We bought ours from SUR-LINE turf in Alabama. the bring the material to the course and sew the covers right on top of the greens for a custom fit. They sell a couple different types of material, we went with the breathable kind (SL-500 non-woven 100% permeable geotextile @ $.99/sq yd) that can be left on for long periods of time. I think they let in 50% or more sunlight, the hold in a lot of heat, and you can even water your greens right on top of the covers no problem. The only time I wouldn't use it obviously is if you were expecting snow. The covers do not get grommets sewn on, but honestly you don't need them. the material is sewn in such a way that you can just poke a nail right through the cover and it will hold just fine without tearing. I highly recommend them, they had a crew of 3 guys come up and it only took them 2 days to sew on 19 covers. Contact Raymond Heath with Sur-Line turf if interested (205) 333-1776.
