hEAR HOW experienced golfer DICK STOCKTON IS PLAYING THE MOST ENJOYABLE GOLF IS LIFE : golf at any age
**“It’s Never Too Late to Love This Game”
Dick Stockton on Golf, Joy, and the Timeless Swing
At Proper Golfing, we’ve always believed that you can transform your golf at any age : it’s never too late to transform your game, and no one embodies that more than Dick Stockton. A legendary American sports broadcaster and one of our dearest members, Dick recently sat down with us to reflect on his golfing journey, his connection to Julian Mellor, and why, at the age of 82, he’s playing the best golf of his life.
Finding Julian, Then Proper Golfing
Dick’s story doesn’t start with a search for a golf swing. It starts with a search for the right coach. “I found Julian before I found Proper Golfing,” he told us. “Wherever Julian would go, I would go.” Coming from a world-class communicator, that’s high praise and a huge testament to Julian’s calm, caring and confidence-building coaching style.
The Best Golf of His Life at 82
“I’m not exaggerating,” Dick says. “My golf is the most relaxed, most effective, and the most confident it’s ever been.” After years of tension, trial and error, and trying conventional instruction, Dick has found something better: simplicity, joy, and ease.
With a newly energised swing and refined fundamentals, he’s even added 10 to 15 yards to his drives without strain. “I never feel tired after a round. I finish strong because the swing doesn’t wear me out. It’s effortless.”
Why Proper Golfing Works
What changed? According to Dick, it’s everything Proper Golfing doesn’t do. There’s no overload, no positions to hold, no complicated mechanics.
“Julian doesn’t instruct in the traditional way. He coaches. He asks how it feels. He takes the pressure off. And because of that, it sticks.”
Dick shared a recent breakthrough. “Julian noticed my knee wasn’t turning with the heel lift. That tiny tweak changed everything—more power, better tempo, and balance at the finish.”
The Timeless Swing Philosophy
Dick is a walking example of the Timeless Swing. His rhythm, flow, and relaxed mindset reflect everything we stand for. “I can pick up my clubs and play confidently any time I want. Not every shot is perfect, but I never go negative. I trust the swing.”
His advice for others in their 60s, 70s, or 80s? “Why wouldn’t you do this? Why keep struggling with bad habits when there’s a proven, joyful way?”
The Power of Online Coaching
Despite his age, Dick embraces technology with ease. “I just record a video on my phone, send it to Julian, and within 24 hours I’ve got a fix. It’s simple.”
He joins our Proper Golfing Masterclasses when he can, watches replays when he can’t, and always finds something new to apply. “It’s a never-ending learning journey, but one that’s consistent, joyful, and feels like freedom.”
Final Word
“I laugh now when I see old-school instruction that just adds tension,” Dick said. “Proper Golfing changed the way I feel about the game. I don’t just play golf now—I enjoy golf.”
