No distractions, just you, your putter, and the feel of the stroke. But how often do you get to experience that during a busy week? If you&#8217;re like most of us, the answer is <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">not enough<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s why more Kiwis are turning their backyards into personal putting paradises. With modern <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/tigerturf.com\/nz\/\"><b>synthetic turf<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> options, you don\u2019t need acres of land or club-level groundskeeping.
