October 31, 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 driving range renovations at Walt Disney World’s Palm, Magnolia, Lake Buena Vista and Osprey Ridge golf courses in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. Additionally, the company completed the installation of an all-weather teaching area at Disney’s Palm course.

The project consisted of replacing the courses’ existing hitting mats with STI’s EZ Tee® hitting mats. A total of 68 EZ Tee® mats were installed at the four Disney courses. STI also utilized EZ Tee® for Palm’s all-weather teaching area. The covered area allows players to practice during hot and inclement weather.

STI’s innovative EZ Tee synthetic surface is a natural looking nylon turf designed specifically for driving range tee lines and hitting mats. EZ Tee®’s innovative composite provides the feeling of real grass. Golfers are afforded the option of either hitting off a traditional golf tee or directly off the synthetic surface, thereby allowing them to perfect a solid driver swing or fluid iron stroke. Virtually maintenance-free, EZ Tee’s ability to withstand golfers’ repeated swings permits continuous use and eliminates the need to relocate and reseed driving range areas.

Commenting on the project, STI President William Campbell stated, “We’re happy to have been chosen for this project. Walt Disney World provides some of Florida’s finest golf. It’s gratifying to know we provide a synthetic alternative that works.”
