Construction adhesive and caulk in tubes are outstanding for this usage.  You can spread the adhesive with a broad knife or roller, or put the grass mat down and use the roller after.  Just be sure to get your adhesive all of the way to the edges and use only plastic-compatible materials.

Personally I just unrolled the mat letting hang over the sides and stapled it to the wood frame underneath.  Don't try to get out all the wrinkles the real world is never completly flat and you'll rip the mat trying.
