The Method
One philosophy. Every lesson, intentional.
Golf isn't a sport you master. It's a craft you fall in love with. My job is to make the falling worth it.
— Andrew DeCordre
What I Believe
You should walk off the tee hitting it better than when you walked on. Not better-informed — better contact, straighter flight, more distance. If that didn't happen in our hour, the lesson didn't do its job.
You won't find a list of swing tips on this site. What fixes one player breaks another. I've taught thousands of lessons and I've never given the same one twice.
Want a full rebuild? We'll take it apart. Want to spend the hour on your driver, or chase down one bad ball flight? That's the hour. If your goal is to be the best player you can be, I'll tell you honestly what that road looks like — but the conversation starts with you.
There are hundreds of ways to swing a club well. If a move I'm asking for doesn't fit your body, or you can't repeat it under pressure, it isn't your swing — and we keep looking until we find one that holds up.
You should see better ball flight in the first handful of shots — sometimes the first one. I don't buy the old line that it has to get worse before it gets better. The ball flight is the only honest witness, and a pretty practice swing doesn't count for much at impact.

The Technology
A revolutionary teaching aid that reveals exactly what your feet are doing in relation to the rest of your body throughout the swing. Paired with synchronized video overlay, BodiTrak is one of the fastest paths to real improvement — maximum feedback, minimum guesswork.
FlightScope tracks both the ball and the club simultaneously, surfacing 29 data parameters that diagnose your swing with precision. We turn those numbers into a clear, prioritized plan so every range session moves you forward.
Blueprint for Success
Every player I work with moves through the same proven progression — adapted to their body, goals, and stage of the game.
Grip, posture, alignment, and ball position — the foundation everything else is built on.
Efficient body rotation that produces speed without strain or compensation.
Keeping the arms, body, and club working as one unit through the swing.
Finding the proper swing path and plane for your body, your tendencies, and your goals.
Junior Golf Specialist
Junior golf is one of my deepest specialties. Coaching young players takes patience, structure, and the ability to make hard concepts feel like a game. From first-timers to high-school competitors and college-bound juniors across Philadelphia, Chester County, and the Main Line, every lesson is built to develop sound fundamentals, real confidence, and a lifelong love for the sport. Andrew offers junior golf lessons throughout the greater Philadelphia area including West Chester, Coatesville, Phoenixville, and surrounding communities.
Watch
The recipe for real progress: roughly 10 lessons over 12 weeks, paired with intermittent practice between sessions. That cadence is what turns inconsistent contact into confident, repeatable swings — captured on camera, every step.

Transformations
"I'm 65 years old, and he had me hitting 180-yard 7 irons — even some with a beautiful draw — by the third session. He isolates the fundamentals and explains them in a fun, friendly way."
"Andrew highlighted my issues, visually showed me the flaws through technology, and helped me understand what a good shot felt like. I no longer waste time on the range."
"Andrew has been a great resource for gaining yardage and consistency with all my clubs. I had my best rounds of the year once I started working with him."
The TaylorMade custom approach is my favorite thing to fall back on when I need to review — one of the best parts of lessons with Andrew.
