So, I'm about 50-60 pounds overweight.

(I wish I could say that my excess weight was due entirely to my rheumatoid arthritis medications, but I can't: The food and drink in Chicago truly are something wondrous!)

I was already overweight when I took up golf / started taking lessons this past February. After the first time I got out on an actual course this past September, it seemed to me that my body and weight were really getting in the way of actually playing the game. (Not that that stopped me, of course.)

Anyway, now that our season is over, I'm trying to lose weight, not only because my rheumatologist ordered it (turns out excess weight is bad for your joints. Who woulda thunk it?) but also because I'm hopeful that it will help my golf game.

Has anyone experienced weight loss and / or gain and found that it affected your golf game in some way, either good or bad?

I'm just curious, if people wouldn't mind sharing.
