Philosophy is \u201cthe study of the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality, and existence, especially when considered as an academic discipline\u201d. The Open Stance is a set-up philosophy. Every able-bodied golfer should use the Open Stance to create efficient movement, positions, and angles.<\/p>\n

There is no physiological make-up that does not benefit with this philosophy. One underlying principle of this philosophy is that the golfers are symmetrical.
\nAnother is that you must also create a very specific intention<\/em> for your golf ball. For example, making perfect impact and hitting the flag with a high fade is a specific intent. Keeping it between the trees is not a specific intent.<\/p>\n

The Open Stance, over time, allows every golfer to reach their ball-striking potential. At the same time, each golfer uses unique movement to express their solution. Moreover, an Open Stance golf swing aligns efficiency of movement with less stress on our body. You benefit with more longevity in this wonderful game.<\/p>\n

Golfers like myself know a good idea when they hear it. We just make the change and let our golf swing evolve. Others need to see the idea in action. They require proof and rationale before they\u2019ll invest in themselves.<\/p>\n

This site provides the building blocks of the Open Stance philosophy. You are encouraged to create a better relationship between your feet, ball, and target. You\u2019ll read about my research and judge for yourself. One way or the other, the golfing world will, eventually, come to the same conclusion I have.<\/p>\n

The famous Philosopher, Socrates, has been quoted as having said, \u201cI cannot teach anybody anything. I can only make them think\u201d. He also said, \u201cStrong minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, weak minds discuss people.\u201d The Open Stance is an idea no one can own, trade, or sell. The fact that I have put my research into book form is just my way to reach golfers around the world.<\/p>\n
