Zen Green Stage Putting Challenge

1st – 31st October 2026

Can you recreate the putt that won the Ryder Cup and become one of our weekly winners?

Your challenge is to hole Graeme McDowell’s iconic 2010 Ryder Cup winning putt. If you successfully hole the putt, you’ll be entered into that week’s prize draw for a 30-minute lesson with a PGA Professional on our new Zen Green Stage and a dozen Taylormade Golf Ball.

Attempts are based on the size of basket purchased:

  • 40 balls = 1 attempt
  • 80 balls = 2 attempts
  • 120 balls = 3 attempts

You can take on the Zen Green Stage Challenge for free with any basket of balls purchased at The Golf Academy.

Zen Golf Celtic Manor Resort

One challenge attempt is awarded for every 40 balls purchased. If multiple people share a basket of balls, the challenge attempts may only be used by one designated participant. There is no limit to the number of attempts guests can earn during each week. Successful putts qualify for entry into the weekly prize draw. Open to all Golf Academy guests during October.
