Its not about Strokes Gained as much as it’s about reducing Strokes Lost. DECADE FOUNDATIONS SUBSCRIPTION Since launching the DECADE App three years ago we have learned many things, not the least of which is that it can quickly make virtually anyone a much better player, and it’s a lot for younger or less experienced players to consume. The Elite version of the DECADE App was designed to replace the live DECADE Seminar which is over four hours long and intended for elite players. We did not anticipate all the interest it would generate with junior golfers and mid-handicap players. I guess we should have. With that in mind we have created DECADE Foundations to replace our Lite product to better serve that audience. Junior will drastically slow down the avalanche of information within the App. This will more appropriately match the Golf IQ of our subscribers. Over the course of six months the content within the App will walk a player through the basics of course management and mindset slowly morphing into the Elite version of strategy over time. The statistics portal will also start slow and build into a robust and easy to use portal DECADE ELITE SUBSCRIPTION required for GPS Stats Entry, Peer Strokes Gained Comparison and Custom Tailored Yardage Books. **DECADE account required to access content 6 Month DECADE Foundations Subscription available through App Store for $99.99 which is charged to your iTunes account upon purchase. The subscription auto-renews unless turned off at least 24-hours before the end of the current 6 month period.
