A Conversation with Michael: Transforming Golf with Proper Golfing

Introduction

In a heartfelt conversation, Michael and his wife Norma share their inspiring journey through the Proper Golfing methodology. Michael’s story is a testament to the transformative power of embracing a new approach to golf, tailored for senior players. From frustration to joy, Michael’s experience shows how Proper Golfing can reignite passion for the game.

Discovering Proper Golfing

Michael recalls, “About six months ago, I stumbled upon one of Julian’s videos on YouTube. His approach stood out—it wasn’t about perfection but about enjoying golf. That really resonated with me.” After trying various methods and battling inconsistency, Michael decided to join Proper Golfing’s program.

The Transformation Begins

Michael began implementing the techniques, starting with the Simple Setup. This laid the foundation for his swing, improving alignment and positioning. “The major revelation,” Michael explains, “was understanding how to turn my body inside the barrel and let my arms follow naturally. It was a game-changer.”

Key Improvements

1. Iron Play:
• Greens in Regulation (GIR) increased from 25% to 55%.
• “My iron shots are now consistent, smooth, and accurate.”
2. Driving:
• Average driver distance: 190-200 yards, with far more consistency.
• “I’m hitting more fairways than ever.”
3. Putting:
• Adopting Proper Golfing’s setup techniques has improved stroke quality and confidence.
• “Lifting the tail of my putter slightly and focusing on smooth motion has made a huge difference.”

Physical and Emotional Benefits

Michael highlights how the methodology is body-friendly, avoiding strain on his knees and back, which were aggravated by other techniques. “This swing is smooth and effortless, and I finish each round without pain. Plus, my frustration has vanished—I’m genuinely enjoying golf again.”

A New Passion for Golf

Michael’s enthusiasm shines through:

• Increased Joy: “I now smile as I play. Golf is fun again.”
• Inspiring Others: “My friends often ask what changed. I share the Proper Golfing method and do a little dance to demonstrate!”

Family and Golf

A touching aspect of Michael’s journey is reconnecting with his son through golf. For his son’s 50th birthday, Michael is organizing a special trip to play 108 holes together. “I can’t wait to show him the new golfer I’ve become,” Michael says proudly.

Future Goals

Michael continues to work on his game, focusing on improving his finish and putting consistency. His ultimate goal? “To break 80 regularly—and to enjoy every moment on the course.”

Michael’s Advice for Others

“Whether you’re frustrated or think you’ve reached your peak, Proper Golfing proves there’s always room for improvement. It’s never too late to rediscover your love for golf.”
