DECADE powered by BirdieFire

I started playing in my late 20s, 43 now, so I had no clue about course management as I never played on a team or anything just with friends and the occasional tournament. Getting down to a single digit handicap I hit a plateau of improvement. I did find some info on course management which helped but until I found decade I did not have the tools to really understand and implement course management. Understanding decade strategies and relying on them has really helped me play my best and removed a lot of the stress and frustration as well as understand what I need to work on and how to do so to really shave strokes off my game. I am now a 5 handicap and really feel that I can reach my goal of dropping to a 2 handicap or better by the end of this 2025 season. Excited to see the progress and learn from each mistake along the way. Knowing how to properly select the proper target and being committed to your decision is key to this game, and decade provides you with the knowledge and tools to do so. No matter what level you are playing at now, decade will help you, if you commit to it, period.

May seem simple to some, I’ve played golf my whole life…after decade golf is easier. Great mental thoughts and reasons to play shots you KNOW you can hit vs. HOPE you can hit. The elite membership with stats tracking is my favorite golf purchase in the last 10 years. I can’t believe someone made the software that enables regular players to track a few stats and have strokes gained numbers available to them for their personal game. Keep it coming. Will have a subscription for a long time.

If you want to shoot lower scores and your swing is decent, my advice is to play a lot with a player who shoots the scores you want and learn how they manage around the course. If you’re like me and don’t have regular playing partners who are at that level, you must use Decade to learn how to navigate this game at the highest level. Simply googling golf course management will give you too generic of tips, many of which are simply incorrect, like playing less than driver club off the tee “to get the ball in play”. (Fyi, the correct tip is to practice more with your driver and/or get lessons and turn it into a weapon. You should be bummed when the correct play is less than driver 😁) The Decade system is based in math and strokes gained statistics. The app continues to improve. Scott holds regular webinars to answer questions and explain nuances.
