carrying your own wee mat to play off is the devils work and should be avoided at all costs or your handicap will double next season.....well known and proven fact

If everyone drops from the fairway into the rough, come March/April, if per chance you miss a fairway by a yard or so, more than likely you will be in a divot . Which has been made by someone who hits the same FORUM distance as you.
Couldnt agree more, we've just introduced the multi mat at our place, but the membership have to buy one as the club are skint, you still have the option to lift off the fairway and place in the rough if you don't have a mat. Hopefully see the benefits to the fairways and semi rough at the start of the season.

Can you use an off cut of Axminster from Carpetright?
Seriously, do the clubs do a summer only membership so you don't have to bother with the mat/ dropping in the rough debacle?

You can use any old thing you want lol, but the club would prefer you bought the multi mat. Just an ongoing issue up here with the weather Oct-March if the course is not a links. Regarding your idea of summer only membership, i think most club would struggle to stay afloat as you'd have a large membership in summer and no income in winter, just keeps you playing on dryish ground if you use the mat.

I know your fees are low up there, but this would be yet another reason to head for the coast for a second club.
Can understand why it's done (mats not dropping in the rough) but the clubs are denying you the pleasure of splattering yourself in mud as you fat one from the middle of a soggy fairway!!
The good thing is quite a few links courses offer winter membership for a couple of hundred, by far the best solution.

Robobum/CMAC,
Actually a few of our early morning group are looking at a links course not very far away currently offering winter membership, looks attractive only day you cant play is a Saturday, watch this space.

Ok, I know I've had 3 glasses of red wine, but this is a wind up surely?
In 30 years of playing golf I have never ever heard of taking a green ladies' sanitary towel out onto the course and playing every shot from it !!??
Every shot you play you are improving your lie, so presumably all your competitions are void because everyone gets disqualified ?!
Apologies if I've been taken iron the biggest wind up of the year on here

You improve your lie in winter with pick and place as well - no comps are void then with disqualifications
In Cyprus on the old military courses the fairway is sparse so people played of a little bit of AstroTurf.
