In The Spotlight
Unveiling Augusta’s Putting Perils
Watching golf on TV doesn’t always give us the best representation of what the real conditions are like for the players
Ever watched the Masters from the comfort of your living room and marvelled at the seemingly effortless putting prowess of the pros?
Well, buckle up, because Ken Brown’s latest ‘Ken On the Course’ video is about to shatter that illusion.
In a captivating demonstration, Ken shows the stark reality of putting at Augusta National’s infamous 15th green.
Smoooooth and Fast!!
A look at the 15th green, using the giant homemade Matometer😉

This Week's Featured Golf Hole
As part of our Player Profile Series we ask the Players to tell us their favourite hole from across the Golf Courses in Wiltshire, this is the choice of this week's Player.
Roger’s Favourite Hole is
The 1st hole at Ogbourne Downs
Roger Says “Looks easy but difficult to par”.
Hole 1 Par 4
- Aim up the left hand side of the fairway to allow the gentle slope of the fairway bring the ball back into the centre.
- Avoid missing this green on the right or you face having a tricky up and down for a par.
- It’s better to favour the left side of the green and use the slope of the bank to push the ball back toward to green
- The green slopes from right to left allowing for a challenging two-putt.
