Hi Slater mate,

I have the same problem with my club as they expect you to play of mats which I hate. I approached the club secratery with my mate to see about if I could play from the side in the rough. He had no objection about this so long as I replaced my divot. They changed to only using mats was because the green keepers were spending a lot of money on repairing the fairways in winter times.

Cheers
Mark
p.s you still up for the comp in may 2007?
