At a Glance..

St. Charles Country Club’s new bag stands just came in and their driving range looks great!!

We worked with CDA National Reserve on their driving range set up and it looks beautiful! We also made their tee markers earlier this year. We love all of our customers, but it’s nice working with courses in our backyard, too!! 

Here’s a look at the Troon driving range update that we did for Entrada at Snow Canyon recently. They have new bag stands, dividers & half barrel ball baskets for a clean & consistent look. The beautiful coloring is called Copper Vein and we went with see-thru logos for an understated look.

This is some of what we did at the Discovery Land Co. property, Driftwood. They chose a custom shade of green and worked with our designers for a brand specific look. 

 

 

Updating your range in 2020

by

Start with what’s essential when updating your range or course accessories… 

The Summer of 2020 might not be the time that your club is wanting to update the entire driving range, especially if you are in the North or East Coast. But you still need things… COVID-19 did not change the fact that your recycled plastic bag stands aren’t holding up to the weather and need to be replaced badly…
It’s a good idea to write down EVERYTHING that needs to be updated on the course and the range on a piece of paper. Then prioritize it and write a new list for 2020 with the ‘must haves’ and then the ‘would like to haves’ for 2021. This advice could really apply to personal life as well as a way of cutting spending and focusing on what matters most in life instead of the distractions…
At RHI Golf we’re seeing that many projects are being done in multiple steps. For example, some of our clients are ordering bags stands only instead of the range dividers, club cleaners, ball crates, etc. Or maybe all of the signage needs to be updated, but for now the most important thing is to get signs out there so people aren’t riding their rvs or walking their dogs where they potentially could be hit by golf balls, so a partial signage order is placed with the intention that more signs will be ordered in the near future. There are still full range orders being placed and capital funds are being released more and more. But don’t stress if there’s pressure to keep spending to a minimum. So start with the essentials and go from there. Not everything has to be done all at once. Breathe. You got this.

Here’s a look at some of the driving range & course supplies that have been going out our doors lately. 

This is the mini-cart that we made for Tributary Club in Driggs, Idaho. Usually we made large carts, but sometimes a little smaller is just right!!

Range Dividers for Lubbock Country Club. We also made bag stands and trash can enclosures for them, but with their tree logo. For the dividers, we wanted to mix it up a little. 

These are the clean & simple yardage markers that we made for Soule Park Golf Course in California. 

At Champions Retreat we made them 5 sets of tee markers for their course in Georgia. The tee markers are naturally rusted steel with a low-gloss clear coat over the logos’ powder coat. They’re going for a low-key rustic look. Accomplished!!!

We did a few essential signs for Blackstone Country Club. 

As states start to re-open, tournaments are going back on the calender (below are a few trophies). 

What’s New at RHI Golf

by

Hi everyone.  Today’s blog is a look into what’s been going out the doors here at RHI Golf so you can get inspiration.. 

The Director of Golf at Blackhawk Country Club created these bag stands and ball containers designs and breathed life into his sketches. It’s really great as a client to have that much control over the design and production. It’s the beauty of a custom shop like us.

We made more for their range setup, but this is what I was able to take a photo of before our speedy shipping department crated the order. 

Below are the bag stands that we’ve recently made for The Plantation Club and Madison Club. 

This is the club cleaner that University of Louisville Athletics had us make.  

Here’s 2 different kinds of ball crates that we just made. The ball crates are our answer to the applecrate and t hey work so much better.

 

We’re happy to have the opportunity to work with Top Golf on their trash can enclosures and benches. 

This is the broken tee box that we made for Redrock Country Club. 

Our specialty is custom driving range accessories, but we have such a good relationship with our clients that they continuously ask us to also help with tournament awards. Here’s what we’ve made the last couple of weeks. 

We also have to share the trail signs that we made this week for Summit Club in Las Vegas (Discovery Land Co. course). These small signs (12″x12″) will look great on their trails and give needed info to those who walk their trails. 

Last up are the BEARDOWN tee markers (re-order) that we made for University of Arizona. I love the look of these, don’t you? 

 

Thanks everyone for reading our blog!! 

