Case Study: Three Golfers, Three Transformations
At Proper Golfing, we’ve seen firsthand how quickly golfers of all levels can transform their swings, confidence, and enjoyment of the game. Below are three inspiring case studies of players who walked in with doubts and walked out with new belief, all thanks to small but powerful changes that made a huge difference. Real people, real results. Actual lessons
1. Peter – Handicap 21, the Slicer
Background:
Peter had been stuck around a 21 handicap for over 15 years. His main frustration was a persistent slice with the driver, losing distance, finding trouble on the right, and never feeling in control off the tee.
Coaching Focus:
• Adjusted grip to as it was slightly weak and helped square the club face up at address.
• Introduced a simple “turn and release” feel to stop cutting across the ball.
• Used the eyes follow the ball drill to free up his through swing.
Simulator Results:
• Before: Carry 175 yds | Total 190 yds | Launch 9° | Club path -5.6° (out-to-in) | Sidespin 1,200 rpm right
• After: Carry 205 yds | Total 225 yds | Launch 13° | Club path +0.5° (square) | Sidespin 280 rpm right
Transformation:
In a single session, Peter gained 35 yards of carry and reduced his slice spin by over 75%. He described it as “the first time in years I’ve felt like I can actually aim straight down the fairway.”

2. Richard – Handicap 14, the Tension Filled Iron Player
Background:
Richard, a mid-handicapper, hit his irons inconsistently, fat, thin, and often short. He admitted to being tense over the ball, worried about making mistakes.
Coaching Focus:
• Introduced breathing and relaxation cues.
• Shifted his ball position slightly back for cleaner strikes.
• Encouraged a free, 6-second finish instead of forcing the hit.
Simulator Results:
• Before (7-iron): Carry 128 yds | Total 134 yds | Ball speed 96 mph | Angle of attack -5.4° | Launch 12°
• After (7-iron): Carry 146 yds | Total 152 yds | Ball speed 106 mph | Angle of attack -3.1° | Launch 17°
Transformation:
Richard immediately added 18 yards of carry with his 7-iron, with a higher launch and more consistent strike. More importantly, his confidence score (self-rated) went from 4/10 to 8/10 after the session.

3. Alan – Handicap 9, the Lost Confidence Competitor
Background:
Alan was once a single figure golfer who had lost form after a shoulder injury and months away from the game. His biggest issue was trying too hard muscling the ball instead of letting the swing flow.
Coaching Focus:
• Rebuilt his swing around rhythm and coordination, not brute force.
• Removed the “keep the head down” myth and introduced eyes follow ball drills.
• Reinforced posture and balance for a complete, free swing.
Simulator Results:
• Before (Driver): Carry 224 yds | Total 242 yds | Clubhead speed 96 mph | Efficiency 1.37 | Dispersion 38 yds wide
• After (Driver): Carry 251 yds | Total 268 yds | Clubhead speed 97 mph | Efficiency 1.49 | Dispersion 14 yds wide
Transformation:
Alan regained 27 yards of carry while swinging more efficiently, not harder. His dispersion tightened by nearly two-thirds, proving that ProperGolfing is about smarter movement, not strain. His comment at the end: “I feel like I’ve got my game and my joy back.”
