Statistics
As many of you know, statistics can greatly help a golfer as they are working hard to improve their game. They can also greatly help a coach too! We have learned in recent years that most statistics are outdated and do not provide much insight into how they relate to scoring. In other words, did hitting three fairways really hurt my score? If so, from a scoring standpoint, how badly did it impact it? Luckily, there are great programs that can answer the tough questions about statistics and they can help us see exactly how many fractions of a stroke certain parts of our game are either helping or hurting us. These stats are also great for coaches as they can better facilitate practices and know exactly what parts of their student’s game need improving. DECADE powered by BirdieFire is one of these great programs.
DECADE also includes the BEST course management and optimal target strategy program! It is a game changer!
Moving forward, we are requiring our students and recruiting clients to use this program, and it will be included in our annual fee. This will better help our players improve their game, help us as coaches know exactly why they are shooting the scores they’re shooting, and better prepare them for college golf. We know this is going to greatly help our players! Feel free to check out their website for more information.
