The first five years of the Open Stance Academy are behind us. Hundreds of thousands of views, clicks and comments later, we\u2019ve come to this. I\u2019ve turned all my posts and their 65,000 words into a eBook, now available on Amazon. Soon, I\u2019ll also convert them into a paperback. That way, you may have them all without staring at a blue-lit computer screen. <\/p>\n

We must begin again. I\u2019ll do the heavy lifting, and you give me good feedback. We\u2019ll work together to bring help to the rest of the golfing world. You will be an Open Stance Ambassador.<\/p>\n

It is difficult to craft a truly helpful site without getting into the details that make my intellectual property special. It is always available to me in practice. However, in our world, I cannot give away all that time and effort. Hence, I focused my attention on our most important message – the individual power of specific intention. <\/p>\n

Our most special gift is our mind, which can bend to unimaginable extremes without breaking. In the process of learning, that flexibility is invaluable, because it allows us to follow a thread without ever feeling lost. In the words of Inigo Montoya, we can \u201cGo back to the beginning\u201d because we know our intention. <\/p>\n

The Open Stance is the thread. Our intention is reflected in the path we walk. A straighter path will make the most of the string. But, don\u2019t worry. We can retrace our steps on the path, but should never stop using the thread.<\/p>\n

Open your stance, and play golf.<\/p>\n

John Wright – Founder
