Who the hell is Cameron Strachan and what’s he banging on about?

I’ve been saying it for years — most golfers are making the game way harder than it needs to be.

They pile on tips, techniques, and swing thoughts… when the real magic happens by taking stuff away.
Strip it back. Simplify. That’s how you actually improve.

If that sounds foreign to you, then yeah — you probably need this site.

Now, let me be real for a sec.

I’m not some golf prodigy.
My first round? A total disaster.
I shot 156 and took 17 hits on the first hole.
My second round? Even worse — over 160. No talent. No clue. No hope.

But something about the game grabbed me.

So I started hitting balls in a horse paddock behind my house.
No coach. No swing theory. Just pure obsession.

Back and forth, day after day — chasing feel, not form.
And slowly, my scores dropped. I broke 100. Then 90.
Eventually, I shot par.

And it all happened without the “proper” golf instruction.

Go figure.

People started calling me “gifted.” Said I had talent.
But they didn’t see the hours in the paddock. The obsession. The pure grind.

Eventually, word got out and I landed a golf scholarship. That’s when I had my first official golf lessons — and everything changed.
Not in a good way.

The lessons wrecked me.

I developed a slice.
Whiffed the ball.
Confidence collapsed.
Started hating the game.

It made no sense. How the hell do you get worse after lessons?
Aren’t you supposed to improve if you “do what the pro says”?

Apparently not.

At rock bottom, I ditched the swing theories and went back to my roots — hitting balls like I did in the paddock. No thinking. No over-coaching. Just playing.
And it worked. My game bounced back. Handicap dropped. Golf felt magic again.

Then… I stuffed it up.

I found another coach. He told me I’d be on the USPGA Tour in a few years.
Spoiler alert: I wasn’t.

The cycle repeated — overthinking, inconsistency, frustration.
Every time I tried to “fix” my swing with technique, my natural game vanished.

No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t swing like the pro wanted me to.
But I learned something way more valuable:

My way — the natural way — was better.

Every time I stopped overthinking and just played, the magic returned.
Golf got fun again. I played to my potential.

And here’s the punchline:

After years of testing, studying, and working with top scientists, I realised most golf instruction is flat-out wrong.
It goes against how humans actually learn.
That’s why you’re stuck. That’s why you feel broken.

But when you ditch the swing fads and learn golf like any other skill?
Improvement isn’t just possible — it’s all but guaranteed.

Let’s cut to the chase — this might be the most important thing you read here.

Most golfers say they want to get better.
But when it comes down to it?
They’re not willing to break free from the outdated, over-complicated, status quo.

They want to fit in.
Swing like the pros.
Do what their coach tells them — even when it’s clearly not working.

But here’s the truth:

You’ve been conditioned to play golf the hard way.
To follow the rules. To conform.
To believe improvement only comes through more reps, more tips, more swing thoughts.

That’s bullshit.

If you’ve tried everything — lessons, videos, training aids — and you’re still stuck,
then maybe it’s time to stop doing the same old shit and expecting different results.

And no — I’m not talking about some weird, radical method.
I’m talking about a simpler way.
Like learning to ride a bike or drive a car — intuitive, natural, repeatable.

You’re here because you want to play better golf.
You want a game you can trust — one that shows up when it matters.

I get it. I’ve been there.

I’ve felt the frustration of doing everything “right” and still getting worse.
I’ve lost my game. I’ve felt the shame. I’ve wanted to quit.

That’s why I walked away from traditional instruction and built something that actually works —

a real alternative for frustrated golfers.
