Muddy grounds can ruin the best of swings, making it almost impossible to keep your ball on track. Dreaded fairway mats often become a golfer’s necessity, yet they tend to feel more like an annoying obstacle than an aid. Oftentimes, hitting off these mats can lead to more mishits, leaving players frustrated and yearning for the feel of grass beneath their feet.
Enter Spurk Golf
