Putt (magazine)

Putt was a British golf magazine created by Greg Stogdon in May 2001 as a college project while studying at Central Saint Martins, and produced by Tank Publications. Designed as a parody of sport magazines at the time, Putt was intended to reach a market in the changing demographic in golf: young, urban, media-savvy creatives.
