20.4 handicap to breaking 80 in less than a year, using this exact system

Can I be honest with you?

I'm not a PGA Tour pro. I never will be. I hardly played golf as a kid and then for 20 years I only played a handful of times per year.

It wasn't until I was 35 that I even started tracking my scores for the first time and got a handicap. And then I was stuck in the low 20s for years.

Today I'm down to a single digit handicap. But I failed at typical golf instruction, before figuring out what works.

So I know exactly what you're going through right now.

You find a YouTube video that should work for you. You practice it and try it out on the range. You get the training aids and maybe even took a lesson or two.

And for a while, it seems to help.

But then you get out on the course a couple of rounds later, the whole group watching, and everything falls apart.

Todd standing beside his golf bag in a practice bay
  • You have the swing thought you practiced, but can't seem to make it work today.
  • You hit great shots on the range but can't find them on the course.
  • You finish another round wondering what you're supposed to practice next.
  • The video you watch this week seems to contradict the one from last week.

I've been there. Staring at my ball flying off into the trees from a massive slice. Not knowing what to do or how to fix it. It's not fun.

But here's the thing I wish someone had told me years ago:

YouTube videos are made to keep you watching. Most golf instruction starts by changing how your swing looks. Neither of them teaches you how to actually improve and take it to the course.

There's a reason you're still stuck. And it has nothing to do with talent, age, or how many hours you've practiced. It has everything to do with how you've been learning.

Let me show you what I discovered instead.

What Golf Improvement Actually Looks Like

You improve your game through four repeatable stages:

  1. Diagnose Your Game

    First, you identify where you are actually losing strokes.

    Not where you think you are losing them. Not what you remember from one terrible hole. And not what your playing partners tell you to fix.

    You use real shot and scoring data to identify the part of your game costing you the most strokes. Instead of spreading your limited practice time across everything, you find your biggest leak and start there.

    Result: You know exactly what to work on first and why it matters.

  2. Improve Impact

    Once you know your biggest weakness, you identify the sub-aspect that is costing you, and you improve it.

    You don't need to rebuild your swing or force your body into a list of perfect positions.

    Instead, you use the differential learning method developed by German sports scientist Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Schöllhorn (along with testing and feedback) to improve the outcome that matters. Because the ball doesn't care what your swing looks like, only what happens at impact.

    Result: You improve the part of your game costing you strokes with a unique, natural learning process.

  3. Apply Deliberate Practice (With an App)

    Knowing what to fix is not enough. You need a way to practice it that creates measurable improvement.

    Instead of raking ball after ball at the range without a clear purpose, I'll show you how to setup a personalized plan where each session gives you a specific problem to solve, a structured task, a challenge to score, a result to record, and a way to track progress.

    I built a simple web app specifically for this (works on every device). You tell the app a few things like how much time you have and what you are working on, and it will generate a structured practice session for you automatically.

    Result: Your practice becomes fun, challenging, measurable, and easier to stick with.

  4. Lower Your Handicap with On-Course Performance

    The final stage is turning practice improvement into lower scores on the course.

    You will learn how to transfer practice performance to course performance. Uncover a smart course strategy for lower scoring. And a proper pre-round warm up. You'll get, on-course tools like ball flight diagnosis and fixes, and a method of performance testing to get the best scores from your current skill level.

    After each round, you return to your data, identify the weakness, and repeat the process.

    Result: Your practice begins showing up on the scorecard, and you have a system you can keep using for years.

Results

I built this for myself

In 2024 I joined a semi-competitive golf group. I was still a low-20s handicap and too scared to hit my driver. A couple of months in, I vividly remember being on the first tee in the first group, more than 20 guys standing there watching. I hit the most violent slice of my life. The wind took it and it narrowly missed a parked car. I was so embarrassed and couldn't wait to get off that tee box.

After the round I went home and tried fixing it. And for the next 2 rounds I thought I had. Long, straight drives.

But then it fell apart completely. Again. And I had no idea why.

Training aids, alignment sticks, practice balls, a strike mat and an impact board spread across the turf

So I did what stuck golfers do. I went back to YouTube. I tried all sorts of training aids. A knock-off divot board that broke. A HackMotion wrist trainer that changed nothing. A 3D swing session with a pro who told me my problem was early extension. An online course that wanted me to rebuild my whole swing from scratch. Eighteen months, a heap of time and money, a brief dip down to 18.3. But then my handicap climbed right back up into the low 20s.

Then a couple of things happened around the same time. First, I discovered it was never my "swing" that was the problem. It was what happened at impact. And 2nd, there was a much better way to go about trying to improve it.

I started tracking real data instead of guessing, and adapted Prof. Dr. Schöllhorn's differential learning practice method to golf. It's the reason I actually improved, and also was able to take my skills to the course instead of just at the range.

As I developed this new way of practicing I documented what I was doing and how my practice sessions were going. Initially it was only for myself. To give me a framework I could use to keep me focused on the process instead of going down YouTube rabbit holes. But now I'm handing you the map.

78

On February 7, 2026, I shot 78. At 40 years old it was my first time breaking 80. 11 months and 11 days earlier, my handicap had been 20.4. Today it's single figures, and heading towards scratch.

If your own progress looks messy right now, mine did too, for two years straight!

But I'm here to tell you there is hope. There is another way.

What Makes The DIAL Method Different?

Here's what separates this method from what you might have seen elsewhere.

