Welcome back to the Hackett Out Golf podcast. It's myself and Greg Chalmers today, just me and

Greg. Lou has been called into the office, his favorite place.

Poor fella.

Kicking and screaming. Yeah, not happy.

So Andy Johnson has asked us a question on Facebook. Good question here, Andy. He's asking, Greg,

I get muddled with internal the external thoughts and drills. I'm quite a visual person. So,

for example, if in a lesson I'm told to do a certain movement, I'm visualising that and

almost forget about the ball. How would you recommend

navigating that? Should I just stick to either internal or external thoughts going forwards?

This is something I thought about a lot growing up because I have really played with all of these

ideas. Out of In-, so just for everyone listening,

internal thought would be, let's say I'm trying to get my left shoulder to a position.

I'm going to like just internally visualize as I'm swinging.

I'm not even thinking about the ball or thinking about where it's going so much, maybe,

but I think that could be debated, which we'll talk about today.

Or if I'm trying to move my hands in a certain way above my head where I can't see,

I'm like really visualising it.

I explained it once almost like I see myself kind of stood next to myself,

looking at myself is what I kind of can see in my mind's eye, because I've used video basically all my life in my swing.

I can very much visualize where certain bits are or put myself outside of me looking in.

It would be internal. External thoughts would be more like target over there, bang, hit it, that kind of idea.

Right, right.
