Rubber Tee Pads For Pye Brook

[Bill Stewart]

I was looking under some rocks and found a bunch of money for course improvement. I think it is time Pye Brook stepped it up and installed Rubber Fly Pads. All I was able to find was Fly 18 online. Anyone have suggestions on 1) Where to buy 2) installation 3) Is it prohibitively expensive to have pads cut to size for tee boxes that are already in place (about 6 of our holes)?

Would love to hear from someone who has installed them successfully (and I'm not talking about those [bleep] rubber kitchen mats like up at Terrace Pines in Ossippee, NH, but real sweet tee boxes with rubber pads like Cranbury or FDR.

Help! and Thank you,

Stew

i flipped through some threads on other pages and found this link:

(the rolled rubber section looked to be the most promising?)

they seem to sell every known kind of rubber mat out there- and i don't imagine cutting the stuff would be too hard either. there might be someone from the borderland crew that knows a bit more as well- their mats are well maintained even with all that swamp action they get.

either way i'm willing to help with labor and install- and i've got a few local friends who'd probably help too. it'd be sweet to do away with some of the oft-returning foot divits!

by the way, which rocks were those you looked under???!

another idea i just encountered- it might be better to try out at pulpit or on just a couple holes if at all- but here it is: carpet- upside down. don't know anything about it except for what i saw for three seconds in this video

annoying music, funny almost ace, but the upside down carpet is in the first minute. there are people tossing carpet remnants all the time, so it'd be a free experiment-

don't know- think about it though-

Carpet comes apart with weather and wear....... works good as a cover for gravel tees to protect from snow. Just pull off and the snow comes right with it. Then shake off and replace.

The season is starting to show its face with some snow melting, so i was wondering if there was any new info on tee pads for pye? How about tees signs?
