Why do we love new ideas like “The Open Stance”? Certainly, novelty attracts people. New ideas are food for our brains, to, I suppose. Do we enjoy considering the pros and cons, sloppiness or precision within each kernel? Whatever our attraction to new or different ways of thinking, we love expressing our own interpretive understanding once we agree.

I might contend that we love them for the same reason we love stories of buried treasure. The Atoche Motherlode, Chocolate Mountain, Grand Canyon, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and more stoke our imaginations with possibility and adventure. How something lost to the mist of time can once again bring riches to the adventurous… it’s exciting.

I might also contend we love them like we love new shoes. Minolo Blahniks, Jimmy Choos, Air Jordans, Allen Edmonds et al provide us opportunity to show off. We certainly express the relationship of the shoe to our body or style differently than anyone else – even if we are wearing the same shoe. Hence, when we recognize and purchase quality shoes, employing them is its own reward.

Or, is our love of new ideas more like our fondness for vacation? Time away from everyday reality happens in many different forms and locations even though, and I assume, percentages of budgets are equally affected. We accumulate adventurous or romantic (treasured) stories to retell friends and family. Ultimately, our vacations are interpreted to be totally unique to us like a Ferragamo to a foot. However, we are all left with memories.

Come to think of it, the Open Stance is an idea much like the others. First, we can polish off a treasure lost in time and join golf’s greats of the past while we pursue our own present. Putting ourselves in the shoes of Vardon, Young Tom Morris, Francis Ouimet, and Bobby Jones can transport us to a more innocent time in our history that technology can never touch.

Second, we can try it on to see how it makes us feel and look. Maybe we’re stagnating and need a stylistic change. We sense we need new colors and new material to adorn our stodgy swings. And, granted, maybe the Open Stance is not the most comfortable platform, but who cares… look how good we look in it!

And third, the Open Stance is portable. Success arrives at home or away. Therefore, whether we’re at St. Andrews, Royal Melbourne, or an out-of-state muni, memories leave us with unique stories of adventure wherever we choose to land.
