A peek inside issue 173 of bunkered

Be honest: when was the last time you practised your putting?

We’re not talking about chucking three balls on the green next to the first hole five minutes before your tee time.

We’re talking about actually about some proper time, with some proper structure, dedicated to helping you get the ball.

Chances are you can’t remember. Perhaps you never have.

If so, the latest edition of bunkered should be essential reading.

Here’s a peek at what’s inside.
