The overuse of technology on the lesson tee seems to affect the advanced player more than the beginning player.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. It depends
• D. Not sure

Answer: (B)

Focusing feedback from technology on learners can create cognitive load, and who feels that load depends on their experience level. Beginners are still building basic movements and a sense of timing, so bombarding them with video analysis, numbers, and instant swing feedback can overwhelm their developing feel and slow progress. Advanced players usually have more established patterns and a better capacity to filter what’s useful; they can use targeted data to refine specifics without losing the overall feel. Because of that, the overuse of technology on the lesson tee does not inherently affect the advanced player more than the beginner; it often affects beginners more or equally, depending on how the feedback is delivered. Hence the statement is not generally correct.
