Tucker Wolf

Tucker Wolf is a member of the Golf team and has been working hard both at the range and at school. We asked Tucker about his daily routine, as well as tips and tricks that keep him sharp on the course. Here are his answers.

Q: How does your game day start? Any specific morning routines?

A: I start my game day by having a cup of coffee and a good breakfast.

Q: What do you typically eat before a game? Do you have any specific meals?

A: I try to eat Chipotle as much as possible before a match.

Q: How do you mentally prepare for a game, what kind of music do you listen to or any meditation practices?

A: Before a game I’ll put on a solid yacht rock or acoustic playlist. This succeeds in dialing me in, in a calm manner. 

Q: What goes through your mind right before the game starts? How do you handle the nerves, if there are any?

A: The only thing that goes through my mind is to shoot low. Personally, I choose not to believe in nerves therefore they don’t affect me. 

Q: How do you stay focused during the game, especially in high pressure moments?

A: I try to take the round one shot at a time. Throughout the season, I was able to rely on my teammate, Andrew “Do it All Dre,” to stay in the moment. 

Q: What are some key things you do to stay calm if things aren’t going well?

A: If things aren’t going well, I just refer to my ample practice and imagine that I’m striping balls on the range.

Q: How do you balance emotions, whether you’re celebrating or coping with a loss?

A: When coping with a loss, I simply put it behind me. When celebrating a win, I will often migrate to B-Dubs with the guys and demolish some wings. 

Q: How do you wind down at the end of game day?

A: To wind down at the end of a game day, I will simply grab some food and melt on my deck.
