    Why Your Range Swing is Different to Your On Course Swing

    Why does your golf swing feel solid on the range…but completely fall apart when it matters most?In this episode of the Macro Golf Podcast, we break down why swing changes disappear under pressure — and why the old move always seems to creep back in on the course.This isn’t just a mental issue.It’s a blend of physical capacity, technical ownership, and decision-making under pressure — and most golfers misunderstand which one is actually failing them.🎯 What We Cover in This EpisodeWhy swing changes often hold up early in a round — then disappearHow warming up, fatigue, and physical freedom change your movement patternsWhy your body defaults to old habits when it doesn’t fully own the new moveThe difference between range success and on-course performanceWhy pressure physically changes sequencing, speed, and club deliveryHow fear of outcomes (OB, water, score) quietly destroys commitmentWhy most golfers blame technique when the real issue is decision-makingThe exact step-by-step process to take swing changes from practice → pressure🧠 The Big Insight Most Golfers MissYour swing doesn’t break down because the change is “bad.”It breaks down because:your body can’t sustain it yetyour brain doesn’t trust it under consequenceor you haven’t trained it in environments that actually create pressureIf the new move isn’t your default pattern, your nervous system will abandon it the moment stress appears.That’s not weakness — that’s biology.🛠️ How to Make Swing Changes Stick on the CourseWe outline a clear progression:Skill acquisition (block practice)Pressure simulation (games + constraints)On-course experimentation (without score obsession)Full competitive exposureMiss a step — and the change won’t survive.This episode is essential listening if:your swing looks great on video but fails on the courseyou keep “losing it” mid-roundor you’re stuck between practicing well and scoring poorly📈 Take the free Golf Performance Scorecard for a free off-season performance plan→ https://macrogolfonline.co.uk/audit🏌️‍♂️ Apply for 1:1 coaching→ https://macrogolfonline.co.uk/coaching📲 Try the Macro Golf App→ https://macrogolfonline.co.uk/appFollow us on Instagram@Joe_MacroGolf@Sam_MacroGolf@Jack_MacroGolf@MacroGolf_

    Golf Coaching Myths We No Longer Believe (And What Actually Works)

    Play the same simulator the pros use 👉 https://fullswingemea.com/pages/macro-golfTake your free Macro Golf Scorecard 👉 https://macrogolfonline.co.uk/scorecard Welcome back to the Macro Golf Podcast from Full Swing HQ.Today we’re diving into a big one:👉 What we’ve completely changed our minds on as coaches. Golf coaching has evolved massively.We’ve evolved massively.And over the last few years — especially working together, screening players, and bringing fitness + technique under one roof — our perspectives have shifted in ways we never expected. This episode unpacks those shifts. • Why “just get strong and mobile” isn’t enough anymoreHow we now bridge fitness and technique using force production patterns. • Why power sequencing influences your swing more than mobility doesAnd why golfers who rotate hard, push hard, or extend early need different gym work. • Why generic exercise prescriptions fail — and how individualised power work changes swings • How force direction, timing, and previous sports shape the way people swing the club…and how to rewire it with gym drills. • How screening has completely changed the way we coachWhat we see, what it tells us, and how it informs swing decisions. • Why writing “perfect” training plans is less important than understanding the personThe plan only works if the player does. • Why coaching is 90% communication and translationTurning feels into cues, finding the right words for the right brain, adapting tools to individuals. • Why awareness of target is one of the most powerful skills in golfAnd how it transformed our own putting, chipping, and ball flight control. • Why long practice sessions often do more harm than goodFocus, attention, motor learning, and why shorter windows work better. • Why mobility training, stretching methods, and habit-building all had to be rethought This is one of our most honest, reflective, and “inside the studio” conversations so far.Coaches will relate.Players will get clarity.Everyone will learn something.
