ABOUT TROY
About Troy Ismir
Presence Golf Coach
Inner Power Coach for Men
I'm Troy Ismir, founder of Presence Golf and Men of Presence.
My mission is to guide truth-seeking men and passionate golfers to reclaim their inner power so they can live and play with radical freedom, purpose, and Presence.
For much of my life, I searched for fulfillment in achievement, performance, and external success. What I eventually discovered was that the peace, freedom, and purpose I was seeking could never be found outside myself.
That realization changed everything.
Today, I help golfers and men use life's challenges—and the game of golf—as a path to self-mastery, spiritual awakening, and authentic living.
Drawing from more than 30 years of experience in coaching, wellness, Qi Gong, and personal transformation, I help people move beyond fear, overthinking, and self-imposed limitations so they can reconnect with their true nature.
My work isn't about becoming someone new.
It's about remembering who you already are.
Whether we're exploring Presence Golf or walking the path of Men of Presence, the invitation is the same:
Awaken your inner power.
Live with daring courage.
Walk the path of soul evolution.
MY STORY
From Striving to Presence
For much of my life, I believed my worth was tied to achievement.
Sports. Fitness. Success. Performance.
I was always striving for the next accomplishment, believing that if I could achieve enough, earn enough, or become enough, I would finally find peace.
From the outside, my life looked successful.
Inside, I felt disconnected from myself.
A serious knee injury ended my dream of playing professional football and forced me to confront a painful question:
Who am I if I can no longer do the thing that defines me?
Later, my marriage ended. My career felt increasingly unfulfilling. The identities I had built my life around began to fall away.
What felt like loss became an invitation.
For the first time, I stopped searching for answers outside myself and began looking within.
That journey led me into meditation, Qi Gong, Taoism, Christian mysticism, non-duality, and the deeper study of consciousness. More importantly, it led me back to something I had overlooked for years:
Presence.
I discovered that the peace, purpose, and freedom I had been chasing were never outside me.
They were within me all along.
Today, that realization forms the foundation of my work.
Through Presence Golf and Men of Presence, I help truth-seeking men and passionate golfers awaken their inner power, move beyond fear and performance-based identity, and reconnect with who they truly are.
I don't believe we're here merely to achieve more.
I believe we're here to awaken.
To live with courage.
To embody our deepest truth.
To become fully alive.
If my journey helps even one person discover the freedom that comes from living in alignment with their true Self, then every challenge along the way has been worth it.
Keep showing up.
The path is already within you.
