January 23, 2008, Jupiter, FL— Synthetic Turf International (STI), a global synthetic turf supplier and installer of premium synthetic putting greens and related synthetic surfaces, will participate in Golfweek’s upcoming Golfest. Billed as the country’s largest outdoor golf lifestyle event, Golfest takes place January 25th and 26th at The Villages Golf & Country Club’s Polo Fields. For the second year in a row STI will participate in the event in conjunction with Central Florida distributor, Shamrock Outdoor Greens.

In addition to featuring the latest golf equipment and technology from leading manufacturers, Golfest offers club fitting, golf clinics, celebrity appearances, entertainment and contests. Health, wellness and fitness experts will also on hand to provide golf lifestyle tips and techniques. Shamrock Outdoor Greens’ 1,200 square foot putting green, complete with landscaping and waterfalls, will provide attendees the opportunity to hone their putting skills. Constructed of STI’s exclusive nylon NP50® putting surface, the putting course features a unique layout created to produce the same subtleties and character as a traditional golf course. Designed to match a natural putting green’s roll of 10 or 11 on the Stimpmeter, STI’s synthetic putting green allows players to develop their touch and technique through true roll characteristics found in select professional greens. The tour-quality synthetic surface “holds” the ball, enabling consistent putts with a true roll from every position on the green. Additional exhibitors include representatives in real estate and the travel industry.

"We’re thrilled to be a part of Golfest,” stated STI President William Campbell. “This is Florida’s largest outdoor golf event. There is something for everyone. Having experienced Golfest first-hand last year, we speak from experience. The true golf enthusiast won’t go home empty-handed.” Golfest hours are Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
