Clubs and PGA Professional testimonials
“We have now introduced the Smart Mat at Royal Troon Golf Club for winter play and the feedback from members is extremely positive: “Best winter mat I have ever used”;”Feels great to play off”; “Very handy to slip in to the pocket between shots”; “I hit my iron shots further than usual in the winter” are some of the comments we have had. We feel it is a great product at a very reasonable price and it is the best winter mat we have used.”
Kieron Stevenson, Head Pro Royal Troon Golf Club
Royal Troon utilised the Smart Mat exclusively to protect the course prior to the 2016 British OPEN Championship
“I am pleased to tell you that the Smart Mats are selling at a fantastic rate! Please could you begin count down as quickly as possible and blast off another box of 50 sets in my direction”
“Andrew Myers, Class AA PGA Pro, Reddish Vale Golf Club” He sold out in less than a week!
“We doubted to use the Smart Mat on our course. As the weather forecast isn’t as in Spain we were obligated to close the course more than we wanted. This was the most important reason to use the Smart Mat. Last winter we could open the course much more due to the Smart Mat. In the beginning of the season, the fairways looked amazing and this lasted the whole season. There are a lot of people who were sceptical in advance, but afterwards they changed their thoughts. This should be used in every golf club in Belgium and we hope a lot will follow!”
Manager Waregem Golf, Frank Salembier (hcp 3.1)
“Thank you for the prompt delivery of 50 Smart Mats, it’s right not to call them just mats! 5 days in and I only have 3 left, enough said. Send another 50 ASAP”
Nick Ryan, PGA Pro, Ringway Golf Club
“Hi divotEND, had a successful first weekend on mats and the Smart Mat went down very well. Of the 50 sets I ordered I only have 15 left and could do with another box ASAP please”.
Carl PGA Pro, Mellor and Townscliffe Golf Club
“The 2012/13 winter season was the first time our club used the Smart Mats. They proved to be a great success in the protection of the course with a huge reduction in the number of divots and most of our members found them great to play off, especially when the ground was wet and mucky. There is also the added benefit that we make a few £ pounds from the sales. We will be stocking them again this winter.”
Peter Hanna PGA Pro, Lurgan Golf Club
“First of all I was sceptical about the use of winter mats. But after testing the Smart Mat I’m convinced that this is a big improvement for the course in winter time. It enables me to strike the ball as well as on a normal summer fairway. Don’t be afraid to hit down on a ball like a normal summer shot. It is a perfect winter exercise/drill to keep your swing in shape for the summer. And of course it helps the sustainability of the course during the winter time.”
