Questions around Building Putting Floor

[DreamsofaGamer]

I have purchased a soft strike mat and stance mats. They are 1.5 inches thick, and I want to build a seamless putting service around these. My area is 15x15 with a concrete floor for my base. My thoughts are to either use 1 inch foam exercise mat pieces or double carpet backing for the first inch and then will use NP55 at .5 inch to meet the 1.5 inch hitting area. My 2 questions are as follows: (1) What is the best way to seal the foam or backing to the concrete?; (2) What is the best way to seal the putting turf to the foam or carpet backing? Any thoughts or suggestions would be so appreciated.

I plan to use the same mat and use Dri Core Tile (2'x2'x1") around then indoor/outdoor turf around the mat. Just a plan at this point though.

Let us know how you like the mat. It seems nice but only feedback has been from jay. It has no surroundings so my only issue is keeping it from moving
the Dricore or the rubber flooring should keep it in place

I will let you know, will continue to explore the best method to adhere the tiles to concrete and the mat should be here in a couple of weeks

Probably a stupid question but at 15 x 15, wouldn't gravity be enough?

I was thinking the same thing. That's an awfully large piece of turf. Hard to imagine it would be slipping around any. Especially if it's snug tight against the walls it won't have anywhere to go and pinned down by the screen enclosure.

Be aware that the Dri-Core tiles dimensions are not exactly as listed. It’s about 0.25” shorter and about 0.75-.8” thick.
I built my putting green (14’x12’) using these tiles on top of 1” foam insulation boards. This is the height I needed to get it close to being even with the Fiberbuilt platform.
I’ve adhered the turf to the tiles using double sided carpet tape strips but only on the edges to prevent any separation. So far so good!

Just as follow up, I didn't have to secure the foam tiles or the turf to the tiles, the weight of both were plenty and didn't require any adhesive

I'm still wondering, where do you buy the Soft Strike mat? It's hard to find online... do you buy from manufacturer, or reseller? Also, DreamsofaGamer do you have a photo, on how close it is to the surface where you launch monitor is? One last question, are any of your turf/mats made of nylon? I've been told that's not a good idea with ProTee, as nylon reflects the lights and causes misreads, instead to go with PE (PolyEthylene) turf.
