Same goes for your game

It was never your
swing. It's your
decisions.

This week the best players alive will card 78s at Shinnecock on swings that can shoot 65. The course tests decisions, not ball-striking. Your game is no different. One Saturday you shoot 78, the next a 91: same swing, same course. Most golfers give away 3 to 6 shots a round on targets, misses, and recoveries they could have managed.

Your range sessions don't follow you to the first tee

One bad hole unravels the whole round: doubles and triples that shouldn't happen

You aim at pins you shouldn't, lay up when you shouldn't, and guess when you shouldn't have to

You've tried lessons. The swing is decent. The scorecard still doesn't reflect it

"I use the DECADE system that Scott Fawcett came up with. It has been influential, really helped me win the NCAA Championships and US Amateur."
Bryson DeChambeau · 2015 NCAA Champion & 2015 US Amateur Champion, 2020 & 2024 US Open Champion

How it works

The math that solved
golf strategy.

DECADE combines two data sets no one had connected before. The result is an optimal target for every shot. Not a feeling, a number.

I
Map your dispersion

Know the real shape of where your shots go, not where you aim.

II
Pick the smart target

Aim where you score best across your misses, not at the pin. A number, not a feeling.

III
Miss in the right place

Turn bad swings into pars. The pros don't avoid misses; they plan them.

"The DECADE System quantifies the strategy that I have observed at the highest level of amateur and professional golf over my career. It's a simple way of explaining what we have taught our players for years. Anyone that wants to shoot lower scores should check it out."

Head Coach · 2018 & 2025 NCAA National Champions

"The doubles and triples are gone. I used to leak shots on holes I had no business attacking. Now I know exactly where to miss."

"I'm a surgeon. I appreciate systems. DECADE is the first golf 'system' I've encountered that's actually based on rigorous data."
Dr. Andrew K.

"I couldn't have done it without DECADE's help and guidance! I just stick to DECADE every shot no matter if I'm up 4 or 4 down."
