Well, I just use the oiled chests of hairy itailian guys. It works great, but you need to give them spaghetti every few runs or else the hair just gets all waxed off.
Id take a pic of that, but its tough to photograph that without awkwardness

Go to The Home Depot/Lowes/Menards/local hardware store and ask for indoor/outdoor carpet. Get the cheapest stuff, usually 40-65cents. You can get it in green, brown and sometimes blue. It will be the right stuff so don't worry about it

But is it the fake golf turf that has plastic grass blades or is it more like felt?
