Thesis Creep is equivalent to falling in love with a narrative… any narrative. It doesn’t matter if it is self-created or otherwise. The thesis is intact and those who buy into the thesis are correct unless someone disproves the thesis. Only when the narrative has been proven wrong does the term “Thesis Creep” spring into existence. The Open Stance is the narrative. Those that use it are the group at-risk of “Thesis Creep”. Everyone else is at-risk of missing the movement.

Thus far, the Open Stance “Thesis” is intact. NO ONE has disproven it. NO ONE has even suggested it doesn’t do exactly what I’ve said it does for the golfer – a fact that is encouraging to me as a researcher. But I think it is only a matter of time until someone suggests otherwise. I would, I think, like to have a public debate and Q and A with them about the golf swing to find out what is absolutely true in a forum that eliminates equivocation. That way, the narrative can either crash horribly and I become the Thesis Creep, or continue unabated and the Open Stance investors see huge returns in their ball-striking.

My instinct tells me that those using the Open Stance will be proven to be the Warren Buffets of the golf swing world, and the healing of the golfer may continue. The remainder of the golfing public will watch the narrative expand from the sidelines. Please understand, just because we have a resource like this site doesn’t mean it was created as an original idea. The Open Stance Academy is a crucible of research and experimentation. I’ve done all the research already. My students are reaping the benefits already – some without even meeting me for a lesson.

That is the whole point! The Open Stance doesn’t require lessons if you believe the research has been rigorous, which is the case. It only requires that you do it with the same rigor with which it was brought to the surface. My opinion is that the only thing that will “Creep” is your scores. And they will creep… lower.
