Driving Range Yardage Signs

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.

Driving Range Targets

July 13, 2017 by Joy Ball

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.

Driving Range Update Ideas & More

April 3, 2017 by Joy Ball

Hi. Today let’s look at a couple of projects that we’ve been working with.

First, is the Mountaintop Lake & Golf Club PROJECT. We worked closely with the head pro there on every detail of the new product line up. Let’s start with the custom amenity carts that Fox designed with us.

This is the cart that together we designed for his North End, which is the self-service side. We wanted to keep everything covered in case of rain. There’s the insulated cooler, and then the large storage area in the bottom. Because of the shape of the build, we added pneumatic wheels to the end.

On their South End, we designed an amenity cart that was larger. Rain was still a concern, so we build 2 removable lid sections, as well as a bracket on the side so that they could attach an umbrella on if they wanted to. There’s an insulated cooler on this one too.

For their bag stands, we made the kickplate bag stand for their self-service end, and something completely different for their full-service side. The full service stand holds clubs at an angle.

Also, on the driving range, we made ball corrals with weld bumps to keep the balls from being stuck in the corners.

For signage, we made a driving range sign in a style that we call the ‘range tree.’

Here’s the other signs that we made for Mountaintop:

Mountaintop wanted to keep with the same color theme on their tee markers. We made 2 styles, and direction tee markers.

The 2nd course that we’re showing off today is the Part 2 Project for Green Brook Country Club in New Jersey.

First, we made their insulated coolers. They chose a 2-toned gray powder coat that has 2 shades of gray.

We’ve made driving range clock signs for them before, but they wanted another style with a movable x base. for their driving range.

Usually, we stick with 1 color scheme, but their course has 2 different club color schemes. This is the club cleaning station that we made. We still kept the logo consistent like on everything else that we’ve made for them.

Here’s their starter’s tray. We designed it specifically to fit their scorecards. We make starter boxes with lids and without in different styles and layouts.

You can’t see it in this photo, but there’s stakes welded behind the circle plate so that the sign can be inserted into the ground. It’s a low key directional sign.

We also made trash can enclosures. The top portion is removable so that staff can lift it and take out the trash. There’s handles on the sides of the shell to make it easy to move.

Lastly, this style of podium is our slanted top style. I really like this one because it as top storage (top in hinged) and back storage with shelves. You can choose casters as an add-on.

We’ll be sharing more projects soon! If you have photos of your RHI products, you’re welcome to email it to your RHI sales team. We love seeing the accessories at the facilities.

Yardage Signs

September 26, 2016 by Joy Ball

RHI Golf makes quality yardage signs that are important for presentation on your range.

The crew can make 6′ buffalo targets like we did for one of the Discovery courses; Gozzer Ranch. Or we can go simplistic & classy like we did for the Peninsula. The yardage signs are also incredibly affordable, which is always a plus.

For driving range signs, the crew can make the flags interchangeable so that it gives you the utmost flexibility.

Then we did the range layout signs for Forest Highlands by using their layout sketch as reference.

We made a couple of starter’s boxes this week as well as scorecard boxes. Here’s the ones that we did for Peninsula and La Quinta. These are made of 1/8″ aluminum and are a great looking box that is more durable than anything else on the market.

The last photo that was taken of this style of podium was back when the guys use to take photos in the warehouse. Needless to say, I was excited to use the fancy camera on it.

For Sonoma, we made cart signs and a Staff Only sign. The colors tie in well together.

For Spanish Oaks, the crew made No Cart Signs and other informational signage.

We also made directional signs for The Creek at Qualchan GC & a local course, Circling Raven.

Saratoga National and Lexus teamed up for bag stands and broken tee boxes. These really turned out nice.

Tee Markers

First tee marker is for Shoshone CC who say that the moose are running off with their tee markers. It’s a first that we’ve heard of.

Below are tee markers for Woodmont’s South Course.

Does the tiger look familiar? It’s modeled after Tiger Woods’ head cover for the tiger tees at his U.S. Course Blue Jack National.

Below are tee markers for Silver Putter tournament and a private course.

Proximity Markers speed up the pace of play and give a professional presentation. 1. Course at Wente Vineyards. 2. Black Wolf Run. 3. DL

Fall/Winter trophies are in full swing: 1. Idle Hour’s. 2. Ponderosa Shootout for Bend G&CC.

