Golf turf is disclosed and claimed herein which simulates fairway, rough or
putting green surfaces. Golf clubs which strike the golf turf disclosed herein
do not experience the shock of typical golf mats made from Astroturf and
the like, lessening fatigue and preventing injury to the elbow and wrist. Crimped
filaments made of synthetic resinous fibers are used to make strip brushes having
flared end portions which form a homogeneous surface. Receiving slots in a substrate
retain a plurality of strip brushes spaced apart and parallel to each other. The
strip brushes are configured to simulate homogeneous surfaces which approximate
actual golf surfaces.
