Endorsed by three-time major winner Vijay Singh and recognized as the preferred practice surface of the NCAA No.1 ranked University of Georgia men’s golf team, THE Golf Mat was developed based on feedback from leading teaching professionals, college coaches and top-flight amateurs. It utilizes a patented high-tech composite spring embedded below fairway-length turf to produce the first "true grass" alternative. Encouraging a proper "down and through" swing motion that facilitates ideal trajectory, maximum control and lower scores, this patented technology mitigates the likelihood of wrist, elbow and other common injuries.
Portable and requiring no installation, THE Golf Mat is designed to make practice easier and more convenient. Perfect for backyards or ranges, it features a distinctive, adjustable tee that allows golfers to position the ball according to personal preferences.
THE Golf Mat practice system is available in a variety of pricing packages starting at $199 for consumers and $170 for facilities ordering in bulk. Its typical life-span is more than 200,000 swings, far exceeding that of traditional mats.
The practice surface of choice at numerous high-profile colleges and universities, THE Golf Mat is used at prestigious facilities nationwide that recognize the potential to increase revenues by encouraging longer and more frequent practice sessions. These include Ansley Golf Club at Settindown Creek (GA), Black Diamond Ranch (FL), Charter Oaks Country Club (MA), Coyote Ridge Golf Club (TX), Harvey Penick Golf Academy (TX), Muirfield Village Golf Club (OH), Pilgrim’s Run Golf Course (MI) and the University of Notre Dame (IN). This system is sold at better pro shops and golf-specific retailers nationwide, including all Golfsmith locations, as well as online at THE Golf Mat website.
