Reclaiming inner power and purpose for men

About Troy Ismir — Presence Golf Mentor & Spiritual Caddy

Guiding high-functioning men and elite golfers into Presence, Self-mastery, and their true nature.

I’m Troy Ismir, and I guide high-functioning men and elite golfers into Self-mastery through the path of Presence.

​

With three decades in transformational coaching and embodied spiritual practice, my work integrates:

​

  • conscious awareness

  • spiritual awakening

  • mind–body–energy alignment

  • the inner stillness of Qi Gong

  • psychological clarity

  • awakened masculine Presence

​

I don’t help men manage stress, pressure, or anxiety. I help them awaken beyond it.

​

Whether mentoring one elite golfer as a Spiritual Caddy or guiding high-functioning men seeking depth and authenticity,
my work is a path of returning to the True Self within —the source of freedom, clarity, and inner Power.

MY STORY

​From Striving to Presence — A Return to My True Self

For most of my life, I believed I had to earn my worth.
Strength, discipline, achievement — these became my identity.

​

On the outside, I looked successful.
But on the inside, I felt disconnected from my true Self.

​

I learned early that vulnerability wasn’t safe,
so I built a life on performance and control.
Sports, bodybuilding, relationships, alcohol, achievement —
I chased everything except the one thing that mattered:

​Presence.

​

When the Identity Cracked, Something Deeper Opened

A knee injury ended my dream of playing professional football.
The identity I built my life around collapsed overnight.

​

Later, my marriage ended.
My career felt hollow.
Every external structure I leaned on fell away.

​

But instead of breaking me, it created space.
Space to question.
Space to listen.
Space to wake up.

​

It was the beginning of a deeper journey.

​

The Turning Inward

In the quiet moments that followed, I realized something profound:

​

Everything I had been seeking —
peace, fulfillment, clarity, identity —
was not out in the world.

​

It was within.

​

This realization changed my life.

​

I turned toward:

​

  • stillness

  • Presence

  • Taoism

  • Christian mysticism

  • non-duality

  • Qi Gong

  • silence

  • the inner body

  • consciousness

​

And slowly, the deeper truth revealed itself:

​The Kingdom of God is within.

​

Presence is the True Self.
What I thought I lacked had been inside me all along.

​

Why I Serve

Today, I mentor high-functioning men and elite golfers who are ready to live and perform from their deepest truth.

Not because they are broken.
Not because they are desperate.


But because they feel the quiet call to something more:

  • more authenticity

  • more Presence

  • more spiritual depth

  • more inner freedom

  • more alignment

  • more truth

​

I walk beside men and golfers who want to awaken —
who want to return to the Self that is free, aware, and fully alive.

​

My work is not about fixing.
It is about awakening.

​

Presence.
Inner Power.
Self-mastery.
This is the path.

​

My Mission

I created Presence Golf and the Inner Power Collective to guide truth-seeking men and elite athletes into their true nature.

Not through performance.
Not through striving.
But through the Consciousness-Only path of:

​

  • awareness

  • stillness

  • Self-realization

  • inner freedom

  • spiritual identity

  • authentic Power

​

Even if I awaken one man or one elite golfer into their true Self,
everything I’ve lived through will have been worth it.

​

A Final Truth

You are not lacking.
You are not separate.
You are not alone.

​

Everything you seek already exists within you —
waiting for your recognition.

​

When you return to Presence,
you return to your true Self.
And from that Self, everything becomes possible.

​

To your inner power,

​
