Amenities on-hand

by

We’ve made a few amenity cart/boxes that were extra special that we want to share with you on today’s blog. 

First up is Pine Canyon’s amenity carts. Amenity carts are  are a perfect way to keep refreshments, towels, scorecards, tees, etc. at hand on the 1st Tee. We made a lot of these, but each one is a little bit different (it’s the nature of a custom shop). Pine Canyon asked for a small counter that they could display their ice tea and water pitchers. It also has a sun roof and insulated 50 qt cooler. Notice that the wheel are hand carved. In t his case we left the wheels ‘bare’, but some of our clients like a medium to dark stain to them. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We did a first-time build for The Stone Canyon Club that shipped last week. It’s a combination of an amenity box that has a stand with shelves. The shelves are designed to hold divot bottles. The twisted metal gives it a decorative look. 

Another amenity solution was what Blue Jack National asked us to design/build. We recently saw this photo and had to share. 

All of these units could potentially hold towels, but here’s what we did for Mountain Brook and Winter Haven with towels in mind. 

Winter Haven GC had us to a combo unit with their driving range sign to keep their range clean and clutter free looking (beautiful course). 

Prize Table Ideas

by

There’s a lot of details and planning involved in tournaments. One of the questions comes up, what do we give the champions? Do we give a trophy to the flight winners? This past week we’ve worked with a couple of clients that show a great example of a consistent presentation in give-aways. 

First is Blue Jack National. For their Annual AVM Golf Tournament, we used the tournament’s logo as the main focus for their perpetual trophy, and for their champion awards. You can see how nice in looks on their prize ‘table’ (it’s actually  a custom made log bench that we sent them a few years ago). 

We’ve worked with Rib Crip Corp. for several years to make trophies fr their Pit Masters Tournament. Here’s what we did this year. 

This was the first time that we worked with Desert Lakes Golf Club in Fort Movae, AZ. We worked closely with their gm in producing what he envisioned. We engraved their sponsor info on the top plates of the trophy bases. 

Last up for this post, is the annunal ‘Swing & Sting’ trophies that we have done the past few years for Victory Ranch in Utah. 

Full Customization -> Bag Stands

by

What do your players need on-hand while on the range? We began a decade ago with a basic no-tray bag stand, and then it evolved. Our clients (you) have developed our stands into a unit that meets the players’ changing needs. If you browse our website, you’ll see that a lot of the trays are a little bit different. Some have 2 cup holders, others have 1 cup holder and 1 spot for a range finer, or holes for alignment rods, etc. It’s limitless, really. Just let us know what works for your players and we’ll create a custom-made bag stand. 

Last week we worked with Rolling Hills CC in Hills Estates, California.  Their super sent us their range finder so that we could custom fit it in their stands during production. We designed the stand so that the range finder could be attached to it, which avoids the issue of any ‘walking away’.. 

 

Here’s the custom tray that we built awhile back for The Madison Club (Discovery course). They had us drill holes for alignment rods behind the compartment for it, while The Cliffs had us create a box solely for their range finder. Everyone is so different, which makes life interesting here at RHI. 

Ending question: What kind of tray works best for your range?

Amp up your presentation with Tournament Supplies

by

Tournament Cases and Starter Trays add presentation value to your event as well as keep need-to-have items readily available.

Here’s the starter trays that we shipped out lately: 1) Large tray for The Los Angeles Country Club. 2) Ak’chin Southern Dunes -Troon facility 3) Winged Foot 4) The Clubs at St. James

 

Next is the tournament case with clasps that we made for the USGA to take to The Walker Cup. You can’t get classier than this..

Painted driftwood or branches might be your thing, but come tournaments it’s time to amp up your presentation value with custom tee markers.. 

If you’re tired of painting wooden blocks or branches (isn’t everyone except the committee?), then we can design/build low-maintenance and beautiful custom tee markers for your course.

 

Last, but not least, is tournament prizes (of course). Anyone can give out generic crystal, but a custom trophy can be one of the best marketing pieces for your tournament that creates such a buzz and becomes part of your tournament and club’s identity. Really. 

Here’s what’s come out our doors this past week for trophies. You’ll see the variety in our designs, and that we design specifically for our clients who are as different from each other as can be. 

Clear Creek Tahoe wanted trophies for their The Rivalry tournament to look like an old saw. After months of developing the design, we got it! 

Here’s the rest that came out our doors (: 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for reading our blog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tournament Tee Markers & More!

by

This week was the week of tee markers and trophies.. 

First off are the 5 sets of tee markers that we made for The Meadows at Mystic Lake. 

We also made tournament markers for an event held at the Lake Forest CC. Their event had a tournament logo and a sponsor logo. We thought about making a double sided tee marker, but after thinking about it, we all decided to do 18 with one logo and 18 of the other logo for a sleeker presentation. 

Then we made A-frame tee markers for the Remission Foundation event. This is particularly a great style if you need to stack and store them (perfect for event markers). 

We’ve made trophies for Eagle Bend for years, but this year they wanted to add-on tournament tee markers to ramp up the presentation.

For awards we made juniper tree trophies for Pronghorn, mammoths for Snowmass and cowboys for The Club at Olde Hawthorne. You can tell that we make a wide variety of awards.. Each one is designed for our particular client to fit what works for them best. 

We also make perpetual boards, here’s one we shipped for Toscana. 

On the range accessory front, let’s start with signs:

Then there’s insulated coolers like the ones that we did for Sonoma. 

Also for water solutions, we built a metal version of a teak beverage station. 

Last to share today is the custom bench that we made for Pronghorn. 

 

 

Consistent Presentation is Key

by

When you really see the difference in presentation is when you’re accessories are consistent in colors, style and logos.

Here’s a look at how Trinity Forest is giving their customers the best possible presentation. 

This week we made a range box that stemmed from a design we created 3 years ago that was modeled off a treasure chest design (see below). The head pro at TF, took that design as inspiration for his one-of-a-kind amenity box. He added a divot bottle rack so that the space was utilized fully. 

 

We added pneumatic hinges on after I took this photo. 

We also shipped their scorecard box this week. 

Below are a couple other orders that we’ve made for them in the past year or so. Notice how everything just fits together in appearance.


Driving Range Targets

by

Hi, everyone. We’ve been branching out with the driving range targets that we make by most recently creating animal cutout targets. These targets are about 5′ to 6′ feet tall depending on the chosen animal.

 

The wine barrel targets are also a fun target to hit. They made a loud noise (ball hitting steel) that makes heads turn without being obnoxious.  Here’s the ones that we made in the last few days: 

 

Then there’s always a 20′ bulls-eye to aim at…

 

We had started making ball pyramid trays, but started getting more creative with barrel ball buckets and baskets. Here’s the bucket that we made for Talking Rock. 

We love when we get commissioned to make something outside the norm, and that’s what happened with Aldarra. They asked us to make ball ‘buckets’ in the shape of their signature silo. These will hold 300 or so balls and will be something special and unique that’s at only their range. 

Or if you want to go traditional, we make custom ball pyramid trays that hold 140 balls.

 

 

 

For Range Layout Signs, we made in-ground signs for Crane Creek, and a hanging sign for Thousand Oaks. 

For Thousand Oaks, we also made mini-flags and shipped those last week in time for their men’s event. 

 

That’s all for today! Thanks.
