Wichita, Kan. ? United Turf Industries (?UTI?) ? developer of SofTrak Putting Greens the high-performance synthetic turf that closely simulates the look and feel of natural turf for residential and commercial use ? announced it will donate the design and construction of a SofTrak Putting Greens complex to the winning school at the conclusion of this year?s Division I National Championship May 28-31 at Karsten Creek in Stillwater, Okla.

The SofTrak donation is a joint effort between UTI and the Golf Coaches Asssociation of America (GCAA), a non-profit organization and professional association serving more than men?s college golf coaches and their student-athletes in the United States.

?We believe SofTrak is a perfect fit with Division I programs, home to some of the finest golfers in the country,? says Brian Foster, UTI Director of Operations. ?Our high-performance synthetic surfaces are increasingly meeting the needs of the finest golfers in the world.?

Fred Couples, Steve Flesch, Bruce Lietzke, Donna Andrews, and T.C. Chen are an example of the level player choosing SofTrak.
