Divot Bottle Racks

TEE MARKER BLOG: Invest in greatness!

July 20, 2018 by Joy Ball

When investing in tee markers, it’s important to look at durability and if there’s any maintenance involved. We design your tee markers to last about 10 years depending on how they’re taken care of. The powder coating that we use on the metal makes the markers really protects them from getting scratched and holds up well in the sun.

Our big project this week was producing the double sided tee markers for Kissing Tree Golf Club in San Marcos, Texas. The multi-layered design gives these markers dimension, but since we use aluminum, they’re fairly lightweight.

Next, are the in-ground yardage markers that we made for TPC Colorado.

We built directional signage for TPC Colorado, too. Their wildlife sign and stop signs turned out nice!

Also, this week we made bag stands for Silo Ridge, Keystone Ranch and Bel Aire Country Club.

The other driving range accessories that went out this week are range dividers for The Country Club of the North, and then divot mix boxes for Hayden Country Club. Hayden CC is the home course of RHI Golf’s CEO, Reid Hatley.

Summer is always filled with trophies. Here’s what the rhi crew has created this week. You can tell that our clients are diverse in what they want to give out as prizes.

Thanks for reading our blog. We hope you gained inspiration from it for your next project!

Getting Ready for Spring with Driving Range Supplies

January 4, 2018 by Joy Ball

We won’t be at the 2018 PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando this month, but we’d love to set up a time to talk over the phone about your next project!

Contact us at 208.635.5203 Ext 102 or info@rhigolf.com

Here at RHI Headquarters it may be snowing outside and freezing, but we’re in-gear for Spring Opening Day. Our clients are ordering early, and we’re getting their custom projects out the door! We’re going to give you the ‘rundown’ today on what we’ve been building lately so that you can get inspiration and then get started with us on the design/order process.

Talking Rock put in an order for the barrel ball buckets. These hold about 150 balls and give their driving range a unique presentation that traditional ball pyramids just don’t give..

The Country Club at Winter Haven was our ‘guinea pig’ with our new ball tray design. Yesterday, I received at email from our contact there, and Josh said that they really like these trays. As a custom shop, we make things for the ‘first time’ weekly. It keeps things creative and interesting.

Another custom project that we were asked to do was for San Jose CC. We built a custom sand & seed table with sections for amenities like tees, divot repair tools, ball marks, etc. Then we did a divot mix box for Pine Canyon CC.

We shipped out mini-flags for Teton Springs yesterday, and then some for Vasari last week.

Now for Golf Course Signage, Mirabel had us make new pool signs for them. They turned out nice in my humble opinion..

Here’s the driving range clock sign that we did for Ak-Chin Southern Dunes Golf Club, and the parking log sign that we did for Troon Country Club (show without the post).

Here’s the trash enclosure, yardage sign and driving range ALL IN ONE COMBO that Fiddler’s Elbow had us custom design for them. This was produced from a sketch that they emailed us..

We’re starting on the Roaring Forks Club driving range project, but here’s a sneak peak at one of their products; club cleaners. They are using a textured hammer color called ‘Bronze Hammer’. It’s a new powder coat that we’ve been using for a couple of clubs, and it looks really nice..

Even though it’s January NOW IS THE TIME to start putting in your trophy orders if you can for Spring and Summer. It’s good having your trophies early because 1) less stress 2) trophies can create a buzz if you share a photo of it to your members and/or have the champion awards in the golf shop for display.. Here’s a look at the trophies that we made for The Crosby Club, Southern Dunes and a Hole-in-One award.

More tournament supplies that came out this past week were the proximity markers for Annandale Club + starter boxes & trays for Capital City.

Thanks for reading our blog. The SPRING SEASON IS COMING, so there will be much more to post very soon!!

HOUSTON PROJECTS!!!

December 15, 2017 by Joy Ball

What’s new:

We just shipped a divot bottle table for Golf Club of Houston. We started this style about 4 years ago, which gives a clean look and is simple to use. Sometimes simple is best, right?

Since we look at the ‘whole picture’ and not just one product’s presentation, we also built their insulated cooler. Just ‘food for thought’, we also make a sand box that looks just like this, but of course isn’t insulated.

For their tournaments, we made a custom starters box and proximity markers.

Our shipping department was too fast, and I didn’t get a chance to snap a photo, so here’s the rendering that looks just like the finished product. The RHI Shipping Crew has fast bubble wrapping skills..

Another client of ours who we built for this month was the Country Club of Houston. We’re very excited to unveil the finalized tee markers soon (stay tuned) that we’re in production on right now on. Here’s the demos that we worked on before fine-tuning the details. As all of you know, it’s all about the details. The details is what makes your presentation stand out from the competition.

And then of course, we made Houston National’s Steel Trap Awards, and Blue Jack National’s Hurricane Harvey + AVM tournament trophies.

Consistent Presentation is Key

July 13, 2017 by Joy Ball

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.

2017 Teak Line

January 4, 2017 by Joy Ball

Do you love the look of woods, but hate the upkeep? RHI has your solution with the wood paneling look, but without the maintenance of staining wood. Great to match existing wood products, and great pricing like all of our products. Ask your sales team about the new Teak Line! info@rhigolf.com or 208.635.5203

Here is a look at the RHI Teak Collection in computerized renderings. Above shows how beautiful and classic that the ‘teak’ looks like in real-life.

Today’s blog starts with the accessories that we built for the University of Arizona at their home course, Sewailo. They chose from our new line of custom insulated coolers that was our best selling new product of 2016. Next, is a club cleaning station and a divot mix box with a hinged lid.

For the benches, we used a light colored trex, which is much more comfortable and durable than wood. The logo looks really nice on the panels on this 6′ bench.

We had a family who worked with us to design a sand & seed box with a memorial poem dedicated to their loved family member. They donated it to their home course here locally; Coeur d’Alene Public Golf Course. This unit holds 14 bottles, and has bottom storage for empty bottles, which is accessible from a backdoor. For more sand and seed options, check out our section under the tab, ‘Driving Range.’

PGA West worked with us again for their legends event this month. We made driving range targets and table center pieces drawn from the silhouettes of Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Tom Weiskopf.

Here’s the driving range sign that we made Boonsborro, the teaching sign A-frame that we made for Carmel Valley Ranch. and a A-frame cart sign that we made for Sun City Grand

Last, on signage is the clock sign that we made for The Vintage Club.

For perpetual awards built an oil rig trophy for ExonMobile.

We also made a driftwood inspired perpetual trophy. Real driftwood has durability issues through the years, so our client chose a metal ‘driftwood’ instead.

Lastly for awards, are the individual trophies that we made for Southern Dunes and for University of Oklahoma.

Besides awards, a must-have for tournament supplies is custom proximity markers with your logo and club colors. These greatly increase the speed of play and add another level of professionalism to your events.

To end today’s blog, here’s a peak at a custom prototype that we’re working on.

The details are in everything that we touch..

Featured Project -COCO BEACH GOLF CLUB

Coco Beach Golf Club (previously Trump International) is an excellent golf facility in PR. It offers two 18 hole golf courses, the Championship and International. The RHI Crew built their new tee signs and directional signs for both of their golf courses, as well as a complete custom range set up. Browse the Coco Beach gallery to see how each product tied in together perfectly for this beautiful property.

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.
