Tournament Accessories

December 17, 2015 by Joy Ball

Logo proximity markers give a professional look to your tournaments. Pair them with a-frames on the tee box that announce the contest for a consistent look.

1. & 2. Turning Stone. 3. Wyndgate. 4. Kooyonga. 5. & 6. Talamore.

For tournament trophies we have Idle Hour’s moose cup trophies, which were inspired by the Chevy Chase movie ‘Christmas Vacation’. These cups are removable and are perfect for their ‘Eggnog Invitation.’ Next, we have trophies for Hidden Valley, & Fieldstone.

RHI makes any kind of plaque that you need. First, Troon Country Club’s Course Records, Osage National, Eagle Springs & Southern Dunes’ ‘Associate of the Month’ Plaque.

For signs, we have Rockwind’s bag drop & directional sign, as well as Carmel Valley’s kitchen sign.

Sonoma has their ‘Members Only’ sign and shag bag rack on their way.

The tee markers below are re-orders for Towson and Kapalua.

Tee Marker Fever

November 24, 2015 by Joy Ball

It’s planning season for the golf pros of the North, & RHI has accessory photos to give you inspiration for your next project. We have creative tee markers, driving range ideas and a couple of trophies to share today.

1st: Have fun and be creative with your tee markers. We make these affordable so that it won’t break the budget, and you can order spares. 1) San Jose CC. 2) Carmel Valley Ranch. 3) Salisbury. 4&5) 2 of the 5 sets for Prestonwood. Players can easily see these from different angles & from the golf carts. 6) 2 of the sets for Cedars at Dungeness. They chose metal colors for something different.

2nd: For driving range accessories, we built bag stands, tee holders, & range targets for Citrus Club. Don’t these look nice?!

Below is one of the driving range ball pyramids for Encanterra. These hold 140 balls.

For Waccabuc, we have a shag bag rack that was modified to hold range bags and a hanging driving range sign.

Lastly, is a skeet shooting trophy for The Cliffs at Riverbend and then a perpetual trophy for the Phoenix Police Department golf tournament. The indentation that you see is actually where a trophy cup will sit.

Driving Range Design Ideas

October 30, 2015 by Joy Ball

We are officially up and running 100% now, and working lightning fast to get your orders to you. A big ‘thanks’ to our loyal clients who have hung in there with us while we have been getting back on our feet since June’s fire.

I talked with one of our clients about his order other day, and he was like, “Your boss is great at golf, right? I trust whatever he thinks would work best.” This is an example of how head pros know that their range accessories are in good hands because Reid & the crew have been part of the golf industry for years. We know what works and what doesn’t.

I’ve been extra chatty today, so let’s get down to business with showing the custom golf course products that the crew has worked hard on. First up, is the last phase of The Hasentree Club’s range accessories. Custom twisted metal bag stand, & ball stacking basket.

The Hasentree Club also has a Driving Range Sign that is on their last freight shipment. Look how nice it turned out.

Next, are Waccabuc’s driving range clock signs.

The crew also finished Waccabuc’s par 3 a-frames that have the slide-in vinyl numbers and Wachesaw’s waste can enclosure.

For tournament accessories, we have Bright Creek’s 3D water wheel trophy and Anthem’s shootout trophies.

Lastly, Telluride’s pickaxe tee markers. Telluride is excited to tee off next to these in the Spring.

Logo Tee Markers & More..

October 15, 2015 by Joy Ball

Think past the plastic ball tee markers or the branded driftwood, and explore custom tee markers made out of durable aluminum that are given a beautiful powder coat finish. The RHI crew can build logo tee markers as simple or intricate as you need, and hit almost any budget. 1. North Fork 2. Olde Barnstable 3. Waccabuc

RHI’s in-ground yardage plates are built custom with your color/design choices. We build them with welded stakes that go into the ground deep enough that lawn mowers can go over these safely. 1. Hidden Valley. 2. Crane Creek.

For the driving range, we have Wachesaw’s bag stands that have smooth round tube. These are one of the easiest-to-move bag stands (I liked that while moving them around for photos) that we make, and are just beautiful in the copper-vein textured finish. Then we have Sahalee’s teaching signs for their practice area.

Next, is a golf course directional sign for Desert Canyon and putting green flagsticks for Sahalee.

For tournament prize ideas, check out the below golf trophies that we built this week. 1. Toscana’s re-order of the Toscana Cup. 2. Union League’s 3 layer elephant. This is a good example of how 3D doesn’t have to be from casted molds that cost way too much. We used 3 layers of metal to give this elephant a dimensional look at an unbeatable price. It’s hard to tell in a photo, but up-close you’ll see the thickness and how it appears to be walking on the trophy base.

Lastly, the RHI crew made whisky barrel awards for Almaden’s champions and small half-barrel awards for their flight winners.

USGA Mid Am & October at RHI

October 5, 2015 by Joy Ball

First up, let’s give a ‘shout out’ to RHI’s CEO & founder, Reid Hatley. Reid just advanced to the Round of 32 by knocking off the No. 4 Seed in match play at the USGA Mid-Amateur National Tournament in Vero Beach, Fla.

