  Run a paved path down the center of each fairway.

 
Gives an aiming target
Rewards a straight drive with a big distance bounce
Eliminates cart path bounces into hazards
Minimizes walks and speed play on cart-path-only days

 
Please note -   :) :) :)


I've been saying that for years.
(maybe not at Palmetto though...)

AS many of us who played the Intl in Amsterdam Belgian pavers are not the answer
"Golf is happiness. It's intoxication w/o the hangover; stimulation w/o the pills. It's price is high yet its rewards are richer. Some say its a boys pastime but it builds men. It cleanses the mind/rejuvenates the body. It is these things and many more for those of us who truly love it." M.Norman

Not yet but planning on using it on a project before summer is over...The BBB bunker people use something that I had thought might work but they told me sunlight would affect it.  Supposedly sunlight does not affect this product...
