So much so that for the past four years he has been working at the Australian Open as a team leader managing its stores.
Back in January he decided to fill out an application to work at this year’s Wimbledon tournament.
Not too sure if he’d even get a response, he was pleasantly surprised to be invited to take part in an interview — over video chat.
“I had an interview with them and a couple of weeks later I found out I’d been offered a job,” Mr Putt said.
"It’s for five weeks and I’ll be working as part of the retail management team.
“That involves running the Wimbledon shops during the tournament, and managing their team.”
Mr Putt, who headed off on his adventure on Friday, June 10, said he was expecting it to be a bit different to working at the tennis in Melbourne.
“I’ve already got a few emails explaining the uniform standards, which are strict, much more strict than the Australian Open,” he said.
Mr Putt will get some time for sightseeing, despite starting work on Monday, June 13 — barely giving him enough time to get over the jet-lag.
“I get about five days off before I fly back to Australia,” he said.
“I’m looking forward to seeing Big Ben, which was under scaffolding the last time I was there.”
When asked if he would be getting an opportunity to spend some time with the Royal family he said that may be unlikely.
He did, however, say there was a good chance he’d see a few celebrities, especially tennis stars.
“They have the same rules as the Australian Open,” he said.
“You are allowed to say hi, but no photos or autographs.”
Mr Putt’s mum Lynne said she was happy for him, but had told him he was not allowed to meet an English girl and stay there.
