Meet the caddie who created PGA Tour's green-reading books

Mark Long started a successful business called Tour Sherpa, which creates the detailed yardage books and green-contour books you see players and caddies using each week on the PGA Tour. (He also does a mean Ray Floyd impression.)

In the latest Under the Strap podcast, host T.J. Auclair welcomes Mark Long, who spent several years as caddie to Fred Funk. (Long also was coached by Funk on the University of Maryland golf team.) Long has started a successful business called Tour Sherpa, which creates the detailed yardage books and green-contour books used by players and caddies each week on the PGA Tour. Long talks about his business, his great run with Funk, and his spot-on impersonations of Seve Ballesteros and Raymond Floyd.
