    S4 E8: GSD Golf Talks The Fastest Path to Lower Scores with Alex Huang, DECADE Golf

    In this episode of the GSD Golf Podcast, I’m joined by Alex Huang (@AlexHuangGolf), COO of DECADE Golf (@Decade_Golf), for a practical, stats-backed game plan to lower your scores fast—without changing your swing.

Alex also breaks down putting strategy most golfers overlook—especially how leaving long putts short quietly adds strokes—and what to do instead to give yourself more stress-free tap-ins. If you’re a junior golfer, a golf parent, or an everyday golfer trying to shoot lower scores with better decisions (not a total swing rebuild), this episode will give you a clear plan you can use immediately. Key Words: Lower golf scores, DECADE Golf strategy, course management, GIR greens in regulation, avoid doubles in golf, putting distance control, junior golf improvement, golf tips for parents.
