Fairway mats

[Mel Smooth]

I'm loving the Spurk, put it down next to your ball (instead of sticking a tee peg in the ground), lift clean and place the ball back on the mat, and smash it off a lovely aligned lie at the target. Way better than trying to play off a wet or muddy fairway or trudging across the fair way to take a shot from the semi, although that's not a requirement at our place anyway.

Local rule last game I played was mats from anywhere except the greens. Didn't even have to find a fairway for a decent lie!

I've actually gone back to the cheapie mat from the Spurk. The only advantage for ME with the Spurk is on fat shots.....the mat doesn't give as much. Although on a day like today you would have had trouble getting a Spurk to work on the frozen ground.....everybody in our 4 ball were using cheapie mats.

Good reminder for me to position the mat with front edge aligned with where ball was so that ball on mat is no closer to hole than it’s original position.
