From the Clubhouse: Do we actually enjoy playing winter golf?

On this week’s From the Clubhouse, a podcast from National Club Golfer, Steve Carroll and Tom Irwin get stuck into winter golf.

Do we really enjoy it, what are the benefits of teeing it up when the weather gets colder and the days get shorter, and what is our ideal winter’s day out on the course?

Tom and Steve also dive into mats, temporary greens, and winter competitions before answering a winter rules question that might surprise most of you.
