One of my distant readers and supporters, John Dunn, sent me this video with the words, “Rory Does It Tooooooooooo!” Of course we are always talking about an Open Stance. The following video illustrates the philosophy in the words of World #1, Rory McIlroy.

Thanks, John. This is a great video for another reason, as well. Rory also talks about the adaptive process of improvement and the discomfort that always accompanies change. However, what steadies him while playing in the French Open, during an uncomfortable grip change, is the belief that his ultimate objective – improvement – will come.

Knowing… KNOWING the changes you make will make you better should be enough to sustain us through improvement’s discomfort phase. With enough experience to know we will always adapt perfectly to any stimuli change, we go through the process of fulfilling our intention. We need only doggedly pursue the example of experts like John Wright and Rory McIlroy.

Believe it. You don’t have to worry. With an Open Stance, your ultimate, ball-striking success is guaranteed. My only question is, at what point will you believe history’s immortal golf lesson? And, if not from me, from whom? This is the tip of the iceberg to golf instruction’s Titanic. Wouldn’t it be better to not be on the boat when it goes down?

Open your stance, and play golf.
