A tip from James on winter mats

I often hear golfers telling me that they don't like coming off the grass and having to go onto a mat. However, here are three ways that you can use mats to your advantage:

  1. Use it as an alignment tool. Point the mat at your proposed target, align your club face square to the target then your feet, knees, hips and shoulders run parallel with the mat and you will have perfect alignment.
  2. The surface is the same so look at it as a perfect lie every time.
  3. Players often complain that they hit the mat before the ball. The mat is raised off the ground so therefore the ball is above your feet. To recreate a flat lie and a clean shot, come down the grip a bit.

Play well!