What the DIAL Method does

  • Starts with your scoring data, not your swing
  • Fixes one thing at a time, in the right order
  • Measures (and improves) the conditions that actually impact the ball
  • Scores every practice session so you can see improvement off the course
  • Transfers what you build at the range onto the card

What other golfers are doing

  • Taking lessons based mainly on how their swing looks
  • Jumping from YouTube tip to YouTube tip
  • Measuring swing variables that may not relate to their real problem
  • Hitting ball after ball without testing improvement
  • Performing well on the range but losing it on the course

The DIAL Method is a complete system you personalize to your own game, where every part depends on the step before it.

  • You cannot improve the right thing until you diagnose the right problem.
  • You cannot practice properly until you know what you are trying to improve.
  • And improved skill means very little until it transfers to the course and lowers your score.

Diagnose. Improve. Apply. Lower.

That is what makes DIAL different.

It does not ask you to work harder at everything. It helps you work on the right thing, in the right order, with proof that you are moving forward.

Why Not Just Get Lessons or Free Training from YouTube or AI?

You have options. Here is how the DIAL Method compares with the usual way golfers try, and keep failing, to get better.

Imagine this

You get to the range with 30 minutes and you already know exactly what you're working on, with a personalized plan ready to go.

You stand on the first tee and pick a target that fits the shot you actually hit, not the one you wish you hit.

You hit a bad one, and instead of the round unraveling, you know what you did and how to fix it with the next shot.

You finish your round and the number on the card is one you'd have signed for before you started.

And when someone asks what you changed, you don't say you found a tip. You say you found a system.

That is the other side of this. Not perfect, not overnight, but real. And far closer than years of swing tips ever got you.

One-time payment. 90-day Guarantee

This is the lowest price I will offer the DIAL Method. You are receiving the Founding-Member price because this is the first public release.

In return, I'm looking for golfers who will use the system, complete the practice sessions, provide honest feedback, and share their results.

Right now, every Founding Member gets direct access to me, not a generic support inbox. I'll be personally answering questions and updating the course and app to improve it based on your feedback. I can only do that for a limited group before it stops being practical. That's why I'm limiting the Founding Group numbers (and price) to 18 people.

Once those spots are gone, the price goes up (because the course and app will be more valuable) and the direct access goes away.

For $97 you could get:

  • One in-person lesson
  • A couple of rounds of golf where you are not performing your best
  • A very small deposit for a new driver ($600+)
  • Another training aid that won't help you

Or you could get an entire system:

  • Less wasted practice time
  • No more wasted training aid purchases
  • More confidence
  • Better enjoyment
  • A repeatable system for life

Most golfers spend more chasing improvement than the entire DIAL Method costs.

90-day money-back guarantee badge

The 90-Day DIAL Guarantee

I'm confident the DIAL Method will work for you. But I also know that confidence comes from experience, not promises.

So here's my guarantee: Try the course. Work through the lessons. Use the app for some practice sessions. If at any point in the next 90 days you decide it's not for you, email me and I'll refund every penny. No questions. No awkwardness. No hassle.

You have a full 90 days to decide. That's how confident I am that you'll get results from this method.

Questions you might have

Who is the DIAL Method for?
DIAL is designed for self-motivated amateur golfers who feel stuck despite trying to improve. It is particularly suited to weekend golfers and mid-handicappers who want to use their limited practice time more effectively.
Who is it not for?

DIAL may not be right for you if:

  • You want a complete swing rebuild
  • You are near scratch and seeking tiny technical gains
  • You need constant hands-on coaching
  • You are a complete beginner who has not started playing regularly
  • You want a quick fix before next week’s golf trip
You are not a certified golf coach. Why should I trust this instead of a PGA professional?
DIAL is not presented as a replacement for a good golf professional. The right skilled coach can be extremely valuable. DIAL is a system that will show you exactly how to improve your golf game for life. You will become self-sufficient in your own improvement. If you have an issue that requires hands-on movement assessment, medical advice, or specialist coaching, you should seek the appropriate professional.
How is this different from lessons, apps, asking AI or YouTube?
Many of those approaches begin with swing mechanics. DIAL begins with scoring data and the specific shots costing you strokes. Then it teaches you how to practice and improve without requiring swing training or swing fixes. It uses the same natural learning method you use when you learned how to walk. And then it will help you transfer it to the course so you actually hit lower scores and drop your handicap.
How quickly will I improve?
Your results will depend on what is holding you back right now. It's possible applying the smart strategy in Module 4 on your very next round could lead to your best round of the year. Meaningful handicap improvement usually takes longer. Your results will depend on your starting point, practice frequency, playing frequency, physical ability, and consistency. DIAL is not a quick fix. It is a process for continuing to improve over time to become the golfer you were always capable of being.
I do not have much practice time. Can I still use it?
Yes absolutely. I have a family, a full time job, limited practice time and can normally only play 2-3 times per month. A focused 20- or 30-minute practice session can be more useful than an hour of hitting balls without a clear goal. The purpose of the system is not to make you practice constantly. It is to help you stop wasting the time you already have.
Is DIAL a subscription?
No. It is a one-time payment. You receive lifetime access to the online course and 365 days of access to the DIAL Practice App, counting from your purchase date. I don't know if I will charge for app access in the future, but if I do, you will NOT be automatically charged. You will need to actively agree to a future paid option. And you will have a full 365 days to try it out before then, so you'll know if it's worth it for you.

Still have questions? Email me at [email protected]. I'll usually reply within 24 hours.
