Camron Howell, co-owner of PuttTek, searched for a company that could install a personal putting course to practice his short game from home. He wanted a nine hole course so that he could play over and over again. After receiving multiple replies that there isn\u2019t anyone who could do what he wanted, he decided to take matters into his own hands.<\/p> <p>\u201cDesign and creativity has been something I\u2019ve always been good at,\u201d Howell said. \u201cI designed my course, picked out the turf, and hired a crew to install it.\u201d Howell used the same typography found on the traditional golf course. The course used a few different turf products \u2013 Everlast Nylon Putt 2-Tone, Everlast Poly Putt 2-Tone and TigerTurf Pet Turf found through\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/syntheticgrasswarehouse.com\/\">Synthetic Grass Warehouse<\/a>\u00a0to achieve the desired look. This allowed for a different type of effect for the fairway, fringe and putting green.\u00a0The crew had been so impressed by the outcome of the project, that they suggested Howell create his own business so that artificial grass companies could partner up and promote this type of installation.<\/p> <p>Howell took their advice, and now PuttTek partners up with professional landscapers and design firms throughout the Southwest\u00a0to integrate a customized PuttTek putting course into an overall landscape package.<\/p> <p>Howell says that friends ask to come play all the time, which is just fine with him. \u201cIt\u2019s fun for all ages,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s safe and it really is a work of art.\u201d Howell believes that it\u2019s the scoring component that makes his courses so popular. \u201cIt\u2019s the same reason why people enjoy cornhole, billiards and ping pong,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s just another form of friendly competition.\u201d<\/p> <p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sgwflorida.com\/orlando\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/02\/SGWWebsite-IOTM.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"300\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3691\" \/><\/p> <div class=\"fusion-button-wrapper\"><a class=\"fusion-button button-flat fusion-button-default-size button-custom fusion-button-default button-1 fusion-button-span-no fusion-has-button-gradient special_anim-btn\" style=\"--button_accent_color:#000000;--button_accent_hover_color:#ffffff;--button_border_hover_color:#000000;--button_border_width-top:1px;--button_border_width-right:1px;--button_border_width-bottom:1px;--button_border_width-left:1px;--button_gradient_top_color:rgba(255,255,255,0);--button_gradient_bottom_color:rgba(255,255,255,0);--button_gradient_top_color_hover:rgba(255,255,255,0);--button_gradient_bottom_color_hover:rgba(0,0,0,0);--button_text_transform:uppercase;--button_font_size:20px;--button_padding-top:16px;--button_padding-right:30px;--button_padding-bottom:16px;--button_padding-left:30px;--button_margin-top:30px;--button_margin-right:12px;\" target=\"_self\" href=\"http:\/\/syntheticgrasswarehouse.com\/company\/blog\/install-of-the-month\/install-of-the-month-photo-submission\/\"><span class=\"fusion-button-icon-divider button-icon-divider-left\"><i class=\"fa-angle-double-right fas awb-button__icon awb-button__icon--default\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"fusion-button-text awb-button__text awb-button__text--default fusion-button-text-left\">Submit Your Photos<\/span><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What started as a personal pursuit of passion has turned  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":24966,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24963","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-install-of-the-month"],"acf":{"ask_jw_page_link":"","global_photo_sets":"","section_1":{"header":"","textblock":""},"section_2":{"textblock":""},"section_3":{"header":"","textblock":""},"section_4":{"textblock":""},"section_5":{"header":"","textblock":""},"warranty":{"textblock":""},"section_6":{"header":"","textblock":""},"video_link":"","transcript":"","video_link_proof":"","transcript_proof":""},"origin_id":"","yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Congratulations, PuttTek!
