Level 3 PGA Teaching Which is an example of playing smart? - ANS Rehearse risky shots to visualize the outcome Based on research at what speed should a skill be mentally rehearsed prior to actual performance? - ANS At performance speed Grip pressure is an example of pre swing adjustment? (T/F) - ANS True What step in the pre shot routine is helpful to a player who wants to trust their swing? - ANS Use logical self-talk Which conditions enhances the benefits of mental practice? - ANS When motivated Which of the following makes cognitive hypothesis an effective learning tool? - ANS Students can readily identify where to focus their attention What is an effective means of helping an inexperienced beginner use mental practice or imagery to improve performance? - ANS Modeling How should players use the post shot routine to achieve complete focus on the process of playing the game? - ANS ???? What is lacking when newly introduced swing changes are lost between lessons? - ANS Transfer learning What should lance do after he selects an intermediate target, addresses the ball and reminds himself not to pick up the club on the backswing? - ANS Step back, refocus, and start over What do pre and post shot routines provide? - ANS A structured approach to helping players focus on the process of playing the game What approach is recommended to optimize learning transfer of a golf skill? - ANS The golf skill should be practiced in original learning at the same performance level demanded in transfer learning. Transferring a learned skill of a 20 foot chip onto a practice green to a 50 foot chip on the same practice green is an example of stimulus generalization?(T/F) - ANS True When is mental practice and motor imagery most effective? - ANS In conjunction with physical practice Jim has been coming over the top on the downswing and is trying to change his movement in the opposite direction by dropping the club to the inside on the downswing. Which of the following will most likely occur? - ANS Learning will be interfered with by old neural networks According to research which of the following will optimize performance when combining mental and physical practice? - ANS Physical practice followed by mental practice How is the transfer effect most likely to influence a situation where a player with an over the top down swing is being taught to drop the club below the shaft plan? - ANS Negatively What is the essence of the mental game? - ANS manage emotions Which is an example of interference or negative transfer? - ANS An old swing movement trumps a new swing movement Cheryl is ahead at the final hole of her clubs stroke play championship. She takes extra time surveying the green, but three putts lose the event by one stroke. What most likely happened? - ANS She played with doubt Willingness to accept poor swings and outcomes is an example of how golfers can get in their own way when playing.(T/F) - ANS True Which is an example of "Form Focus of Attention"? - ANS Keeping your head down during a putting stroke What is expected when old neural networks positively transfer to the new swing movements? - ANS Increased learning rate Emotion management strategies should be part of both pre and post shot routines?(T/F) - ANS True Learning transfer is greater when created under the same conditions as original learning?(T/F) - ANS True What strategy should an instructor use to actively engage the student at the beginning of the lesson? - ANS Get the student talking about the topic at hand What technique do expert instructors use at the beginning of a lesson to gain useful information about their students? - ANS Conversational questioning An objective evaluation requires that an instructor exercises professional judgment independently of standardized measures?(T/F) - ANS False What is one way to diminish spontaneity and creativity that bring life to a lesson? - ANS Rely on nonverbal behaviors What questioning strategy progressively narrows and reworks a question to align it more closely with a desired answer? - ANS Reformulation What can teachers do to get students to openly share their thoughts and feelings during a lesson? - ANS Accept their responses without judgment What type of assessment is made during the instructional/learning process? - ANS Formative Which of the following is a benefit of a professional association membership? - ANS Knowledge obtained through networking What do experienced teachers focus on when modifying lesson activities during the lesson? - ANS Student performance How can instructors teach students that what they just learned is part of a bigger picture? - ANS End the lesson with a trailer Which reflective teaching technique allows an instructor to review and analyze why he/she made specific decisions? - ANS Teaching journal What has to happen before teaching skills needing improvement can be identified? - ANS Current Performance must be analyzed Which technique do effective listeners use to remember what their students tell them? - ANS Mentally summarize students statements Which is a disadvantage of using directed observation? - ANS Predisposed observers see what they expect to see Which student predisposition must a teacher overcome to develop an interactive lesson climate? - ANS Remaining silent during the lesson Too little driver loft is one of the biggest killers of a balanced golf swing.(T/F) - ANS True Keeping static lie angles constant, which club will play more upright as a result of changing from a shorter club to a longer club during a fitting? - ANS The longer club How will a more offset head design affect club performance? - ANS Close the clubface at impact If the center of a lie angle impact mark is ¼" from the centerline of the face, how many degrees must the lie angle be changed to move the sole impact mark to the centerline of the face? - ANS 1 degree Club set make up should be based on which pair of considerations? - ANS Players game and home course What is the first thing an instructor should test when determining the physical capabilities of a junior golfer? - ANS Motor skills Which club would be affected most by an ill fitted lie angle? - ANS Nine iron How should adults approach their training routine to maximize improvements in their golf performance? - ANS Warm up and cool down How does too little driver loft affect the player during the swing? - ANS Causes swing and dynamic balance manipulations What is the predictable outcome of an optimal club fitting? - ANS More accurate ball flight feedback Which will most affect the direction of a putt? - ANS The lie of the putter Which is the most often overlooked component of a physical training program for juniors? - ANS Recovery What should be the priority when designing a training program for adults? - ANS Include exercise activities that correct the major area of concern What should be the emphasis of a training program for adults? - ANS Make them a better athlete Keeping the clubface perpendicular to the target line at impact is the best way to compensate for a poor lie angle. (T/F) - ANS False What is the first step for the PGA club fitting model? - ANS Conduct a personal interview What does a chronic training program help the instructor achieve when designing acute training programs? - ANS Proper progression of exercise activities What factor most influences putter loft sitting? - ANS Dynamic loft angle What will the ball flight direction be if an iron contacts the lie board near the soles midline toward the toe? - ANS Right Which club fitting characteristic has the most influence in golfer's capability to control the distance of their putts? - ANS Head Design
