Every golfer has experienced it. You hit the ball brilliantly on the range, your swing feels comfortable and everything seems to be working. Then you walk onto the golf course and suddenly it feels completely different.The swing hasn't necessarily disappeared. The environment around the swing has changed.In this episode, we explore why your golf swing can feel so different in practice compared with what you experience on the golf course, and why being able to hit good shots on the range doesn't guarantee that you'll be able to reproduce them when you play.We look at how consequences, pressure, targets, different lies, changing conditions and having only one attempt at each shot can alter your intentions, attention, emotions and ultimately the movement your body produces.We also discuss the way golfers practise. Hitting multiple balls from the same position with the same club gives you opportunities to adjust and repeat that simply don't exist on the golf course. You can become very good at performing within that practice environment without necessarily becoming better at solving the problems golf actually presents.The aim is to make practice better at preparing you for performance, while also understanding why you shouldn't expect your swing to feel exactly the same in every environment.If you've ever walked off the range thinking you've finally found your golf swing, only to lose that feeling on the first tee, this episode should help explain what's actually happening.Find Your Match-Up:macrogolfonline.co.uk/auditWork with Macro Golf:macrogolfonline.co.uk/coachingFollow Macro Golf:Instagram: @macrogolf_Joe: @joe_macrogolfSam: @sam_macrogolfJack: @jack_macrogolfJames: @james_macrogolf#GolfPractice #GolfSwing #GolfImprovement #GolfPerformance #MacroGolf

Every golfer has experienced the difference between a swing that feels natural and automatic, and one where suddenly you're thinking about everything.That difference sits at the heart of the internal vs external golfer.In this podcast episode, we explore what happens when golfers become too internally focused on their movement, technique and body positions, and how that can change the way they actually perform.We look at why technical information can be incredibly useful for developing your golf swing, but why consciously controlling those same movements while you're trying to perform can create problems. We discuss swing thoughts, awareness, intention, external focus, practice environments and the challenge of taking technical changes from the range onto the golf course.There is also an important distinction between learning a movement and performing a movement. Something that helps you develop a skill isn't necessarily what you should be thinking about when you're standing over a golf ball trying to execute it.The aim is to understand when internal information is useful, when it starts getting in the way, and how golfers can become better at moving between development and performance.If you've ever hit the ball brilliantly without thinking about your swing, then stood over the next shot trying to recreate exactly what you just did and completely lost it, this episode should help explain why.Find Your Match-Up:macrogolfonline.co.uk/auditWork with Macro Golf:macrogolfonline.co.uk/coachingFollow Macro Golf:Instagram: @macrogolf_Joe: @joe_macrogolfSam: @sam_macrogolfJack: @jack_macrogolfJames: @james_macrogolf#GolfMentalGame #GolfSwing #GolfImprovement #GolfPerformance #MacroGolf
