They place green mats on the hitting areas of the par threes during practice rounds
Well this is just flat out incorrect. They lay down mesh on the areas they will use for the tournament so the players can't use that spot, but they use the teeing grass on the teeing ground on practice days.
Starts at the 24 second mark

This is right - they still hit off grass but the tees they will be playing from are meshed off.
I went in 2015 and caught Tiger, Crenshaw and Spieth on the back.
As someone already mentioned, get there extremely early. The gates may say they open at 7 am but the year I went they were open before day break. We did all our shopping before 7am and checked it all - it was a great treat for showing up early. We then went to the range (this could be a good indication of who is about to tee off). When Tiger comes out to hit balls there will be a lot of buzz and people will be asking where he is teeing off and most will speculate the back 9. I remember asking an ESPN camera man and he said Tiger typically plays the back, so they expected him there but even they weren't sure it seemed.
Just enjoy the day - soak it all in. The Par 3 contest didn't really do anything for me. Spend as much time as humanely possible on the main course.

That’s what he said. Just replace mats with mesh. He never said they hit off the mats.
