Been watching for a very long time. Nothing but love here with this criticism. Don’t worry about cuts and drivers off the deck. You don’t have the shots in the bag, John. Advance the ball comfortably and you break 90 easy.
John, I was just headed out the door to hit some balls when, lo and behold, a video!!! A nice treat. Love your commentary. I went through all your shots and noticed that your right elbow keeps sticking out as you start taking your club back and as you bring it down on most of your shots. I used to do that alot and was inconsistent and short. One thing you should try to do is to consciously bury your right elbow to the side of your body on the take-away and follow through. This will force you to use your hip rotation to generate speed rather than your upper body. it will be impossible to keep it buried, but if you consciously make an effort, it will help your swing out a ton. I went from driving the ball about 220, to 240+ and that was all I changed. Keep those videos coming!!
14 Definitely a birdie. 17 The monster hit out of the trees... that's what keeps us playing. Like an addiction to the good hits. I love watching you play because I play the exact same way 90 to 95. I finally Broke out and hit 82 three weeks ago. Keep it up!!
Good job John, keep it up, it's coming soon, just remember that the only shot that counts is the one in front of you. Never worry about the next one...there's always plenty of time for that later. Stay committed to whatever type of shot you chose and learn to hit a putt with your PW-7 iron and those little shots around the green will be a lot easier for you. They'll come off the club in the air for a little bit and then roll out like a putt. You can practice those in your yard.
Hey John, hope you’re doing okay. Haven’t seen you pop up in my notifications so I assume you’ve been busy. Anyway, thanks for all the great content and stuff . :)
Please make more vids after covid. I just found your channel and binged all your vids in like 2 weeks and this is my new favorite channel as im a golfer too
Hey John, checking on you to make sure you're good. Definitely waiting patiently for your next video, I haven't swung a stick in 4 years but since I've been watching your progress, it has inspired me to play again.
I played Old MacDonald today in Bandon Dunes and was playing very well for me. I was on course to break 90 as well. However, I fell apart on the 15th hole and stopped keeping score after 16. Oh well one of these days. So I feel your pain lol.
Well I’m now depressed. I’ve been waiting for months for new videos. Yet I read down the comments and see that people said you quit? I truly hope not I love watching your videos they have helped me immensely.
Greetings from Sweden John. Love Your videos. Keep on fighting. I´m convinced You will break 90. You have some really good shots, but need more consistancy in Your play.
Try chipping with a lower loft club like a PW or 9 iron around the greens so you get a good bump and run. 54 degrees and up makes chipping hard for us amateurs.
You sorta summed it up yourself, John. Too many inconsistencies and poor ball striking. Those first putts need to get nearer to the hole as well. Keep at it, you'll get there someday.
Very interesting video bro I’m right in the same predicament with you I’ve shot an 89 one so I cannot repeat it I shoot consistently between 90 and 94 keep it up will get there buddy stay safe
Do you ever try pitching and chipping with clubs other than a wedge? Just curious, maybe try some less lofted clubs and let them run out. Great channel and love the content.
Or you could take a 64 degree and hit a nice lil flop right to the hole, or just learn how to actually use any wedge and hit stop your swing and actually swing through it so you dont chunk it..... my 60 and 64 degree are my best freinds, anytime I get into a bunker or have a chip shot I know I'm fine bc I'll be inside 7 feet 90%of the time
John I got a suggestion for you that may help you out next time. On Hole 18 you had 280 yards left to the green. There is no way you are making the green with a 3-wood. And the 3-wood isn't the easiest club to hit. Next time hit a club that will get you to a distance you are confident in. So if instead of the 3-wood hit say your 6 or 7 iron 150 yards and you have 130 left to go. Give it a shot...I do this all the time if I have no chance of hitting the green with my 3-wood, better to hit my 5-wood, 7-wood, or 6 iron which I have more confidence in.
Dude, that's for sissies. John, didn't come all the way out to freaking lay up!! That's boring golf. I don't know how many Wolf games I've lost when I've hit a great drive and have 220 to green with a 3-wood over water. I've done it at least twice in the 20 or so times I"ve tried it. It's those 200 yard shots with a 3 wood over water that I remember, the others 18...bluuuhhhh.
Do you have a 7-wood in your bag? It would make a fine addition. I have a Jack Nicklaus Bearclaw from the 80's that I just love. I see it now on Ebay for ten dollars...highly recommended. You can't find these in stores anymore, everything is hybrids.
John you have improved a ton but I notice you are still hitting your chip shots short. Try a less lofted club off the green and hit it the same and you should be a lot closer to the hole!
I just finished watching ALL your videos in one week. I'm a 20 something handicap. Going to start filming my golf journey now. Any tips, tricks, do's, don'ts?
Nicklaus said for guys trying to do what you are that you said play par 4s as 5s 5s as 6s 3s as 4s. You’ll eliminate the bigger numbers doing this. Obviously going to be holes where you don’t have to do this but on the tough holes it’ll minimize damage
The game is looking very good, it will not be long before you are shooting 80's on a regular bases. Question are you using a personal camera person while you are playing? I'm starting to film my rounds but I find it hard to do without a dedicated camera person.
Shame. Really enjoyed this channel. Wish John would check in with an update.
He just did
Miss your videos man. Hope you’re doing alright

