Want to practice out of the rough? No problem! Looking for a fairway lie? Absolutely!

You can adjust the fill level and mix ratio to adjust the lie and feel. By adjusting the amount of fill, you can change the height of the turf. This allows you to determine whether or not you wish to practice fairway lies, rough lies, or somewhere in between.

Then you can take a real divot without destroying the mat or damaging your clubs. The club head sinks into the rubber /  sand mixture on your way through the ball. The correct golf shot involves striking the ball first, and creating a divot with the sole of your club after the club strikes the ball. With the typical golf mat, this isn't practical, and certainly does not feel like hitting off grass. With field turf when you hit a shot fat, you will know it, because it feel like a fat shot, sounds like a fat shot, and flies like a fat shot.

Installation

1) First position the mat where you want it to go. If you plan to set the Field Turf into existing grass, cut out a section of the turf to match the size of the mat. If you plan to install over a hard surface, simply position the mat on the hard surface. You may note the the fibers seem too large initially.

2) Next mix the entire contents of  the bag (shredded rubber) with 120 lbs of 30 mesh silica sand. You can pick this up at most lumber yards for about $10. If you can't find sand at the local building supply store, check with any masonry supply store.

To mix, simply place shovel sand and rubber into a large container or wheelbarrow, and mix the two with a shovel as you fill the container. For a softer feel use a higher rubber ratio, for a firmer feel use a higher sand ratio.

3) Next load the mixture into a garden spreader and evenly distribute about 1/4 inch of the mixture onto the Field Turf. Depending on your spreader setting, this should take 3 or 4 passes.

4) The next step involves raking the mixture down into the bottom of the turf, and fraying the fibers. Take the supplied fraying tool and vigorously scrub the Field Turf. As you scrub the mixture drops to the bottom of the turf, and the large fibers are split into smaller micro fibers.

5) Repeat steps 3 & 4. Continue to add fill 3 or 4 passes at a time. Rake and fray after 3 or 4 passes, and continue laying down fill until the entire mixture is used up, or the desired height is achieved.

Once the desired height is achieved you are done! As you practice, you will notices that repeated shots taken in the same area of the mat will move the fill around. Simply re-rake that area until the desired effect has been achieved.
