The
34-year-old has now replaced the natural grass on which Montgomerie used to
practice his putting with artificial turf.
it is believed Terry spent £150,000 installing the AstroTurf, similar to that used on all-weather football pitches around the country.
But rather
than undertaking the changes to give himself somewhere to play football, it is
believed veteran defender made the alterations so that neither he nor a
groundsman will have to spend time mowing the lawn.

The conversion is just one of number of changes Terry has
made to his new home after moving in last year. it mirrors changes he made at
his previous mansion, which also had AstroTurf instead of natural grass.
His agent told The Sun: 'John's revamped the whole place.
It's not just the Astroturf.'
Terry, who earns an estimated £170,000-a-week, reportedly
made a £10million profit by selling his former home to General Sultan bin
Mohammed al-Naamani, a senior minister in Oman, for £16million. It is believed
the mansion was bought for Omani royal Sultan Qaboos bin Said.
Terry, along
with his wife Toni and twin children, moved into Montgomerie's old home, which
is less than a mile away from his former sprawling mansion, late last year.
It is considerably smaller than his previous houses, all of
which are located just a short drive from Chelsea's training ground in Cobham.
As well as installing AstroTurf at his previous home, he
built a huge fishing lake where he could indulge his love of angling.
But the move caused anger among neighbours, who complained
to the local council about the development on the green belt site, which one
called 'the thin end of the wedge'.
He also had a 33 x 40ft indoor swimming pool, jacuzzi and
steam room built with his former home.
The new property is said to be considerably smaller, but
still has seven bedrooms and is situated in a half-acre estate.
