MARK TUCKER
Our new Head Greenkeeper, Mark Tucker, has been in the position since the 3rd January 2012. Mark is Devon born and came to Neath from the famous Saunton Golf Club where he worked for 13 years finishing as Deputy Head Greenkeeper on the Championship East Course. Both courses at Saunton are ranked within the top 100 in the UK and the East Course 60th in the world.
Mark is qualified with a National Vocational Qualification Level 3 and has all other necessary qualifications to take on the role of Head Greenkeeper and help Neath improve to become the finest heathland course in Wales. Working at Saunton has offered Mark the opportunity to play a leading role in all areas of greenkeeping including the design and construction of greens, tees and bunkers. All of these transferable skills will be available to Mark as he takes on his new role here at Neath.
Mark has been involved in the preparation of a golf course for tournaments such as the Brabazon Trophy, British Boys Championship, British Senior Open and Carris Trophy. Mark is a golfer playing to a handicap of 10 and was a Helmsman for the Ilfracombe RNLI Lifeboat.