Our first ‘share’ are golf club scrubbers for the driving range for Wachesaw & Hasentree. These give the driving range a professional look. Pick your color and add your logo for a truly custom look!

Next, is a custom broken tee box for Entrada’s driving range that serves it purpose while looking classy. Then we have a driving range target in the shape of a pheasant for Legacy Ridge.

Below is a ball pyramid tray that we made twice for Wachesaw (the first time these burned in our warehouse fire). These trays will look great on their driving range!

The tournament prizes that your winning players leave with are lasting memories of playing at your course. That makes it especially important to give awards that look good, and are special to them & your course. Awards by RHI Golf will do just that. Northwood’s Oak Tree Invitational will be giving out nice looking oak tree trophies. Notice the detail that the water jet machine cut into the steel. Also, the base 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 players at Catawba’s 2014 Fall Classic liked their trophies so much that we have a 2015 re-order.

Same thing happened with Lakes at Castle Hills’ “Quest for the Grail”, and St. James’ “Cattail Classic”. For St. James, we did these 3D cattails for the ladies’ in the spring, which were well-received, so we are doing them for the men, too.

It is October, so it’s fitting to have an Oktoberfest beer trophy. Here’s one that we modeled after Ledge Rock’s design vision.

Below are tomahawk trophies for The Cliffs at Keowee Falls. It was cool to have a real tomahawk piece pipe to incorporate into a trophy. The guys were surprised when I walked in the shop with a Native American piece pipe!

As we start to get back into full production mode soon, you will be seeing lots more photos!

Strong at RHI Golf

June 19, 2015 by Joy Ball

At 4 am Tuesday morning our lives were changed by a devastating arson fire that destroyed our ten thousand square foot building. Reid Hatley, RHI’s owner has put his heart and soul into this company since 2009, and we’re not going to let this tragedy keep our business from being one of the fastest growing in the golf manufacturing industry. He has found a new warehouse, and we will be back in operation beginning as soon as possible. We will build each order as soon as possible because we value everyone’s continued loyalty to RHI Golf. If you have any questions, please email/call Joy, Reid & Amber any day/time and we will try to help you as much as possible. Please do not cancel your orders because our products quality isn’t based on a 3 month period, they are built to last several years on your course. If you do have an order with us, please call/email to confirm with us, because once we become operational in October, we will begin building the orders in the order that we first received them. Thank you for your continued support. Please spread the word about RHI’s amazing product and how we’re going to come back bigger and better before with all new machines and all new outlooks on business. We are still taking orders. Thanks everyone for your amazing support

Derby Trophy Post

June 12, 2015 by Joy Ball

Custom horseshoe trophies are a unique award for your winners. The course’s logo looks great in the middle!

Kissing Camels GC also did custom plaques where we layered 3 pieces of oxidized metal to make ‘mountains’.

If you look close at this logo, you’ll see the detail that our water jet machine expertly cut. The crew also welded golf clubs behind the logo to give a nice look.

For Champions Run, the crew built trophies for 2 different events. It saves on s&h, and now they have one set of awards early.

Below, the RHI crew made double-sided Range Layout Signs for Castle Pines. They used green chalkboard paint for the greens so that chalk can be used to write the yardage there. Next sign is a moveable Scoreboard Sign for Predator Ridge. On one side there’s black cork board, and the other side has Plexiglas so that sharpies or dry erase can be used to write on it.

Golf Tournament Accessories

June 9, 2015 by Joy Ball

Do you have a tournament in August-October that you need trophies for? It’ time to start booking your order (: First, we have several June tournament trophies to share with you.

Overall Champion & Flight Champion Trophies

Below are Custom Tournament Boxes & Starter’s Trays that are functional and give a professional look. 1. Washington Metropolitan Association Starter Box (Open Style). 2. USGA Starter’s Tray (Open Style). 3.&4. Tournament Organizer Box for Old Edward’s. In this style we have clips to hold paper securely in place.

Custom Tee Markers can be as unique as you want. Below is one of our favorite styles that Crane Creek did.

Custom Tee Signs: Both of these tee signs have raised layered logos that give a great branded look. Each sign was given special handwork and involved several powder coat processes. Each color that you see is a separate piece of metal. Tee Signs can be mounted on walls, rocks, posts, etc. Just let us know where yours will be.

Next, we have to share the custom Scoreboard Signs that we made for Hillcrest CC. These signs will last for the next several years while looking great. We made these so that they have adjustable heights.

The RHI Crew builds durable and affordable metal podiums that you can customize to fit your needs. RHI’s quotes are often HALF of other companies. Below is the podium that we built for Wannamoisett.

Lastly, is a Directional Golf Course Sign for Lincoln Park West, and an A-Frame Range Sign with clock for Pikewood National. We build all kinds of signs, big and small. Just let us know what you need and we’ll create a custom option that works for you.

The RHI Crew builds durable metal on-course fixtures with your course logo. Below is what we did for Rhode Island CC. 1. Custom Water Tower with Waste Receptacle. 2. Custom Bench. 3. Club Cleaning Station.

Custom Tee Markers gives a professional look to your course and gives you an opportunity to do something creative (no more branded branches). Check out the Tire Tee Markers that Wyoming Valley did and the Elephant Tee Markers that Union League wanted.
