Default Hitting strip for pitch and putt

My wife is a pitch and putt fan and I kinda like them too. Uncrowded, nice greens, and good practice for where I really need it! But those tee boxes...wow they are really firm with a super short nap. Does anybody carry a little hitting strip along to make it more realistic? Or at least a little less painful? Or is this just a crazy idea. If so...is there a preferred model? Thanks

To keep it from flying very far take a short piece of fishing string and small weight tied to it.

If you look hard, there is a tee hole for right and left hitters. Some are missing or covered and hard to find. Little white rubber tapered receptacle for a tee. About 6 inches from the edge of the mat.
