sooner use a mat than having to tee up on the fairway,i love watching the old duffers at my club and the add ons they have on their mats,from reversing the mat so the shiny side is up and placing their ball on the raised plastic knobs on the back or bending one corner so it is like a tee and placing the ball on top,or having a plastic tee in the matt then hitting a 3 wood into the green from over 200 yds and then saying "got hold of that one well!!!!" with a sly smirk.

Will pick and place, it helps the course too, and I see no point in playing the ball if it has a tumor sized lump of mud attached.

I don't bother picking and placing, unless the ball is very very muddy. I know some people who do it every shot (when allowed). I just don't see the point. Can't do it in the summer, so don't do it in the winter

Sure Am, my course always allows it in bad weather

At the old place (up North!) It was a necessity to clean and place on every shot - new place (dahn sahf) looks like it'll just be the odd shot that needs it!
And give away an advantage to everyone else?
The rule is that you can prefer your lie, why not? when the weather starts getting drier again , it doesnt happen in a day so you will get used to normal conditions naturally.
Yes I do pick and place but never use the putter line for shot alignment, is it even allowed???
I have no shame and pick and place every time I hit a fairway. Ideal to give you a chance to hit the long par 4's or make a good contact with a mid-iron to lay up into ideal position on the par 5's

The game is tough enough rules are there to ensure fair play for all. Good shots shouldn't be penalised by a muddy ball benefit of hitting those fairways.
