Shoot your decade
THE DECADE SHOOTER
Who is a Decade Shooter?
A Decade Shooter is a golfer who can shoot their decade. Golfers ages 70–79 can break 80, golfers ages 80–89 can break 90, and golfers ages 90–99 can break 100.
A Decade Shooter sets SMART goals to achieve Decade Shooter status.
BETTER TOGETHER
Decade Shooter Community
The core of Decade Shooter is the unique community it will create and foster. Our goal is to build a connected community of like-minded golfers—to help you enjoy our "special game" at a high level for life! The Decade Shooter community will help you recognize and celebrate milestones in your golf journey.
PROGRESS FOR LIFE
Lifelong Improvement
Lifelong improvement in your golf game starts with setting meaningful, high-quality goals. Many golfers set goals that sound great but are often unrealistic:
“I'm going to be a scratch golfer!” “I'm going to shoot my age!”
Becoming a scratch golfer or shooting your age can be a difficult goal to reach. Instead, challenge yourself with a goal that's both ambitious and achievable—become a Decade Shooter! Aim to shoot your decade and track your progress over time.
Join us and make every round a step toward success!

Snapshot of a Decade Shooter
Golf is not just a pastime—it’s a passion!
Decade Shooters may visit a golf store or local pro shop just to browse—and walk out with a new driver.
Decade Shooters regularly monitor their handicap index using GHIN or another resource.
A Decade Shooter is usually 65 or older. Golfers ages 65–69 are working toward becoming Decade Shooters in their 70s.
Decade Shooters may have a cache of saved golf videos to watch while waiting for the chiropractor.
A Super Decade Shooter—one of the rare few—can shoot their decade in their 60s. May they walk on lush fairways!

The benefits of connection extend beyond emotional well-being. Studies have found that loneliness and social isolation are associated with a higher risk of heart disease and stroke.
