First of all, we need to accept that we're going to have to go up a club or two during winter.

We will all find ourselves further back on the fairway than during peak season, which means that you might need to hit a fairway wood off the deck to reach the green.

Fairway woods have been designed to be a lot easier to hit than a decade ago. Take this beauty from TaylorMade as an example, which has been engineered to launch the ball from the deck with ease.

It can be a tricky shot to play but with the right hardware and technique, we'll have you hitting greens for fun this winter.
