Me again bud,
Look at 'my photos'
I used Gray PVC, (1 5/8" OD, 1 1/4" ID)
You might be able to use golf club plastic tubes. They have a small, rolled, shoulder on the top edge. Just glue or epoxy them in.

Most of the hardware stores have plastic grommets for use on computer desks that work well when putting holes through carpeted surfaces. The come in various sizes and colors and most also have covers available when not in use. They are not expensive and available almost anywhere.
