Agree. Acted like a chode.

[@johngerbeb]

You think maybe, Scott wouldnt have wanted to put too much information in the final video because he makes a living from people paying him for the information?

[@green.reider]

Watching this video confirmed my thoughts over the last few weeks. Scrambling from the rough near the green, is much better than struggling from 160yds in the fairway.

[@jalenstreethawker20m53]

Coyote Ridge is my home course. I've played over 20 rounds of golf there since ive been a member there. The guy from Decades is spot on with his approach and course management . Great vid.

To sum up what Scott brought to this video - Hit driver every hole. Even par 3s, just to be sure you're past the hole.

I'm not the calibur golfer he is, so maybe this is more common with higher skilled golfers, but I don't get trying to keep score but then refusing to give yourself what you really got on hole 4. "I'm just gonna take a bogey". It took three shots to get in from the sand, which should be counted. That was a triple bogey (including your drop from the bushes) that you should count as a double bogey, only because Scott said "That's good" before your putt. I guess I just figured out how to break 90 every time....refuse to take more than bogey on any hole I screw up for myself.

[@GamersHereAgain12]

No what he is saying is the choices he would make different and still yield a similar result.. Difference as a 90 player, would be you never have 2 shots that are similar.

[@VivaLaGolf42]

I totally agree with him about clubbing up instead of hoping you hit the perfect shot. Got a birdie today by clubbing up to a 9 iron over PW knowing I had more than enough club, pin was in the back, and I rolled it 8 foot to the left for a birdie putt! Had I went with PW I would’ve came up short, probably left, and had a hard chip to save par.

[@gkLA33]

Unless you’re flushing the ball on a given day on par 3 it’s better to club up especially where the green is guarded well by water or sand

[@larrybud]

I hover between a 1-4 index and I just get the back edge of the green yardage and hit a club that I know won't go over. I hit way more greens than flag hunting and a 50 foot birdie putt is better than most chips.

id like to see the strategy on a different course. from the looks of it, fairways are very wide and there are no penalties for a wayward drive. It would be interesting to see the strategy on holes with more risks, or really tight fairways.

I agree! This was the course that allowed us to come out and we had to roll with it. I think it was a great intro to his stuff without getting too deep.

DECADE has a driving decision tree/flow chart to cover basically every scenario off the tee. This video walks through every step of it with examples. The whole video is interesting but if you start around 15:30 he walks through every scenario. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJqmhYekoqyDsLc

[@gregdupree3814]

I love the mindset in this video. Love it. But it got me thinking about knowing my misses. I don’t recall that it was brought up in the decision making on each hole. Is the thought of “What if I miss my “usual miss”” on this hole a valid concern when dissecting each hole with this approach? Thanks y’all.

[@scottfawcett3290]

I believe, on average, if you have a "typical miss" it is all part of a relatively normally distributed shot pattern. You might just not be aiming your shot gun correctly if decent shots are typically right of left of your intended target. Hard question to answer succinctly, but one key is stop wondering "what if I hit my usual miss". Pick a target, commit, get good at centering your shot pattern over it. Good luck!

[@mossy44sammoss]

Really enjoyed this kinda vid George! Really interesting points that I can use for my game. Big fan of how positive you are even on a ‘sloppy shot’ for you (1yard left/right😂) was confusing at the stats part though in terms of what you should expect from certain distances etc, I’d like to understand that in more detail as I love info like that! Great vid

[@ews1532]

there's two things to this question - the first is the expected shot pattern. this will vary by distance and become larger (both in width and depth) the longer the shot. that information will help you construct your strategy on how to play certain shots/holes. the second is the expected strokes to hole out from a given distance. (i don't know the actual numbers off the top of my head) but for example, expected shots to hole out from 200 yards using pga tour shotlink data could be 2.25 (again, making that up). from 150 yards it could be 2.05. that data underscores the "expectation" piece of decade which is to more or less allow us to be fair to ourselves on the golf course. simply because we have 125 yards from the middle of the fairway doesn't mean you should always make birdie. i think the example in the video is that from 60 yards pga tour pros only make birdie 1 in 3 times. decade is built around identifying shot patterns and playing to that variance. i hope that helps.

Always enjoy the videos; even worked a few pointers into my game. I have a suggestion for a future educational video; I 'd like to see you play 9 holes with fitted clubs and 9 holes with the same clubs off the shelf. I am trying to convince my wife to let me get fitted for a new set of Callaways; will it help the game enough to justify the cost?

