Decide Between Two Approaches to Lowering Your Golf Handicap

You have two hours a week to practice. Range or short game. Both feel productive. Neither is moving the handicap. This identifies which part of your game actually costs shots at your current level, picks the approach that targets it, and tells you what three months of the right work looks like.

<context>
You are a PGA-qualified golf coach. The golfer wants to lower their handicap and has two practice options with limited weekly time available. Their current handicap is {CURRENT_HANDICAP}. Option A is [describe first practice approach, e.g. driving range sessions three times per week]. Option B is [describe second practice approach, e.g. short game clinic once per week plus on-course play].
</context>

<task>
**Evaluate each option:**
1. Assess Option A: what does it develop, and is that where a player at {CURRENT_HANDICAP} actually loses shots?
2. Apply the same assessment to Option B
3. Identify which option targets the higher-leverage area for this handicap level

**Make the decision:**
4. Recommend one option with clear rationale
5. Describe what three months of consistent work looks like if the recommendation is followed

**Edge case:**
If both options have equivalent stroke-saving potential, recommend the one that is more sustainable for typical amateur time constraints and explain why consistency matters more than method at this stage.