Right
Great video John. Very fun to watch. Your putting is excellent.
Just came back from hitting balls in our school field with my boy. And who do I find with a new golf vid, John Baker! Right on, its Fridayyy.
Hey John, hope you’re doing okay. Haven’t seen you pop up in my notifications so I assume you’ve been busy. Anyway, thanks for all the great content and stuff . :)
Early in the season, you will break 90 multiple times this year- this is going to be a good year for you looking forward to more videos.
Good to see someone play. Here on east texas out course is open. We are loving it
Please make more vids after covid. I just found your channel and binged all your vids in like 2 weeks and this is my new favorite channel as im a golfer too
Yeah.. give the people what they want.. weekly vids haha
You made a good run at it, John! Those greens look enormous. And quick.
Hey John, checking on you to make sure you're good. Definitely waiting patiently for your next video, I haven't swung a stick in 4 years but since I've been watching your progress, it has inspired me to play again.
Great job man! I’m in the same boat...breaking 90 is my goal this year...just have to make more puts!
Always makes my day better when I see you have a new course vlog
8:24 they should call you the lumber jack cause you are the BOSS from shots in the woods and around trees
I've been watching you for over a year now must getting better every time I watch
Keep it up I'm working hard on the same goal. Can't wait to see my boy John Baker break 90.
Hey man I like watching you play! Thanks for posting!
Definitely improving. Just gotta avoid the duffed shots. Easier said than done I know. Alot of positives to take away tho... 👍
Great video John, can’t wait to get back out golfing !
Just found your channel. I find your video refreshing. Nice to see someone normal playing the game. You will get better.
Haha thanks Steve
Best I’ve seen you play. Keep it up.
Anyone know where he’s gone?? Hope he’s ok
I played Old MacDonald today in Bandon Dunes and was playing very well for me. I was on course to break 90 as well. However, I fell apart on the 15th hole and stopped keeping score after 16. Oh well one of these days. So I feel your pain lol.
I'll be honest John, the putt out is my best friend and top purchase this offseason. Not sure if you have one but I highly recomended it
Hitting a great drive and then tanking your second shot hit too close to home for me lol. Love the videos man keep them coming!
Love the commentary and the free hair haha 👌👌
Love watching you get a good laugh
Well I’m now depressed. I’ve been waiting for months for new videos. Yet I read down the comments and see that people said you quit? I truly hope not I love watching your videos they have helped me immensely.
He good he made an update
John with some course management you’ll smash 90 this year. You just have to start playing percentage shots especially from 100 yards in
Love your videos man. Keep it up
Greetings from Sweden John. Love Your videos. Keep on fighting. I´m convinced You will break 90. You have some really good shots, but need more consistancy in Your play.
You stay rocking my brother!
Just come across this channel, pretty good content. Well done and best of luck with growth.
Where have you been sir?
I audibly laughed when that putt kicked out. I would have counted that one as well lol
Try chipping with a lower loft club like a PW or 9 iron around the greens so you get a good bump and run. 54 degrees and up makes chipping hard for us amateurs.
I’d love to play a round with u man. Ur keep it real. And u crack me up
You sorta summed it up yourself, John. Too many inconsistencies and poor ball striking. Those first putts need to get nearer to the hole as well. Keep at it, you'll get there someday.
Very interesting video bro I’m right in the same predicament with you I’ve shot an 89 one so I cannot repeat it I shoot consistently between 90 and 94 keep it up will get there buddy stay safe
Ok Big Guy, the doughnuts are there so we remember to not grab the flags..5:45..but I'm giving ya that one cuz it was a bird!! Nice ;)
Yeah my brain stoppped working for a min
@@FatGuyGolf John where u at???..why no more vids??..we're all wondering if or ok..give us an update video at least,we all miss ya bud!
Let’s go FGG. Love your vids! Keep them coming
Do you ever try pitching and chipping with clubs other than a wedge? Just curious, maybe try some less lofted clubs and let them run out. Great channel and love the content.
try your 9 iron when 10 yards off the green. let it role and watch the left to right
Or you could take a 64 degree and hit a nice lil flop right to the hole, or just learn how to actually use any wedge and hit stop your swing and actually swing through it so you dont chunk it..... my 60 and 64 degree are my best freinds, anytime I get into a bunker or have a chip shot I know I'm fine bc I'll be inside 7 feet 90%of the time
Lets get some more vids out!! Keep em straight!!
92 is a decent result big yin. As I've said previously, play simple shots in place of overly complicated ones and you'll drop 5 shots from that total
First time I've witness a birdie from you...oh yea
HH that 3wd at 3:07!
Go golf in Virginia courses are open still there!
John I got a suggestion for you that may help you out next time. On Hole 18 you had 280 yards left to the green. There is no way you are making the green with a 3-wood. And the 3-wood isn't the easiest club to hit. Next time hit a club that will get you to a distance you are confident in.

