Feb. 9, 2005 – From families and homeowners to businesses and athletic programs, high-performance, low-maintenance synthetic turf products are a growing consumer trend worldwide. Tens of thousands of synthetic surfaces have been installed throughout North America in the past several years.

And thanks to their Tour quality appearance, performance and skill-enhancing attributes, award-winning SofTrak synthetic putting greens are found in the backyards of professionals Fred Couples, Bruce Lietzke, Donna Andrews, Steve Flesch and thousands of “everyday” golfers worldwide.

Beside their game-improvement characteristics, SofTrak greens add resale value to homes, provide family fun centers in the comfort and convenience of private residences, and add aesthetic landscape appeal.

Furthermore, a wide spectrum of businesses has added SofTrak greens to their establishments. Bed & Breakfasts, dental practices, condo complexes and retirement communities are just some of the businesses, which have installed greens as amenities for their guests and residents. Other businesses – including national lender Freddie Mac – have added SofTrak as an employee-morale builder/amenity.

Forbes FYI recently stated that SofTrak “comes astonishingly close in texture to real grass.” There are more than 55 SofTrak dealers nationwide who are certified to design and construct SofTrak greens for residences and businesses. Sports Illustrated stated that SofTrak is “as good as it gets.”

The cost of SofTrak greens vary greatly based on size and shape, and can be financed, but is a fraction of what a real turf green costs to build and maintain. And the people, businesses and reasons are just as varied, providing a wealth of story anecdotes and human-interest hooks – from a child with Down’s Syndrome to a grandfather of nine who used his green to bring his family together.

With the addition of VersaCourt, now golfers and homeowners can have a virtual backyard entertainment center given VersaCourt’s high-performance athletic surface and flooring system.

VersaCourt Innovative Sport Surfaces is the second flagship product line for the organization. These custom designed courts, which are engineered to increase player safety, are ideal for family fun as well as organized sports activities such as basketball, volleyball, tennis, inline hockey and others.
