Avoid the worst of Winter Golf with Spurk Golf’s perfect innovation
Last updated:
Spurk Golf is looking to change the way you play your golf in the winter months, thanks to their new technology that can replicate summer conditions, all year round
The difficulties with winter golf don’t need to be explained but it’s worth reminding you of them just before we fully embrace the cold season again. The mud is everywhere, the cold finds a way through every layer you’ve managed to put on, and you can barely feel your hands as they grip the club.
But you’re out there because you love this game. And why wouldn’t you, because, regardless of the conditions, a well-struck shot is still the best feeling in golf as you see it sail through the air and land within a few feet of the flagstick.
The only problem with that is how unpredictable it is to get that clean and pure strike. With the wet and cold comes the churned-up grass and the inevitable move to fairway mats. Mats that give nothing of the feeling of actual impact and never seem to truly replicate the feeling of the grass underneath.
Step forward Spurk Golf…

Back in the winter of 2017, lifelong golfers and friends Kev Shelton and Andy Sears were spending their weekends becoming increasingly frustrated by the poor quality of the traditional winter golf mats employed by their own club, as well as the clubs in the area.
They understood the point, protecting the course when the grass can’t grow is essential for enjoying the game in the summer season. But should it have to come at the cost of your winter game? One final ruined round of golf, due to yet another golf mat, was the final straw. This led to the creation of the Spurk Golf fairway mat.
The Spurk Golf mat, built by real golfers and for real golfers, features a unique, patented design, the main feature of which is six spikes meant to lock into the ground, ensuring a very stable surface during play. This creative design choice allows golfers to re-introduce confidence into their shots without seeing the mat shifting during impact, providing the closest experience you can have to truly playing off grass during the less-than-perfect months for weather.
With Spurk Golf’s fairway mats, you have two options. The first is the short pile mat. This is manufactured to replicate the tight and firm fairways most commonly associated with the linksland coastal areas, with a shorter cut to the artificial grass used.
Alternatively, if you’re more accustomed to flush parkland courses, the long pile mat will be more to your liking. This model offers a longer cut of grass to replicate the lighter, fluffy style you’ll see more inland than the sand dunes that many links are built on.
Along with either cut of mat grass, of which you’ll have a handy toggle to help hang the mat off the side of your bag with, you can buy a convenient carry case to help protect your golf bag from any mud that may have been left over from your most recent shot.
Spurk Golf also offers a money-saving bundle for both the carry bag and the mat itself.
So do yourself a favor and make sure you’re continuing to enjoy your golf throughout this winter season, instead of getting frustrated with elements outside of your control.
