Tee Markers

December 2, 2016 by Joy Ball

CUSTOM TEE MARKERS

Northern courses are already getting their tee markers ordered so that they’re that much closer to be ready to an amazing open in Spring 2017. For the Southern courses, the RHI crew is working hard to deliver your tee markers quickly.

First up is a tee marker built for Nemacolin Woodlands Resort course (Sheperd’s Rock). This type of tee marker is a favorite, and gives a beautiful presentation. This style also gives room for the logo and course name on the back.

Sao Fernando, Drumlins CC and Castiglion del Bosco, Club at Gray’s Crossing chose our upright tee markers which are the #1 seller and as you can see can have a complex logo or a simplistic logo.

For the driving range we have a hanging driving range sign for Piedmont Driving Club. Instead of chain, we are now using carbines to attach the signs to the frame for a more durable experience.

We make 20″x 20″ A-frame range clocks, which give a beautiful and consistent look to your range. The signs are made to last the next 5+ years, and the weather resistent clocks are easy and inexpensive to replace as needed.

Here’s the aluminum A-frame range dividers that the RHI Crew made recently. As you can see, courses can choose from their icon logo or their course name for another branding opportunity.

Next to share is the club cleaning station that we made for Vasari and the ball bucket for The Golf Club at Lansdowne.

Last for the range, is the wine barrel targets for St. James Plantation. They chose to incorporate their club color green into these.

For awards, we made a very detailed snake plaque for Desert Mountain.

Thanks for reading our blog, and have a great weekend!

Frenchman’s Reserve Project

October 19, 2016 by Joy Ball

As everyone knows, there’s value in presentation. Today’s blog post is to show how to tie in colors and logo for a consistent look.

“The details are in everything that we touch..”

-Frenchman’s Reserve

18-hole, 6,855-yard, par-72 Arnold Palmer Signature Golf Course in South Florida is complete with a driving range, 2 putting greens and a chipping area.

We kept the main color as copper vein, which is a 2 toned warm coppery brown speckled with black. We stayed true to their burgundy/gold/white logo colors.

To begin, we built a slanted topped starter’s podium with top and back storage.

The upright twisted bag stands have holes drilled for alignment rods. The base has prongs to insert in the ground for extra stability.

Next, are the range dividers and club washers that tie in nice with their bag stands.

On their driving range sign, we did 2 columns of yardage for a wider/shorter look.

For the broken tee boxes & trash can enclosures, Frenchman’s Reserve chose to skip the logo, but keep the same color theme.

On the golf instruction signs we kept it subtle in size and then went crest only on the back.

The RHI crew went simple/classy on the sand & seed racks.

The crew made a sand box with full logo because we had the room on the unit, and it gave variety to logos among the other items.

Next, is their scorecard box with post and attached pin location sign. Here’s 2 photos of this piece. I took the box off of the post because I’m not tall enough to take a photo of the top of the box..

On their in-ground yardage markers, we skipped the yardage and went logo only.

Last to share are their proximity markers and tee box announcements.

Golf Driving Range Equipment & Range Accessories

August 2, 2016 by Joy Ball

We have a few driving range projects that we’ve been working on, & want to share. Range accessories are an RHI specialty.

VICTORY RANCH PROJECT

Victory Ranch has a consistent and clean look for their range with matching bag stands, range dividers, and amenities tray for their range cart (cart not pictured). We also made 20 Gal. trash can enclosures with the same coloring and logo style.

TRINITY FOREST PROJECT

This is a new course in Dallas, Texas that has a modern look. We’re often asked for rustic like the Victory Ranch order, but then we get requests that are opposite.

We make insulated coolers and cooler boxes at various sizes. This Keystone Ranch cooler box is our largest; 120 qt.

For Manchester (NH), we made a custom range box that a spot for their divot bottles, and a small shoe cleaning station.

The Course Wente Vineyards is ready for their bag stands and range dividers. These are going to look amazing on their range.

Here’s also the range divider that we did for Entrada and the Sand & Seed Rack for Turning Stone.

We did several hanging signs for Lakewood CC of Dallas, Texas. Here’s one of them.

A few courses have asked for easels that they use as leader boards with a plasma tv. These are also used to display signs/promo signs.

These are the tee markers that have just gone out for Plantation, and Woodmont’s North course.

Lastly, are the trophies that we’ve done in the last week. Notice how different each can be. The first two are for Rock Creek Cattle Company.

These two are for Oak Hills CC overall champions and flight winners.

Below are a few more.

Driving Range Accessories Summer 2016

July 19, 2016 by Joy Ball

Hi, everyone. No matter how much more time is left in your season, there’s still time to ‘wow’ your members.

First on the blog, are the bag stands that we did for Wolf Creek.

Next, are Riverside’s club cleaning stations. These units have handles on either side so that you can attach your own brush onto for the cleanest experience. Inside the stations are grates to help with the cleaning process.

To help with pace of play, we made these driving range clocks for Rolling Hills, Stone Briar & The Cliffs.

Need a place for your putters? Here’s a twisted metal putter stand with logo.

Signs that will look good on your course:

For signs, let’s start with Rockwind’s directional signs. Here’s just a couple of the sign package that we did.

Rockwind also did “Yardage to the Pins” signs that they’ll be mounting to boulders.

Then there’s The Cliffs par 3 tree. These have been a good seller in the last year.

We also made Spring Hill College’s in-ground yardage plates that we used their school colors for the color scheme.

Let’s end today’s blog with tee markers. We love working on tee marker projects because they’re different every time. What do you want your players to tee off next to?

Below are tee markers for The Albany, NCAC, Stanwich, & the monkeys are for a private tournament.

Lastly, the first set for Plantation CC is done, then there’s tee markers for Minnewaska Golf Club and Camp Courant.

Tournament Tee Markers & Awards

March 30, 2016 by Joy Ball

Tournament Tee Markers can get really creative and give your tournament a special look. A great example of this is the tournament markers that will be at The Concession.

The RHI Crew has a few trophies that have gone out the door in the last day. 1) Golf Writer’s Association has new themed awards every year & we love to rise to the occasion to ‘wow’ the winners. 2) LedgeRock strayed away from the usually circle or rectangle base with this ‘stacked’ look. 3) Horse Race Trophies for Whispering Pines. 4) Children’s Hospital Awards.

The Links at Summerly created a new multi-colored logo that was fun to work with. Each color of the logo is a separate piece of aluminum that we have pemmed together like a jigsaw puzzle. Below are their waste enclosures and club cleaning stations.

Next up is Galloway National’s insulated cooler on a stand.

Below is The Links’ bag stand with the cutout logo and Union League’s driving range sign.

Lastly, is one of our best selling products, the 1/2 barrel driving range basket for The Cliffs.

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!
