Read the following description of a golfer's performance:

"During tournament play, the golfer executes their swing naturally without mentally tracking each movement component. While maintaining consistent swing mechanics, they actively evaluate factors such as wind direction, green contours, and strategic positioning. Their technique remains stable even when facing high-pressure situations in championship rounds."

Which practice approach would be MOST appropriate for this golfer's continued development?

Providing basic demonstrations of proper swing technique
Using video analysis to identify and correct technical flaws
Implementing competitive simulations with varying course conditions
Focusing on repetitive drills to develop muscle memory

C is correct: The athlete is clearly in the autonomous stage where practice should emphasise adaptation to varying competitive conditions to further develop performance under tournament pressure.

Other Options:

A is incorrect: Basic demonstrations are appropriate for the cognitive stage, not an athlete performing with fluid, efficient movements.
B is incorrect: Detailed technical analysis is more suitable for the associative stage when refining technique, not the autonomous stage described.
D is incorrect: Repetitive drills to develop muscle memory are most appropriate for the associative stage, while this athlete already demonstrates automatic execution.
