Here’s a few of the things we finished off this week.
First, we ended up with some pretty sick trophies for Wykagyl Country Club. They have one of the most elaborate logos we’ve ever dealt with, and they helped us come up with a unique 3D presentation of it.
Another tournament accessory is this sign for Greenwich Country Club. It has stakes to secure it into the ground. The top swivels like a music stand, and the plexiglass protects two sheets of paper – one to announce tournament pairings, and the other to list starting hole assignments. This is a great looking accessory that should help speed up pre-tournament setup.
Here’s a couple sets of tee markers. One with the fishscaled aluminum look for Sandia Golf Club, and a set that just came off the waterjet for the Philadelphia PGA.
Finally, we have this unique range yardage sign for the Vintage Club. They provided a map of their practice range and we created this multi-layered ‘map’ of it. The greens are coated in chalkboard paint, and they will be able to record the day’s yardages at each location. The backside has a plexiglass protection for them to insert poster-sized announcements and banners.
Sorry, it’s been a couple weeks since my last post. As everyone gears up for the start of the golf season (at least up North!), we’ve been swamped. Here are a few pictures of some of the things we’ve been working on.
Here are several different proximity markers at several different price points. The brushed aluminum cards look great and save you money. The custom raised logos are a great upgrade. The one for Roaring Forks is one of my favorites we’ve done yet.
Then we’ve had a couple sets of miniflags. One is for a corporate sponsorship for a charity event. What a great way to advertise for your sponsors!
We’ve also had a couple sets of custom tournament-specific tee markers. Both Framingham CC and San Luis Obispo asked for tee markers to help make their event memorable.
Finally, I know I posted some photos of the sample trophy we built for the River Club, but the finished items were completed yesterday. Jason added some bark texture to the bases, that – along with the handpainting- make these truly unique gifts.
Just wanted to show a few pictures of some of the things going out the door this week…
First up, we finished a pile of trophies for Anthem’s Member Guest – The Duel in the Desert. These have a new ‘wrap’ design we’ve done, and then the top plate is hand painted. The two champion trophies have hand-sculpted and hand painted cactuses, also. The copper color on these, is one of my favorites. These turned out amazing!
Doral Resort saw some of the sample ‘casino’ style tee markers we did, and decided they’d be perfect for a tournament event they were hosting. Here are the brushed aluminum tournament set we are doing for them.
Eagle Springs needed a few more of their tee markers. These are still one of my favorites.
We did this great hanging sign for the Golf Shop at Huntingdon Valley, what a unique logo!
We also built a couple of these A-frame style signs for Royal Oaks. They have a set of numbers that slides into the sleeve, so the Pro can indicate what time the range is closing today. These are double-sided so they can easily be seen from any angle.
Finally, we had a set of proximity markers for Kennett Square. They went with the brushed aluminum cards, which is a great look, and saves money over the powdercoated version.
Have a great weekend!
These turned out so cool, I just had to put them up. These are some hand-painted, hand-sculpted trophies for the Wyatt Earp Open at Black Rock. It’s their Member-Guest, and they give out some amazing gifts/prizes. These are actually second-place trophies. I think first place gets a custom gun!
The ‘stump’ on these starts as a piece of 8″ pipe. The bark texture is actually weld slag. We joke that it takes a lot of talent to weld that poorly. The wood texture and the portrait of Wyatt Earp are handpainted. The wrap around band is colored with an acid wash and a copper patina. Really a neat piece.
Contact us today, so we can start working on a custom piece of art for your tournaments this year.
What’s in the shop this week? Well, other than some more lousy snow outside – here’s some of the things we’ve been working on lately.
First up are a set of tee markers for Arrowhead Golf Club out of Colorado. These are cut out of 3/16″ thick steel. They had us do them in 4 custom colors, here are a couple of them that I managed to grab a picture of before they were all boxed up.
Next, we’ve had several requests for tournament awards and trophies that “are something we’ve never seen before”. We’ve been experimenting with some new techniques and have paired up with a talented local artist to produce some awards and trophies that are truly unique. These are just samples at this point, but they turned out beautifully – and at a great price point for something of this quality!
This course asked us to come up with both a gift that each participant in their Member-Guest could recieve and a trophy for the event winners. They wanted something with a “Native American Hatchet”. Each piece is cut out of steel and hand painted.
The trophy is based on a piece of 8″ pipe, and probably weights 15-20lbs. It’s also hand crafted and painted. His incredible painting gives it a 3D look that is stunning.
Here’s another sample for a desert course. This simple cactus will make an amazing centerpiece for a trophy. All of the texture is done with just weld splatter and then hand painted.
Let us know if we can start working on something original and unique for your 2012 Member-Guest!
Finally here are a pair of boxes that were purchased by the guys at Trump National. The two boxes serve two different functions. First is what we call at ‘scorecard box’. This gets mounted on a pole (included) and is usually stationed near the first tee. It contains scorecards, pencils, tees, divot repair tools, etc. The second box is what we call a ‘tournament box’. This one is usually used by tournament organizers to carry the things they need from event to event and helps keep everything they need in one handy location. The tournament box is made of 1/8″ aluminum and is a great looking box that is more durable than anything else on the market. Both boxes can be completely customized to your individual needs and requirements.

And the tournament box – it latches securely, has a sturdy handle, and a foam-lined bottom.
