What do skillful instructors carefully consider when concluding a lesson?

• A. A summary worksheet
• B. Memorable and purposeful close
• C. End on a neutral note
• D. Move to a new topic immediately

Answer: (B)

Closing a lesson on a memorable and purposeful note helps students retain what they learned and stay motivated to practice. In golf coaching, the end of a session should tie together the concepts and cues from the lesson with a clear takeaway and a concrete practice plan. This kind of close recaps the key adjustments, gives a specific cue the student can repeat, and assigns a focused drill or task for home practice. That combination reinforces learning, builds confidence, and provides direction for next steps, making the session feel complete and actionable. Other approaches, like simply summing up with a worksheet, ending on a neutral note, or moving to a new topic right away, miss the opportunity to consolidate learning and leave the student without a clear next move.
