The Open Stance, shaping your shot, and lower scores is the progression. Intention, philosophy, and feedback is the vehicle. And athleticism, instinct, and repetition are the passengers. Will is the driver.

Golfers seem quick to forget that it took time to lose their swings. Over the course of months or years, our swing is like a Macy’s Balloon – ready to exploit the least attentive tetherer. One session of distraction leads to more of the same. Then it’s chaos.

Deliberation at address separates elite golfers from the rest. This is an absolute truth. Professionals have a religious ceremony at address that carries them into their swing. You’ve heard about how important having “a routine” is. It’s not for nothing.

We get hung up on motion as if movement is all a golf swing is. That is bass-ackward thinking. Our set-up CAUSES movement as specific as our attention to our set-up. Therefore, we need PATTERNS to interpret in order to refine our result. Moreover, there is NO WAY to develop a constructive practice regimen WITHOUT isolating and understanding how to interpret shot patterns.

However, if we expend our mental resources adhering to an INTENTIONAL set-up philosophy we will, at a minimum, be able to define our patterns. Then, we’ll find out, unless we like them, how to remediate any adverse results. Our result is lower scores and an ability to shape our shots.

The world of golf needs to stop listening to motion-brokers, and get focus on the set-up sages. The days of subjectivity, creating clients, distracting from knowledge, and smoke-and-mirrors are over. Only those contributing to real knowledge will pass now. It’s not my fault that I am the only one now. But, take heart. There will be more.

Open your stance, and play golf.
