Popular Post TheBogeySmalls Posted June 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 9, 2020 Hello everyone, I used to be 600lbs and either on my way to not being here or would prob have been disabled. I had to make a drastic change and would have WLS to drop over 235lbs so far. During that time I would fall in love with the game of fold. So much so that I decided to use golf as motivator to keep going. I wanted to document my journey so I created a youtube channel to record my rounds and course vlogs. I'm always open to honest criticism and tips that anyone sees from the game where it can help me out. I've only been playing for not even 2 full seasons. Just looking to connect and make new friends even if from afar within the golf community.

I'll be bringing golf course vlogs, golf product reviews, golf simulator sessions from my home garage setup, and a whole lot more!

Kor.A.Door Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Great job on the weight loss. The golf swing looks good. The greens looked to be a bit slow that day though. I guess that early spring in Michigan. cksurfdude 1 Quote Lefties are always in their Right Mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First .. big CONGRATS!! on setting your mind to make positive changes Next.. we are all .. ALWAYS .. trying to learn to read greens better! Along with every other party of the game. See: that's one of the big draws in golf - at any, and every, level of player you're constantly seeking "better" (whatever the f*** that is ).

Tom the Golf Nut Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Great to hear about both of your journeys. One is hard enough, but you took on two of the hardest ones out there at the same time.

Kenny B Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Great job getting your life back together. Lots of stories about people and how golf has had a positive impact on their life. Thanks for sharing. Your game looks pretty good for someone only playing for less than 2 seasons. Keep it up!!

sahrenity Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 (edited) Golf is a great way to lose weight. For instance, when you carry your bag and walk 18 holes, you'll burn 1,500 calories, which is more than half the recommended calorie intake for a male golfer on any given day. https://fine-health.com/category/celebrities/ - that's how many celebrities lose weight too.
