Frequently Asked Questions

How should I structure a golf practice session?

Golf teaching professionals widely agree that structured practice with specific goals outperforms aimless ball-hitting. A well-designed session has three phases: warm-up (10–15 minutes of dynamic movement and easy swings), a focused block (1–2 specific skills with drill progressions and measurable reps), and on-course simulation (playing imaginary holes with full pre-shot routines). K. Anders Ericsson's 1993 research on deliberate practice — published in Psychological Review — confirmed that quality and intentionality matter far more than volume across all skill domains, including sport.

How long should a golf practice session be?

Motor learning research suggests that focus and retention decline after 45–60 minutes of concentrated skill work. A focused 30-minute session with clear targets produces better long-term retention than 2 hours of undirected ball-hitting. The optimal session length depends on your goal: 30 minutes for a single-skill tune-up, 45–60 minutes for multi-skill work, and 90 minutes if you're splitting time between range and short game. Coach Harvey generates timed plans in all four durations with built-in transitions.

What should I practice at the driving range?

Mark Broadie's strokes-gained research at Columbia University (published in "Every Shot Counts", 2014) showed that the long game — tee shots and approach shots — accounts for roughly two-thirds of the scoring gap between handicap levels, while short game and putting account for the remaining third. Yet most amateurs disproportionately hit driver at the range. Effective practice alternates between technique drills (fixing a specific fault), target practice (hitting to specific yardages with irons and wedges), and on-course simulation (playing imaginary holes with consequences). Coach Harvey builds plans around where you actually lose strokes.

Can I get a golf practice plan for my specific swing faults?

Yes. Coach Harvey covers 44 common swing faults — including over-the-top, early extension, casting, and sway — each mapped to specific corrective drills drawn from established teaching methods. Select your skill level (beginner, intermediate, or advanced), choose 1–3 faults to target, and set your available time. The AI generates a plan with drill progressions, rep counts, rest intervals, and focus cues. You can download the plan as a PDF to reference at the range.
