]

Lol thanks

[@MaxPidgeon]

Hey Jon, if you do see this comment then awesome but what I was going to talk about is course expectations. What I would recommend is this: hit every par 3 green in two shots or less, every par 4 green in three shots or less, and every par 5 green in 4 shots or less. If you can putt 36 times and follow the requirements above, you should find a score under 90! I know it sounds easier than done, but on a 400 yard hole you could hit 5 iron, 5 iron, and your 100 yard club if the driver and woods aren’t working.

[@mikerage127]

Good Job

[@fishingflipsvlogs2594]

@Rajesh Inparaj I know what a bummer, stay safe!

[@ntaylor1409]

damn this course looks very simple. I think I’d shoot a only a few over on here for sure. I normally play on a slope of 145 where I live as there is many difficult courses near me

[@FatGuyGolf]

No you don’t haha Show me one scorecard with a 145 slope... you mean you only play bethpage black?

[@ntaylor1409]

Fat Guy Golf my home course has a slope of 140 and the surrounding courses around me are very close to that

[@larrywhipit5204]

@0:37 What do you call that shot? You didn't follow trough. (good shot though)

[@AdamFerrari64]

I shot a 92 yesterday on a round after 9 holes I thought I was gonna break 90. But then my short game fell apart on 1 hole I got a triple bogey after being green side for my 3rd shot on a par 4. Dats not good!

[@jpmgolf2782]

After 3 I didn’t think +9 was going to happen but solid effort

[@FatGuyGolf]

Me neither

[@meechgolfs859]

Mallard always has the short flags during winter season its not for the pandemic

[@fairwaysgolfohio]

Meech Golfs winter yes, but we switched to spring setup a week or so ago. With the recent events and doing the most to be proactive, we figured the shorter flags apply the “no touch” rule a lot more effectively.
