Read you first reply again, then have a guess why we reading it might think it's you that doesn't want to comply.

If it's a local rule and I wanted to play I would respect that but if I'm honest I probably wouldn't bother I'd rather spend the time on the practice tee. Fortunately my club is a links course and doesn't have that rule
Patricks is a links course 🤔
Yep. If you can't see the markers the course is deemed closed and they went out regardless. As I said an ex-captain in there so should have known better

Wow, Walter Mitty, you've just claimed you play at The Home of Golf in Scotland, they use mats on all courses from Nov to March.
Me thinks you speak with forked tongue!
You would be Playing off a mat on the practice ground then. As you don't appear to get that its in place as the grass simply does not grow most of the winter. They are commonly used at a lot of courses... Even links. Even the St Andrews courses are on them.
Why? It's clearly stated in diaries, on the website and all over the clubhouse saying the course is deemed close and no golf allowed if the markers aren't visible. As it happened on the day in question, and bearing in mind the first is 200 or so from the patio outside the clubhouse to the one on the 10th and it was shrouded and then some, they still chose to play. I don't see the issue. If you break clearly published rules you take the punishment handed out

They don't use winter matts where I play, also played western gailes yesterday. Guess what- no matts. Practice area - no matts. I practice at a local inland course and can use the practice area without matts either

I don't play in St.andrews, I meant Scotland in general as being the home of golf.

Grass does grow in the winter just not very much also if divots are replaced, not much problem. I am a gardener haha

I noticed your name is not down for the big Sunningdale/New Zealand meet, would you like me to put you on the reserve list?
Are they not drop to the first cut?

If im honest mate I play golf because I like the competitiveness of it. I'm not really one for social outings it's not my cup of tea. All the best with it.