[@brandonmadsen9997]

[@Somewheredownintexas]

#9 @ coyote ridge IS a tough hole, and you caught in on an easy day! It faces south and the normal condition is a 5-15mph wind in your face. Nice round, hope you played the full 18, its a fun course. Great work w Scott also, had been hearing about him for years locally this sold me on signing up for DECADE.

Hey George. I'd be really interested in knowing how different you would have played if not following the decade course management strategy. You are a great player and personally I don't think it did much as you can play well enough using George strategy.

[@chadcook3709]

Frank C I agree. IMO he only hurt him if anything. But interesting to see the layouts and thoughts

[@mangoman2148]

The sample size is wayyy too small here to make any meaningful quantitative comparison. In my opinion, correctly applying DECADE can only help your game. The maths/analytics behind it is 100% legit and the expectation management is huge for the mental side of the game. It's pretty funny watching scratch golfers get pissed when they don't make birdie from 100 yards when PGA Tour players only do it 1 in 5. So much unnecessary anguish.

[@frankc8916]

@@mangoman2148 I respectively disagree. The problem with this strategy is that it's aimed at scratch and plus handicap golfers to execute.

[@mangoman2148]

@@frankc8916 100% it was designed for elite amateurs and professionals. I don't know much about George's game but he definitely looks like a strong plus-handicap from this video. Scott has brought out a 'Decade Lite' for the average golfer and they can still learn a lot because they are even worse at decisions like taking enough club and picking sensible targets.

[@ews1532]

@@frankc8916 this is not true. it is designed to assist any golfer in identifying gaps in their course management through better decision making. it probably won't help a 30 handicapper - only instruction and practice will do that. but it can absolutely take a 15 index into the single digits. i went from an 8 to a 3 without making a single adjustment to my game and only my decision making.

Hopefully you still have my number(cards).

[@sub_second_life3174]

Second year golfer here shooting mid 80’s on average…. I have always said if every golfer could take a professional caddy with them that knew their golfers abilities, we would all shave 10 strokes off our games, especially on the putting green. I make decisions sometimes that cost me 1-2 strokes per hole because I am lacking the knowledge of what club is best from that lie. Blow up holes hurt everyone.

[@stormzyaoe581]

His whole hitting driver shortens the approach shot makes a lot of sense, I've always played whatever club off the tee that will leave my favourite yardage into the hole, 125 or 95 are preference so is there any times you might have preferred hitting a 3 wood 20 yards shorter leaving a different yardage in or it a case of shorter is always better?

[@distantworlds9104]

You would have to be an exceptionally bad wedge player for it not to be the case. Tour players and amateurs alike always average less strokes to get down the closer they are to the hole.

Cool system, seems proximity and fairway width based. Totally see why long hitters gravitate to it.

N we just think bust the front edge and or sit down in the middle of the green. But, his system is definitely a boomers paradise.

@@scottfawcett3290 ... understandable, everything has a ebb and flow of operation. Myself I'm on a track that takes driver out of the hands due to tee box shoots. Even 3w woods can be taken out the hand, my course has forced me into 19dg 4i , and searches for driving irons. I'm hooked on irons setup to fly, and if its errant it's the operator fault and not bulge and roll adding to the mix. If only I could just walk out to the 150 mark and drop. Dart city.

[@Zurdub]

The downside of going past the hole is that you're often left with downhill putts coming back. Is the theory that going longer protects against missing the green on mishits?

[@scottfawcett3290]

While that is true on average, intentionally seeking to leave it below the hole tacks however far you're trying almost directly on your proximity. So if you try to leave it 5 yards short you need to compare a 15' downhill putt to a 30' uphill putt. Once you are considering the entire range of potential outcomes you simply can't try to leave a certain putt...just try to get it as close as you can.

[@danmyers9372]

I suspect that Wesley and many tour level pros might disagree with some of this guys analysis. Specifically that hitting a 160 yard shot to 30 feet is “acceptable”. While you may not be giving up shots to par (strokes lost) as he says, how about the lost opportunity of a stroke gained? 160 yards for pros is a wedge, possibly a 9 for some. I think most top pros would not be satisfied with consistently hitting a shot with such a short club to 30’. Shots of this length (and shorter) is where top players look to gain strokes. Shooting around par will get you behind a counter selling gloves and balls.

[@dwboston1]

Check out PGA Tour average proximity to the hole by yardage from the hole. You might be surprised how far away from the hole the Tour pros are on approach shots. For example, from 150-175 yards, the average proximity to hole is 27 feet 8 inches.
