anyone with an xacto knife could rip them apart.
Same could be said about rubber as well

I really like the idea of turf tee pads!!! Concrete pads work but most courses are all grass except for the tee pads. When the grass as wet it would be nice to be able to wear a shoe with a small cleat but you can't do that if there are concrete pads. Also, it says you are able to move them and that is a huge advantage over concrete.
It's not about the amount of concrete being used, its the fact that its impossible to get rid of. If you move a temporary pad the ground will recover relatively quickly. There is no getting rid of a concrete pad that isn't useable Any more. That area is basically permanently damaged.
Concrete is more vandal resistant.
I've yet to see a concrete tee stolen wet or dry.Maybe after it's cured for several hours.

Theft is a vandalism.Vandals don't steal, they (what's the word I'm looking for?) , oh yeah, vandalize.
If the concrete is poured over rebar it can be dugout and moved. If not, contact the ancient Egyptians on how to move a concrete slab without cracking or breaking it...
There's an easy solution to the vandalism issue. Just put up a sign that says, "Warning! Anyone caught vandalizing property will be subjected to watching old Jerry Lewis movies 12 hours a day for a month!"
That's a fate worse than death!
Isn't that a violation of the 8th amendment?
Theft is a vandalism.
I knew you couldn't resist. You're wrong, by definition theft is not vandalism. But I know you can't believe you would be mistaken. About anything.
theft
n. the generic term for all crimes in which a person intentionally and fraudulently takes personal property of another without permission or consent and with the intent to convert it to the taker's use (including potential sale).
Am I amazed at all of the not-invented-here comments. FWIW I've been to Finland and have played some of these courses (turf pads were perfectly fine). I am glad that there is an attempt to bring that concept to the US.
