Hello,

Im new to golf, VERY, new to golf...
I picked it up, thinking that a brisk walk once a week would be good for my more than prosperous mid section...lol
I see alot of pro's who are not exactly skinny and they have no problems scoring 5-12 under on any given course.
Are there any special things i should know about playing around all this gut? I mean I have a terrible slice and i practice the techniques i read on this forum, and they help alot. But does anyone have any advice for a fat man other than to lose the wieght? ....lol Fat men need par too...

Thanks

Hi Clint,

Follow this link and look at his swing..............................don't beat yourself up golf is a lot easier for a big man, just a simple turn back and through is all it takes, enjoy your golf.

Think yourself lucky you don't have arms like shoe laces, wandering all over the place on the backswing.

Craig is a great player.

Ian.
