The wife and I have just started playing golf and being we live in Minnesota, we can only use the indoor driving ranges.
The one we go to has a strip of artifical turf that's about 1 foot wide and 3 foot long, its made about twice the thickness of all the other mats we've seen.
This stuff works great for practicing chip shots and we would like to get some for home use.
Haven't had much luck at the local golf shops, or on-line, and the guy at the indoor range we go to isn't sure where it came from (he's not owner), can any of you help?

Thanks for your time.

Welcome to the sand trap! How much do you want to spend? There are a few good options and I'll try to list them from very expensive to cheap. That's a short list from some good manufactureres, and should help you get started. Hope that helps

Thanks for the suggestions, lots to choose from.
Just found out there's a Golf show going on this weekend, so I can also swing by that and look.

Thanks all,
Al

    • Day 26, May 30.  24 practice balls today;  dozen with the 6-iron, slow and usual full swing.   Because I wasn't super happy with my quarter and half swings yesterday, I also hit six of each with my UW.  What I didn't practice was a high shot that doesn't travel very far (no, I don't mean popping up a drive), and maybe that's something I need to figure out how to hit (probably would be outdoors, not inside).  Today's practice was, as many of mine are, indoors, off a mat, into a net, real balls. 
    • Day 270 5-30 Lower arm more infront, not so stuck to side. Getting chest through with some speed. 
    • A nice consistent road is just as satisfying as a round with a few outstanding shots. nice round.  
    • Foundation Session #2  
    • I shot an 85 yesterday without any shots that really stood out as spectacular to me.  On the first nine, the highest SG shots that didn't originate on a tee were a 22 yard chip from the rough to 6' and sinking a 10' putt (not the same hole).   On the second nine, driver 4-hybrid to 17' on a 421 yard par-4 was pretty cool.  Sinking a 15' putt for par on the 420-yard par-4 15th was my largest SG of the day (0.98 vs 10 hcp), and that one goes on my acting resume because when it went in, I acted like I wasn't surprised I made the putt.   I'm a lot happier with that round than this post indicates.  It shows I can play to a pretty good score (a 10-11 handicap shooting 85 on a 70.9 / 125 / 6400 yard is a good performance I think) without having to work miracles.
