NOTICE TO ALL MEMBERS<br />

The use of Fairway Mats in <strong>winter</strong><br />

The <strong>Golf</strong> <strong>Club</strong> Committee have agreed to trial use of <strong>fairway</strong> <strong>mats</strong> for the 2011/12 <strong>winter</strong><br />

golf season with the aim being to project the golf course from the damage caused by the<br />

excessive divots and to help the Greens Committee present the golf course in a better<br />

condition for the start of the 2012 golf season.<br />

Approved <strong>winter</strong> <strong>fairway</strong> <strong>mats</strong> are deemed to be one of the following sizes:<br />

30cm x 15cm (12" x 6")<br />

45cm x 15cm (18" x 6")<br />

Examples of these <strong>mats</strong> can be seen below.<br />

These <strong>fairway</strong> <strong>mats</strong> must be used throughout the <strong>winter</strong> golf season and can be used in one<br />

of the following circumstances depending on your own personal preference:<br />

Anywhere on the golf course at all times (Except the Greens & Bunkers)<br />

Anywhere on the golf course at all times (Except the Greens & Bunkers and after the<br />

Green Posts at the end of the Fairway, where a ball can be played off the Grass)<br />

Following tests of various <strong>fairway</strong>s <strong>mats</strong> by the greens chairman, we have opted to<br />

recommend the Multi-Mat version to members and visitors (See Picture 1 below) due to<br />

their versatility, durability and lower cost than the other <strong>fairway</strong> <strong>mats</strong> available.<br />

We appreciate members will have their own preference of <strong>fairway</strong> <strong>mats</strong> and providing they<br />

are within the limits of size and boundaries of fairness we are happy to accept the different<br />

versions. Anyone unsure as to the suitability of different <strong>fairway</strong> <strong>mats</strong> they wish to use<br />

should seek confirmation from Colin Boyle or myself.<br />

Members are required to Purchase or Hire a <strong>fairway</strong> mat of their choice and the Multi-Mat<br />

version will be available via Colin Boyle (<strong>Ashton</strong> GC Professional).<br />

Anyone seen to be playing on the golf course without a <strong>fairway</strong> mat during the <strong>winter</strong><br />

season will be asked to leave the golf course with immediate effect.<br />

Your co-operation in protecting the golf course during the <strong>winter</strong> season is greatly<br />

appreciated.<br />

Stephen McGee<br />

(Greens Chairman)
