    Use max metal instead. You can run that through a corner rounder. The problem with alumalite and golf courses is they will be all dented in the first week from getting hit
    with golf balls. Max Metal will hold up WAY better...been there done that!

    Use the Inside of a roll of masking tape to draw your radius and then hit it with a belt sander.
