Winter tees

[Fish]

All 6 of our par 3's have a range mat dumped on the normal teeing ground...the idea is to protect the main tee area. But you still have to walk over the tee box to get to it so, although it stops the divots, it doesn't really protect the tee. There is plenty of room either side or just in front to prepare an area to have the mat on but this simple action seems to be beyond the club even tho GH it has been suggested numerous times.
All other holes we play off the normal tee except 1 par 4 where, to protect the teebox, there is a mat - dumped on the far side of the tee............

If the mat is "dumped" on the normal teeing ground, isn't everything underneath dying?

Have to say it all seems very slap-dash and amateurish

I assume some of these creative winter tee 'solutions' are in use at members clubs where you pay annual subscriptions!

I'd accept similar when playing a PAYG muni but pretty sure I'd be questioning some of the offerings on this thread, after all its not as if the club didn't know that there's a winter

Err yes, they do move it about a bit, but you do end up with a patchwork of compacted yellow squares
Nice !!