Behind the Scenes: Ball Bowls

by

Our shop manager, will was fabricating a mini fire pit when inspiration struck last week! Instead of using it for its original purpose, he brought it into the shop and suggested that these would be a great ball container option. I got really excited when I saw it because it’s unique and doesn’t hold an obnoxious about of balls. These hold 100 to 115 balls, which is more than the 45 balls that the leather bags hold at Reid’s (ceo of rhi) home course. Because really, how many balls will your member hit at one time??

 

I also like this design because you can tilt on it’s side or have it upright, just like the half barrel ball baskets that we make. These do have a logo option on them, but they look great without a logo. You can get away with not having a logo especially if you have rhi bag stands and dividers with your logo on them. 

Here’s the bowls with the balls that I temporarily borrowed from Reid’s office.. 

We also make the traditional pyramids and then half barrel ball basket & buckets. 

 

 

How to get the best experience from your club washers..

How to get the best experience from your club washers..

The club washers that we make at RHI Golf hold a 5-gallon water bucket and have a removable grate that lets water drain. On the left and right side of the unit there are arms that can hold a towel and you can attach a handheld scrub brush to it. The club washers look the nicest on the market (several steps up from the mean green machine at Par Aide..) and are about half the price (seriously) of Prestwick’s plastic trim club washers..

Instead of having built in brushes that are hard to clean, we decided to go old school and design a golf club cleaning station where members would use a handheld scrubber because:

  • The member can gently clean their clubs and are less likely to get scratches during the cleaning process than with a bucket that has built in brushes.
  • It’s the cleanest experience. Built-in brushes aren’t the easiest to keep clean and dirt gets all up in it. How clean can you expect your clubs to get with grimy brushes??
  • Handheld scrubbers are inexpensive and easy to replace. You can order new scrubber and get them in 2 days with Amazon Prime’s free shipping for example (wham, bam, done!)

Also, we make trash can enclosures for the driving range that look great next to the club washers..

 

 

 

5 Questions to Ask When Buying New Bag Stands

by

There used to be the day where your members would lean a full-sized golf bag against a bag stand on the driving range. Times have changed. Now they leave the bag in the cart and take a handful clubs and rest them against the stand. The bag stand now is really a club stand where a water bottle, and maybe a cellphone is resting, as well as other necessities that are provided for the player; tees, alignments and a clean towel. The stand also keeps the range looking organized and gives the players a good personal space to practice.

So, what are some questions that you should be asking before making the investment into updating the stands on your driving range? Here are 5 things that we’ve have put together that you should consider.

 

Material is the most important thing to think about because whatever you purchase, you want it to last more than a few years… Metal is the best choice because it will last the longest (7-10 year) (just say ‘no’ to plastic or wood). There’s very little maintenance involved (no staining). We choose to use only metal not because we don’t like the look of wood new, but because wood weathers and doesn’t look good for long.

Powder Coat -The type of powder coat that you pick determines how long your stands will last without refurbishing. It’s good to pick a textured powder coat that’s scratch resistant and one that we have an exact match for touch up paint. There are several powder coats that we can provide an aerosol can that you do a quick spray on a scratch. We have different shades of brown to give a wood-like look. The best seller is BR47 and is a semi-texture powder coat.

Weight -If you move the stands daily a great length you might want to consider a lighter weight bag stand or if you absolutely love the A-frame twisted metal, then you can move them around easily with dollies. Square tube will be lighter than twisted metal. If you only move the stands a short distance to mow, then any style/tubing works.

Storage -If you store the stands in a small cart barn in the winter, you might want to consider a bag stand that stacks well (upright bag stands & kick plate styles). If you have more room, then A-frame stands work great.

Cleaning -With RHI bag stands, we recommend wiping them down with a soft cloth. If there’s ever water stains, a cloth with a little denatured alcohol will work great or a gentle cleaner such as Goof Off Wipes. Like anything that you want to last, it’s important to take care of them by cleaning regularly.

Suncadia Project

by

It was great working with Suncadia on their driving range accessory project this season! Our shipping crew was shipping lightening fast and I didn’t get a chance to take photos of all of their products. So it was great when the Suncadia team sent a few. 

Here’s the few that I took at RHI Golf HQs. Their logo pops so nicely against the brown semi-texture powder coat. Then again I am partial to yellow..
