You may think that Golf coaches up and down the country will be purposefully promoting their tuition services in the light of Bubba Watson's US Masters victory, as the likeable left-hander has famously never taken a lesson.

It would seem the opposite would be true however as Bubba is seen as a phenomenon, breaking all laws of golf possibility, biomechanics and even the odd law of physics on his way to breaking records.

Even his caddy remarked as they came off the 18th tee 'Are you from Mars?, I can't believe some of the shots you hit!'

What is remarkable in Bubba's case is that he's steadily improved over the past decade, whereas most golfers going down the 'trial and error route' would wrap themselves up in knots, or simply avoid playing the shots they struggle with.

Perhaps that is Bubba's finest testament, that there aren't any shots that he can't hit and certainly none that he wouldn't attempt to hit.

Course management is such a huge element of any golfers scoring ability and Augusta's famous quick, sloping greens were always going to be a tough test.

The action was all on the front nine in the final round and the par 5 second hole showed how course management plays it part on the greens too.

Rickie Fowler had an 8 foot birdie putt which lipped out and rolled nearly as far past. After the next putt also lipped out he eventually holed out from 6 feet for a costly 3 putt and a bogey to drop away from the leaders.

Shortly after on the 5th, Jordan Speith trundled a downhill putt in for birdie which took an age to reach the cup and just toppled in on its last roll. Seconds later, Bubba holed a 3 foot putt in the same direction but this time the ball went in at considerable pace. So who was right?

Should Rickie Fowler have played the ball at Jordan's pace, guaranteeing a 2 putt and keeping the momentum going? Did Jordan's putt have more chance of meandering offline at such a delicate pace compared to hitting it more firmly? And what if Bubba's 3 foot putt had missed and run 10 feet past?

The faster the ball is travelling as it reaches the hole, the smaller the hole effectively becomes, but minimum pace putting requires supreme touch and green reading skills. Two-time Masters champion Ben Crenshaw is still a brilliant putter and has always favoured letting the ball die into the hole on its last roll.

Ultimately, you have to decide what strategy (and when) is right for you.

If a golfer like Bubba is prepared to drive right around the corner on the tight 13th, then it's not inconceivable that he's going to want to fire his short putts home at pace.

This coming Bank Holiday weekend, we have two pros competitions. On Saturday we are hosting a pros fiddle, Better Ball stableford, 3/4 handicap, white/red tees, no priority on the tee, £8 per pair entry including twos.

The Bank Holiday competition on Monday will also be the same format and run from the pro shop. If you need fixing up, please let us know in the shop with as much notice as possible and leave the time you wish to play and a phone number.

I reported a couple of weeks ago how we'd been sorting Mike Dewsbury's clubs prior to his trip to play in the Cornish Festival. He had a great week, partnering Paul Broadhurst and finished second overall. At Trevose, Mike hit every green in regulation and shot 5 under par, only bettered by his playing partner with a putt to go 6 under par on the last. The field included many Ryder Cup players and seasoned tour pros so he had a great week.

Clubs being built in the workshop this week:

• Miura 501 iron set, Project PXi shafts.
• Miura tournament blade, KBS shafts.
• Miura MB001 blades, KBS shafts.
