GoSports Golf Turf Mat

I don't write reviews for free anymore but I thought with this one I could alleviate some confusion. You may be shopping for a golf hitting mat and noticing wall to wall awkward pictures, poorly photoshopped images that resemble people hitting golf balls that leave you wondering how much space an actual person swinging an actual club takes up, and they're punctuated with useless reviews like "I just got one for my husband and he thinks it will work great." Well, lady, luckily you're right. The GoSports elite 5' octagonal golf hitting mat is pro quality. High class, nice feeling turf that's deep enough to bury your thumb up to the first knuckle sits on a heavy 15mm mat, and it's plenty large enough to hit all the clubs from. (In fact, I chose this one because it had an actual picture of an actual golfer holding an actual driver standing on the mat, because it was a real concern that my heels would be hanging off or something.) There's 8 holes to place the tees, one at each corner, and they're placed well to swing a driver. With shorter clubs you can hit balls comfortably almost from the center. I saw that I could have easily spent twice what I did on a hit mat and I wonder how those could possibly be better, the turf on the GoSports is genuinely lux and forgiving. I can tell when I hit a thick shot but it doesn't bury my club and suddenly stop my swing like on the affordable courses I usually play. I've hit a couple hundred balls so far with zero issues and zero signs of wear, am looking forward to using this for a few years at least if I take care of it and keep it out of the weather. A+ PS it comes folded, there's a big red sign that says "crease will disappear!" Obviously people freak out about the crease so they put a big red sign to soothe your fears, and, yes, it does disappear completely in a few days.
