Newer golfer: Big man golf swing help =)

[Pinoy25]

I am returning to golf =).  I got some clubs and I am now ready to go once I get some good days off to go where I do not have to watch the kiddos.  I was in a bad car accident a few years ago.  My range of motion on a  turn is a little limited right now.  I am now on  a golf journey for my mental health and physical health.  I am starting a diet and going back to the gym.  I am 5'11 325 pounds if you were wondering.  I have very broad shoulders.  I apologize  for the bad camera angle.  I was at my father in laws house and decided to hit some golf balls in his field.  The phone was standing up against my jeep.  I have ordered a tripod to get better angles next time.  I understand advice may be hard due to the camera angle. I do see I am mildly coming over the top. I have watched a few videos on it but I am not your average sized golfer. Some golf advice just doesn't work the same.  I thinned the 4th shot really bad =/. You can actually see where it went.

While you're bigger, the issue is generally the same seen from all types: flat to steep.

You're starting your swing and coming so far inside that when you initiate the downswing, you have nowhere to go but over the top. Feel like you're pulling the clubhead away from you and trying to touch a pole or alignment stick 2ft directly behind the ball.

Yep! @BraxtonFullerton nailed it. Since you're new, it's a great time to learn a better pattern. You could also even feel you lift the club up with no shoulder turn (your shoulders will turn, btw), then practice bringing your hands down back down in front of you with your shoulders still turned. I'd do this without a ball, then hit little shots off a tee at the range.
