A 'sweet' tip for winter mats

[ArnoldArmChewer]

If your winter mats are not receptive to tee pegs, try using a polo mint as your tee, I have been doing this for a couple of years now, the sugar free ones work best :thup:

Any other top tips for winter play ?

The fruit ones are better as you can colour custom fit them to your outfit....

Unless you’re a member of a links course then I’d imagine most inland course will be off mats . The two resort courses around my area that try to keep the course fully open as much as possible aren’t up to the greatest condition the
y should be come the summer months due to the overuse in the winter .

They are sticky as well so stay in place.

I don’t think i have ever seen an inland course of mats - the only courses I see where you have to use mats are links courses which then makes a bit of a mockery of the “links giving golf 365 days a year”

We only have mats on our par 3's, to protect the tee's from the divots us good golfers take

We use mats when it gets very wet, just to protect the fairways.
We’re very inland.

Every course I’ve been a member of up here it’s been off mats come Nov 1st or play from the rough . I’m about 30 mile from the decent courses of the coast which are more payable over the winter .

Thinking about it I have never played off a mat apart from a links course. Can’t imagine mats on a heathland course, and even wet parkland courses dont seem to have then down here.

I used to play on a course which made us tee the ball up in winter when on the fairway. But most of us just tee’d it low and still took divots.

I need two drivers to a lot of our par fours, so I like that idea. :thup:

whats next? teeing your driver up with a rolo? 😁

It did help some players on par 5’s as well, made them reachable for the first time.

Similar shape to those winter tees that you get attached by string

 

[ScienceBoy]

Guys guys guys... we all know the solution here

That's for a 3 wood
Use a Walnut Whip for the driver but take the walnut off first..

Must be some cracking scores if playing off tees, perfect lie every time you on the fairway
