Green-Reading for Lower Scores with Tim Tucker

On the Mark Show Notes

Tim Tucker is best known for his longtime work (caddy) with Bryson DeChambeau. Now a “bagman” for Kurt Kitayama, Tucker has a wealth of knowledge on Aerodynamics and Ballistics from his career in the US Airforce.  He is also one of the best green-readers on The PGA TOUR thanks to his extensive research in Aim-Point. Tim joins #OnthMark to discuss his True Aim Ball Marker designed to help you to aim better, improve your “start-lines” and make more putts.

He also talks about his career as a caddy and shares lessons on how to shave strokes by calculating correct yardages and accurate “Plays-Like” yardages.  He illustrates how environmental factors like Air Density, Heat or Cold, Damp or Dry influence how far a ball is likely to travel, and explains how you can apply those to improve Greens in Regulation and Approach Shot Proximity statistics.  He talks about “Iron (yardage) Gapping” for better control and results as he dives into Course Management insights and advice. Finally Tim shares “inside the ropes” insight from Augusta National in the lead up to The Masters.

He talks about the skills required for success including: Aggressive vs Defensive Strategies and Attitudes, Understanding Swirling Winds and Playing in Variable Conditions, and Handling and Performing under intense Pressure.
