A Living Archive of Golf Science

Where the world's leading coaches, scientists, and players come together to explore the ideas, discoveries, and insights that shape the future of the game

The Evolution of Golf Starts Here

Open Forum began with a simple idea. Create a place for thoughtful discussion where coaches, scientists, and innovators could openly exchange ideas, question established thinking, and explore the future of golf instruction together.

Over time, those annual conversations have become something much larger.

They now form a growing archive of knowledge that reflects how modern golf continues to evolve... one discussion, one discovery, and one breakthrough at a time.

For Those Who Want to Go Deeper

Some golfers are satisfied collecting tips. Others want to understand why those tips work.

They ask better questions. They look beyond quick fixes. They enjoy exploring the science, the philosophy, and the subtle details that influence performance.

Open Forum was built for that kind of curiosity.

Whether you're a coach refining your approach or a player searching for a deeper understanding of the game, the archive offers an opportunity to learn from the conversations shaping modern golf instruction

A Conversation That Never Stops

Understanding doesn't arrive all at once. It develops over time. One conversation leads to another. One discovery reframes the last. One question opens the door to five more.

That's why the archive continues to grow. Not simply to preserve the past, but to help players and coaches build a richer understanding of the game with every new Open Forum.

For Players

As a player, the insights, ideas and pro-level tips you’ll get from watching these videos will give you an edge and dramatically improve your game.

For Coaches

As a coach, you’ll get a solid understanding of the latest techniques and game breakthroughs to take your students to a whole new level.

A Place for Insiders

Every annual event adds another chapter to an ever-growing body of knowledge. Rather than focusing on a single teaching philosophy or methodology, the archive explores the game through multiple disciplines, allowing you to discover how different ideas connect and evolve over time.

Inside Open Forum, you’ll gain deep insights on:

Biomechanics

How the body moves... and what modern research continues to reveal about efficient motion.

Motor Learning

How golfers actually develop skill, retain changes, and improve through practice.

Performance Science

The physical and mental factors that influence consistency under pressure.

Technology & Measurement

The tools transforming how coaches observe, measure, and understand the golf swing.

Coaching Philosophy

Different approaches to instruction, communication, and player development.

Built For The Long Game

The best players know improvement doesn't happen overnight. Neither does understanding.

The ideas preserved in the Open Forum Archive aren't meant to be consumed in a weekend and forgotten. They're meant to be revisited. Studied. Questioned. Connected.

Because the deeper your understanding becomes, the more value you'll continue to find within the archive. And that's precisely why members return year after year... not simply because new material is added, but because their perspective continues to evolve.

Progress Begins With Curiosity

The best coaches and the smartest players never stop asking questions

Ideas Should Be Challenged

Real advancement comes from constant discussion, not from blind dogma

Science & Experience Belong Together

You already know that research matters. But practical application is equally important

Learning Is Never Finished

Every Open Forum is another opportunity to expand what we know and improve upon it
