Tim Cusick is the Director of Instruction at The Four Seasons Resort and Club in Dallas, TX. He is an award-winning member of The PGA  and a Golf Magazine Top 100 Golf Instructor. He joins "On the Mark" to help you maximize your performance out on the golf course. Tim helps you to "read" the lie of the golf ball (specifically Tight Lies, Wet Lies, Rough Lies, Divot Lies and Uneven Lies) and understand their respective influence on shot power and trajectory. He also discusses how to make the appropriate shot selection and swing adjustment for success. Tim also talks about the influence of the wind on shot trajectory and distance. From a playing and scoring perspective he also elaborates on a beneficial on-course mind-set.
