@jvercautren Installed one at the front of a par 3 hole this year. Turf on tees never lasted through winter play but this spring we have complete coverage as all play was from the mat during the winter season. Great decision for the health of our turf for the playing season.

Does anyone else use mats on Par 3s to start the season. We just plan to use for a month or so till the turf starts growing.

Three parks in 5 weeks. A new personal best. #LivingTheBestLife
