I understand what he's saying in winter means they can all carry it in summer they can't so again refers to preferring the setup that favours him and gives him advantage.What he is saying is that in summer you need a 200 yard carry to clear the ravine, in winter the tee's are further forward and therefore may only need 100 yard carry (obviously I am guessing as I have no idea of his course setup). Regarding the fairway, It is preferred lies in most places anyway so if you are in the rough then you just put it on a nice bit of grass and you'll be fine. I dont find the rough punishing at all in winter as it is normally cut down anyway.
It still comes down to accuracy and short game which the lower guy should win at every time in Matchplay and generally stroke play. Stableford will always favour the higher guy even in summer imo.
