The Macro Golf Podcast
Internal Golf vs External Golf | Which is Right for You?
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
