Fat Man Golfing

Ok, so I'm fat.  Does that mean I shouldn't be able to enjoy golf.  I have been made fun of by all my buddies for my swing.  I had to adapt my swing a bit due to a sudden weight gain.  I love golf and I am not about to give it up.  In my previous skinny life I was quite a golfer.  I could drive about 300 yards consistently and I was dead on with my irons.  Now that I have gained some weight I have had to make some modifications to my swing that makes me look pretty funny to others.   I don't care....  I currently have a difficult time seeing my balls when I tee off or putt.   It's not just my balls that I am having trouble seeing but that's another story.  To fix my problem I had to take a step back away from my ball, ok, maybe two steps.  This caused me to lean over more with my stance which caused my swing to change drastically.  I also had to get a little longer driver.  What I have found is that I can hit the balls straighter than I ever have.  I don't have the power I once had but I can hit the fairway 70% of the time.  My putting was the other big challenge I faced. I have gotten a longer putter and I stand back a little farther also.  It provides a different angle when putting but  I have learned to adjust.  I guess the moral of the story is that no matter what size your body is or what changes you go through, you can always find a way to see your balls, you may need to make some adjustments but that is just part of the game.  Have a great one.