Give it a shot...I do this all the time if I have no chance of hitting the green with my 3-wood, better to hit my 5-wood, 7-wood, or 6 iron which I have more confidence in.
Generally the 3w is the club I have the most confidence in
3w wedge trumps 6i pw in my mind
Dude, that's for sissies. John, didn't come all the way out to freaking lay up!! That's boring golf.
I don't know how many Wolf games I've lost when I've hit a great drive and have 220 to green with a 3-wood over water. I've done it at least twice in the 20 or so times I"ve tried it. It's those 200 yard shots with a 3 wood over water that I remember, the others 18...bluuuhhhh.

John I would love to have you out to valley of the eagles. I'm a huge fan and you need to play this course
Quality! Keep up the good work
Dude, I haven’t watched a video in few years. You are looking good my man. Bearded now!
Wait till you see me next 😁
You are getting better.
Who dislikes this guys videos?? Keep em coming big guy!
John you have improved a ton but I notice you are still hitting your chip shots short. Try a less lofted club off the green and hit it the same and you should be a lot closer to the hole!
You’ll get there
I just finished watching ALL your videos in one week. I'm a 20 something handicap. Going to start filming my golf journey now. Any tips, tricks, do's, don'ts?
Film cause you want to watch your game and see your mistakes
Use the film to get better

Looking good boss keep it up
Missing the Baker Brawn videos tbh. They really motivated me

Nicklaus said for guys trying to do what you are that you said play par 4s as 5s 5s as 6s 3s as 4s. You’ll eliminate the bigger numbers doing this. Obviously going to be holes where you don’t have to do this but on the tough holes it’ll minimize damage
Thanks john
ah so close. what shot tracer do you use?
Gteat, which tee you played?
When you almost fell over on 18....I braced for impact...glad you left that in.
When did I almost fall over???
At 9:44...right after you said you were so mad...very good timing. By the way, I enjoy your channel so don’t take it wrong please
What pro tracer app do you use?
Bought on 1? With a 6v?
You ever get back to WV message me. It would be awesome to go a round of golf with ya. You ever play Bel Meadows in Clarksburg?
LOL. at 2:04 You said 'I left a lot of meat on this potato'!.
We use 'a lot of meat on that bone'...I'm assuming that's what you meant?
Yeah lol
I like "meat on the tatoe" better
please do more content. we miss it¨
Where did ya go buddy, 2 months since last video?
I don’t know HOW that birdie putt didn’t fall. You couldn’t have hit it better. I think it was the COVID cups.
I thought you were gonna post my last tee shot😭😥😢
I messed up and deleted the old videos after I trimmed down my shots
Sorry Ben
Fat Guy Golf all good homie keep them vids comin
Why are all the flag sticks so short? Glad that your courses are still open. Jersey all still closed. Go vid as usual.
Why are you not putting up anymore videos
The game is looking very good, it will not be long before you are shooting 80's on a regular bases. Question are you using a personal camera person while you are playing? I'm starting to film my rounds but I find it hard to do without a dedicated camera person.
I use a tripod
