Premier Golf Instructor Converts Bedroom into Putting Course

Lake Nona, Florida

April 18, 2007, Jupiter, FL—Synthetic Turf International (“STI”), a global synthetic turf supplier and installer of premium synthetic putting greens and related synthetic surfaces, recently completed the installation of an indoor synthetic putting green at the Lake Nona, Florida, residence of the world’s leading golf instructor, David Leadbetter.

            The project, completed using STI’s exclusive nylon NP 50 putting surface, consisted of converting a 350 square foot bedroom on the second floor of the Leadbetter estate into a unique putting green.  There are five cups throughout the green, providing the opportunity for constant challenge and improvement.
