PGA TOUR PROFESSIONAL BRAD FAXON ANNOUNCES AFFILIATION WITH SYNTHETIC TURF OF NEW ENGLAND AT THE 2007 BOSTON GOLF EXPO

---

Boston, MA., (March 2, 2007) — Fenway Sports Group and Synthetic Turf of New England (STNE) today announced the launch of PGA Tour professional Brad Faxon’s affiliation with STNE as a distributor of its award-winning putting greens. STNE is the official provider of artificial surfaces at this weekend’s Boston Golf Expo and Faxon is partnering with the company to promote their signature product.

During the 2006 PGA tour season, Faxon met with STNE co-owner Russ Maymon to determine his needs and expectations to design his ideal custom practice surface. Maymon and his team created the perfect practice putting facility that allows Faxon to sharpen his putting skills in between his demanding tour schedule.

“On the PGA Tour it is imperative to always have a strong short game,” said Faxon.
“ These greens are not only well-designed and quality-constructed, but are realistic and provide the idea putting experience for any golfing enthusiast. I have used this putting surface for over a year and I am amazed with the quality of the product.”

In addition to PGA Tour players, STNE’s products can also be found at professional golf events. In 2006, The Country Club in Brookline, MA, host of the Ryder Cup in 1999, replaced its outdated sand-filled driving range with STNE’s EZ Tee Nylon Surface. The Company’s products also extend beyond the golf business. The same materials that simulate the manicured grass of a PGA Tour quality golf course, can provide the perfect surface for playgrounds and outdoor sports fields.
