Well, we have been lucky so far this year certainly in the South, very few temporary greens so far as the Winter gets closer but the frost stays away. Last week was the first week when we were all a little preturbed that we may have to play our Monthly Medal on the temporaries but as luck would have it the weekend warmed up and we had a great Sunday morning.
I just hate the mats although we only have a few at our club when the ground is frosty and the soft studs make you two inches taller it is just a nightmare. We would be interested to know your experiences of winter golf from the Sunny Algarve to the Frosty winter competitions at your club. Where do you enjoy your golf during the winter.
November 6th, 2006 at 8:41 am I very nearly gave myself a hernia last year on the 2nd hole at my course in East Anglia. Those soft studs, the mats, I took a swing my legs just slipped away in different directions my playing mates were in hysterics but it was pretty painful the next day, I had fallen so hard that it was painful to sit. I sent a note to myself “must find somewhere warm next year.
