"I used to be better."

It's a sentence we've heard thousands of times from golfers in their 60s, 70s and 80s.

The truth is, there is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to play better.

But there is also nothing wrong with being a normal golfer.

A few weeks ago, Julian wrote a simple Facebook post about how many golfers feel left behind by the modern game.

Over 100,000 golfers read it.

The response was overwhelming. Golfers sharing stories about lost distance, changing bodies, frustration, acceptance, friendship, and rediscovering why they fell in love with golf in the first place.

So we decided to create something specifically for those golfers.

Not a programme promising miracles.

Not another collection of complicated swing positions.

Just a simpler, more enjoyable way to experience golf.

If you've ever felt that golf has become harder than it needs to be, or that nobody seems to be speaking to golfers like you anymore, this page is for you.

Take a look and see what all the fuss is about:

Because golf should be enjoyed, not endured.

One of the biggest misconceptions in golf is that losing distance is simply part of getting older. But having spent the past few weeks testing golfers with XXIO golf clubs for seniors, we’ve found that’s not always true, and the results have surprised even us.

"That's the first time in years it's felt effortless." One of four golfers who came through our doors in April. Different swings, different problems — but the same result every time. Here is what happened.

Has your golf season started the way you hoped?

Or are you still struggling with your driver?

Most golfers don't need more swing thoughts. They need less tension, better coordination, and more trust in what they're doing.

That's exactly what our Driver Confidence day is designed to help with.

Built around the Timeless Golf Swing®, you'll learn how to swing more freely, strike the ball more solidly, and gain confidence from the tee.

We have a couple of places available next Monday.

One thing I see a lot in golf is golfers spending hour after hour hitting balls off perfect mats… then wondering why it doesn’t quite transfer onto the golf course.

Here’s the honest truth.

If you spend far more time practising off mats than you do off grass, don’t be surprised if striking the ball consistently on the course becomes difficult.

A mat can hide a lot.

You can get away with contact that grass would immediately expose. You lose that awareness of ball then turf. You lose the feeling of how the club really interacts with the ground. And over time, many golfers slowly disconnect from the realities of playing golf.

Because golf isn’t played on a perfectly flat driving range mat.

It’s played from uneven lies. Wet lies. Tight lies. Bare patches. Into the wind. Downwind. From rough. From sand. Under pressure. With consequences.

You’re not just training your golf swing when you practise on the course or on grass. You’re training your awareness, your touch, your reactions, your distance control, your adaptability and your confidence.

You’re learning to become a golfer… not just someone who hits balls.

And this is why some golfers can stripe it on the range yet struggle when they get onto the first tee.

The golf course asks different questions.

So next time you practise, ask yourself:Am I just hitting balls…or am I actually preparing to play golf?

There’s a big difference.

Lesley hadn't picked up a club in a month.

She came into our studio here in Royal Leamington Spa, picked up her new XXIO 14 Driver, and that same afternoon went out and won her game — shooting under her handicap.

No swing overhaul. No hours on the range. Just equipment properly fitted to how she actually swings.

That's exactly why we've launched our More Distance. Less Effort. XXIO Coaching and Trial Experience.

In one hour with Julian, we will:

Compare your current clubs against the latest XXIO equipment
Use launch monitor data and swing analysis to see what's really happening
Give you written recommendations to take away

The session is £89 — fully redeemable against any XXIO purchase.

Particularly well suited to golfers who feel they've lost a bit of distance or that the game is starting to feel harder physically.

WHAT HAPPENED IN APRIL?

85% of golfers in our own survey said they have never taken a lesson.

Not because they do not want to improve. Because traditional lessons have a reputation for not working.

What we do at ProperGolfing is not a lesson. Here is what it actually looks like.

"That's the first time in years it's felt effortless." D.S., aged 68, after gaining 26 yards on his 7-iron without trying to hit it harder.

Four golfers. Four case studies. Real data, real results.

Have you ever needed painkillers after a golf lesson like this golfer?

"Good morning Jo, well what a lovely Friday I had last week — it was not what I was expecting. I warned my wife that I'd probably be laid up all weekend. On my previous one hour sessions with the pro at our local golf club I'm normally having to take painkillers the next day. It was a complete relaxing experience. I have taken to the course what he has taught me and I look forward to another day session or a tour with yourselves in the near future."

WHY YOU LOSE YOUR GOLF SWING OVERNIGHT

A lot of golfers ask the same thing: “Why do I lose my golf swing overnight?” The answer might surprise you. And once you understand it, everything changes.

We asked a simple question on our social channels the other day. We weren't expecting much.

What’s been the most frustrating part of your golf lately?

The response was overwhelming. Message after message. All saying similar things.