Next, is the Captain’s Award for Black Bear Tavern, and the dusty boot for Shooting Star.

For perpetuals, we made a plaque for Jimmie Austin GC, and a trophy for Marine Memorial GC.

Marine Memorial LOVED their perpetual and surpassed their expectations that they had at time of order.

Lastly, we have ‘cattle brands’ for Spanish Oaks. The brands are something fun and unique to give winners. It’s also easy for the champions to store on a mantle, hooked on a wall or rested against a wall.

More photos soon to come . Follow us on Twitter @RHIGolf and Facebook for updates on what the top 100 US golf courses and 1,000+ clients are doing with custom fixtures on a daily basis. It’s a great way to get ideas for your facility!

For the driving range, we just sent out a Range Sign for the new discovery course Silo Ridge, a range layout sign for Trinity Forest and a driving range clock for Teton Springs.

For Par 3 Signage, we’ve been asked lately to make Par 3 Trees with hooked/removable numbers like the first photo for Burning Tree.

Then there’s entry signage like Pinehurst’s Deuce sign, and then a menu sign for Alpine CC.

Last on signage for today’s blog, are tee monument signs for Troon CC and Rockwind Community Links.

Course Fixtures

The crew build 23 Gal Trash Can enclosures for Troon CC, and a water station with storage for Blackhawk CC that has a section for towels & trash.

Tournament Supplies

Proximity markers make tournaments run smoother and give a professional look. Below are RHI standard proximity markers for Silo Ridge and Kuki’o.

Instead of always giving out crystal, we offer courses a creative solution with our unique trophies. Below are the most recent ones that have come out of the shop this month.

Below is one of my favorite; Happy Hollow’s Director’s Cup award. It’s small, but with the layers of metal welded together it weighs 7 lbs.

The Golf Club of Tennessee hosted the Celebrity Golf Classic for the Monroe Carrell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt. We made a perpetual trophy and individual trophies for this special event.

Last for the trophies, we have the tree stumped trophies for Chamions’ Run and Balsam Preserve. For Balsam Preserve, our welder imitated locust bark texture which is unique to that course.

The Cliffs at Keowee Vineyards had us create trophies based on their farm bell that they have on their property.

We’re going to leave you with the Kuki’o putter stand and their broken tee box.

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.

Taking Trophy Orders

May 23, 2016 by Joy Ball

TOURNAMENT GIVE-AWAYS

You can tell that we’ve been extremely busy with tournament awards last May. Here’s a run down on the custom trophies that built for the clubs’ special events. 1. Skagit. 2. Merion’s wicker baskets. 3. Roaring Fork’s fish trophies. 4. Whipporwill’s steam shovel trophies.

For the Big Sky Bird & Birdie, we did these 2 trophies that a little different from each other, but it ties in together with coloring and base shape.

For Rib Crib’s event, we did several smaller awards that will fit perfectly on the winners’ desk of mantle. Bigger isn’t always better in this case..

Lastly, we have Westchesters’ ladies’ barn trophies. The bases are designed to resemble like barn wood. Also, notice the new engraving that we are doing.

COURSE SIGNAGE

Looking for signs for your course? We make any and every kind that you can think of with your club colors and logo.

First up today are the custom par 3 signs for White Beeches and The Cliffs at Valley. Each of these has slide-in numbers and their own unique look.

THE DRIVING RANGE

The other signs that went out were the driving range signs for The Alamo and Druid Hills. Each of these signs was built based on what the clubs needed.

Next, are the range dividers that went out again for Sycamore Hills.

Here’s the bag stands that we modified the design for Forest Highlands to accommodate their players’ water bottles.

And then Happy Hollow’s bag stands that we cut their logo out on the front panels. The powder coat on this is BR47, which is the powder coat version of rust.

TEE MARKERS

For tee markers, we did A-frame tee markers for Black Bull. These will be easy to store and to see from the cart path.

Then there’s the tournament tee markers that we did for Byron Electric’s event.

STARTER’S PODIUMS

Colonial Country Club is getting their starter’s podium delivered soon. We custom built it for them with the slanted & hinged top, and back storage space.
