2. Is the weed control cloth necessary?
Absolutely. Using the weed control cloth not only keeps the panels free of debris during installation but also helps insure the panels will move freely during normal expansion and contraction, and help create a more stable ground surface.

3. Why must the panels be assembled in accordance with the custom installation guide?
We have created the exact methodology for proper installation, taking in consideration variations in panel sizes due to manufacturing tolerances as well as expansion and contraction.  Following our procedures insures consistent green size throughout the life of the green.

4. How much time can I save using Tour Links?
Many installers report that a Tour Links installation is 2/3 faster than a typical stone-based installation.

5.What if I do not want a flat green?
You dont have to have one.  This is the biggest advantage of the Tour Links Contour System. Build a green on a bowling alley and the green will be dead flat, but place the panels on a contoured area and they will follow the terrain creating a green that will replicate nearly anything found on a golf course. Thats Tour Links!

6. Do I need to dig out the ground underneath the panels prior to installation?
Absolutely not. In fact, we discourage it. By building on top of the ground, the green becomes the high point of the terrain allowing great water drainage. This technique also eliminates any ill effects from frost heave. Once the installation is finished simply build a gradual tapered berm up to the 2-inch height of the panels creating the look of a built-in green.  Nobody will ever be able to tell the panels are actually above ground.

7. Will water flow through the panels?
The fact that the panels are above ground insures that water will pass through the assembled panels very quickly.

8. How do I create a contour indoors?
Styrofoam in the Tour Links system will allow you to create the most realistic indoor or outdoor contours imaginable in no time at all.  Another A+ for Tour Links!

9. Are the panels hard to cut if I am creating a custom shape?
No.  A jigsaw and a 4-inch course cutting wood blade make easy work of it.

10. What are the limitations of the Tour Links system?
The only limitation is your imagination.
