Tournament Tee Markers & More!

July 28, 2017 by Joy Ball

This week was the week of tee markers and trophies..

First off are the 5 sets of tee markers that we made for The Meadows at Mystic Lake.

We also made tournament markers for an event held at the Lake Forest CC. Their event had a tournament logo and a sponsor logo. We thought about making a double sided tee marker, but after thinking about it, we all decided to do 18 with one logo and 18 of the other logo for a sleeker presentation.

Then we made A-frame tee markers for the Remission Foundation event. This is particularly a great style if you need to stack and store them (perfect for event markers).

We’ve made trophies for Eagle Bend for years, but this year they wanted to add-on tournament tee markers to ramp up the presentation.

For awards we made juniper tree trophies for Pronghorn, mammoths for Snowmass and cowboys for The Club at Olde Hawthorne. You can tell that we make a wide variety of awards.. Each one is designed for our particular client to fit what works for them best.

We also make perpetual boards, here’s one we shipped for Toscana.

On the range accessory front, let’s start with signs:

Then there’s insulated coolers like the ones that we did for Sonoma.

Also for water solutions, we built a metal version of a teak beverage station.

Last to share today is the custom bench that we made for Pronghorn.

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.

Driving Range Signs Post

January 24, 2017 by Joy Ball

Opening Day is getting closer and closer for the Northern Courses, and we’re starting to see pros getting their orders for range accessories and awards in early. If you need your accessories for opening day, we suggest getting your order reserved in the next couple of weeks. Thanks!

Today’s blog is about driving range accessories. Let’s start with range signs. First, is the hanging range layout sign that we did for Piedmont Driving Club. Then there’s the signs that we refurbished for Circling Raven. If you have a sign from us, we offer a low-cost refurbishing program. Most of our courses don’t need refurbishing until year 6 or longer.

Then there’s the teaching sign for the Troon property, Westin Kierland. It has a movable base for easy moving.

Last on driving range signage are the clock signs that we did for Schaffer’s Mill and Laurel Creek Golf Course.

For course signage we did this menu sign for The Powder Horn.

The strangest things can get stolen, which is what happened to The Madison Club. Their sign went missing, so we made a new one quickly for them.

It was great working with Parkland G&CC. Here’s a look at how their different products tie in together with a consistent design.

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.

Tee Markers

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.
