In winter get a Spurk Mat....... our guys have 'piled in' for them.... can't be beaten... like playing from a beautiful, firm links fairway. Just why would you choose to play from the mud??This is just off the back of the winter scoring thread where nobody seems to struggle as much as I do.
How do you chip and pitch in winter? This seems to be what kills me the most. 50-70 yard pitching is decent in summer, but in the winter I'll catch it a fraction fat and it just completely kills the club and duffs it. Chipping around the greens as well, I seem to hit mud or knife it. 50° seems to be the worst culprit, it's a CBX with bounce and forgiveness, but in winter it's useless for me for some reason.
in' for them
Do you use less loft in winter or more? Or just the same as always? I use to think it was safer to keep it low and kind of bump it out, but then I run the risk of it not actually running far enough and stopping short of the green. Wonder if it's better to take more loft than normal and hit it harder? Or is it best to just start using my hybrid as a chipper and accept anything that's on the green as a decent shot?
Whatever I try seems to just be pot luck. I feel like I have a decent short game in summer, but it hibernates for the winter!
