It has come to my knowledge that some ladies are unsure of the rules governing the use of fairway mats during winter play.
Please note that fairway mats are to be used only on the fairway.
During competition golf, if your ball has gone into the rough, you must play it as it lies.
Balls may not be lifted from the fairway to the rough.
If you elect to putt your ball from off the green, you have the choice of whether to use a mat or not.
I hope this clarifies the Rules.
