Tell them they're putting on an antique.
The plywood base that ours came with finally rotted. The basket is in storage, until we have time to build a new base....though we're threatening it with cutting off the pole below the basket and making a hanging basket out of it.
(My brother and I have a private course with a couple dozen real baskets, so the tri-state was strictly an extra putting target).
When we bought the Tri-State in the mid-90s, we were the only people we knew who owned our own basket. As we built our course a decade later, we actually used it as we built holes; it had the virtue of being highly visible, with the yellow plastic chains.
