What every golf instructor focuses on is the what, when, where, and how of the swing. Only the Open Stance Academy explains the why – giving players a deeper understanding of their swing that leads to lasting improvement. Long overdue (from the OSA) is the explanation of differences audibly. Therefore, the below video should begin to clear the landscape of explanations that stand between golfers and their autonomy.
Interference was always the point of instructors and teachers. In order to create dependency, practitioners had to remove individual accountability. Unfortunately, for the earnest, the “Best” teachers/Instructors reserved the right to step out of the way when blame for incompetence comes calling. They make you believe that you misunderstood them or misapplied their instructions. And you believe them, because either of those outcomes for failure is better than accountability.
On the other hand, we have the Open Stance.
Pros and coaches, under ideal conditions, should feel an immediate personal connection to my work. Tour Pros, if you don’t know why your swing works, then you don’t know why it fails under pressure. The best players don’t just repeat mechanics. Rather, they convert an idea into motion. Furthermore, most do not understand the fundamental truth of their motion. Coaches, you get in your player’s mind without an informational destination, which is tantamount to malpractice.
Tour coaches spend years refining a player’s motion. But without “the why”, they’re just troubleshooting symptoms instead of solving root causes. Problems continue with each iteration of enabling advice, which has troubled me like no other.
How do I reach golfers who must perform to fulfill dreams, but without ‘one-on-one’ contact? It’s been difficult, and selfish interests exist to prohibit just that level of interaction. But, as I’ve published in other formats… it’s only a matter of time.
The Open Stance Academy is exclusively positioned to offer the very solution they have been missing. But, it’s a big topic, and we live in a sound bite culture now. Again… removal of accountability rules us. I feel we are at a moment in history where we must cut out the middle-men and -women to survive.
If we are to ever escape the ‘problem, crisis, solution’ merry-go-round, in every industry, we must recognize that what every golf instructor focuses on is harmful, and recognize truth when it appears. Check out the following explanation of the learning dynamic to see if it represents your experience with lessons, and leave comments.
Everyone Improves With An Open Stance!
