Description
In this episode of the Driven Golf Podcast, Jim speaks with Jeff Bullock, co-founder of The Universal Golf Ranking (TUGR.org), an innovative golf ranking system that aims to bring accuracy and fairness to the professional and junior golf landscapes. The conversation dives into the creation of TUGR and the motivation behind developing an alternative to traditional point-based ranking systems, like the OGWR and WAGR.
The conversation transitions to TUGR's impact on junior golf, where the system has expanded to eliminate inefficiencies and counterintuitive incentives that exist in the current junior golf landscape. Jeff and Jim discuss how the system can provide insights for both players and coaches, allowing both to make more informed decisions based on players' performance data.
In Angle of Attack with Andrew Lewis, Andrew and Jim continue their series looking into the factors that differentiate a 72 vs. 70 golfer. In this episode they focus on course management and decision making that can really separate between the elite and hyper-elite.
