What are Browns?
In locations where there is not enough water to
support grass greens, browns are often used as a
substitute. Browns are a mix of oil and sand.
Depending on the consistency and the thickness the
surface can be slow or very fast. On a slow surface,
you can stop the ball very quickly so you can fly the
ball very near to the hole. On a fast surface, you have
to play a bump and run as the ball will not stop.

Why use Mats?
In locations where there is not enough water to
support grass grass fairways, mats are often used to
give the player a good playing surface for approach
shots t the brown. At Bisharat, you can use mats on on
the fairways which are marked by white stones. See the
Local Rules for more information on how to take
relief with a mat.
