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.

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.

Driving Range Furniture

August 11, 2016 by Joy Ball

RHI Golf builds driving range targets that are easy to move, fun to hit and look great on your range. We started making these wine barrel targets for 1 course 2 years ago and then it just caught on to other courses.

Farm-Truck-Target-Cliffs-at-Mountain-Park

Starfish Yardage Hitting Target -BAKERS BAY DISCOVERY COURSE

Mini-hitting Target -Cherokee Valley Club

Wine Barrel Range Targets -Northwood Club

Golf Practice Targets -Blue Jack National

A-Frame Driving Range Targets -Peninsula

Driving Range Target Barrel Style--Isleworth

Driving Range Target Barrel Style -Shady Oaks

We’ve expanded our wine barrel product line to ball baskets, and tee holders. The ball baskets are easy to tilt towards you and scoop the balls out with your club. This is a creative alternative to the applecrates..

Next, we have to share the Pebble Beach tee markers done in natural rust with their logo stood off & Visalia’s lollipop tee markers.

We use to just make starter’s cases, but then we were asked to make the open tray. Here we go with Blackhawk CC in TX. What other company will design a new product line just for you?!

Rock Creek Cattle Company’s TROPHY PROJECTS:

The first 4 photos are for their Greens & Streams tournament.

We also did their Lariet Invitational trophies and a shootout trophy for a private event at their course.

It was fun doing the Raw Bar trophies for LedgeRock with the tuna and oyster.

For The Tuxedo Club’s Oak Leaf tournament, we made oak tree trophies out of steel rounds, so that the winners really have something substantial to grip. For their Folds of Honor event, we used the logo for the shape of the base.

Lastly, we have to share Victory Ranch’s Ladies Invitational trophies and Old Hawthorne’s Matchplay trophy.

Thanks for reading our blog and we’ll post again soon!

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.

Golf Property Furnishings & Supplies

June 23, 2016 by Joy Ball

PRACTICE FACILITY IDEAS

Having a professional looking practice facility is a must in the golf course industry. Range dividers are an inexpensive way to freshen up your driving range. First to show are the range spacers for The National and Ponte Vedra Golf & Resort.

Also, for The National, the crew made 12″x 12″ A-frames for their Closest to the Pin and Longest Drives.

THE GREEN BROOK PROJECT

Having a consistent look with your property furnishings is important to give the best image at your private course. The RHI crew worked with Green Brook Country Club to do just this.

The 1st thing that we concentrated on was their large directional sign .

For their clock sign, we made a hanging clock sign that’s double sided.

Next, are their bag drops that each hold 4 bags per unit.

For the shag bag racks, we went away from the textured gray, and did a navy.

For tournaments, Green Brook has custom proximity markers, tee announcements, and a perpetual trophy.

TOURNAMENT IDEAS

Let’s start with Broadmoor Country Club’s tournament tee markers.

We’re known for our unique trophies for tournament prizes. We got extra creative this month with the 3D awards.

1) Pete Dye’s 3D coal carts on tracks for their flight winners. 2). The Bridges 3D bridge trophies. We etched the stone work on these to make them look as close as possible to their bridge at their course.

HillCrest has an oil derrick on their property, which explains the theme of their trophies. Everyone at RHI hq’s loves these. They turned out better than we could have hoped for and are sure to get an amazing response from the winners.

We have more trophies to show: 1) Wolf Creek’s overall champion trophies that we engraved their trees into the base. 2). Radley Run’s Revolution Flag trophies. 3). The Cliffs at Walnut Cove did plaques with stands for their Men’s Member-Guest awards.

Then there’s Detroit Country Club who we made trophies out of their logo. TPC Riverbend has given away crystal the last 14 years, but this year they gave dimensional skyline trophies (Big Easy skyline). These trophies will be something extra special for the winners.

Oakwood Country Club did leaf trophies for their Knickerbocker event and 3D acorn trophies for their Acorn Classic. Notice how we can make very different looking trophies so that each tournament can have it’s own identity.

That’s all we have for today!

Tournament Prize Ideas

June 7, 2016 by Joy Ball

Can’t think of what to give your winners? How about a canoe or a VW bus? Really! Let your imagination run wild and create a unique trophy for next golf tournament!

First up is the the VW bus that we build for The Bridges at Rancho Santa Fe. We made red, green, blue and purple buses for their Ladies’ event.

The River Club did 3D canoes for the overall champions and paddles for their flight winners.

Below are the dimensional oak tree trophies for Champions Run.

Next, are the Member-Member trophies for Boulder Ridge and the derby trophies for Kissing Camels.

TEE MARKERS

We got to use the sparkle burgundy powder for Manhattan Woods’ tournament tee markers. The other event tee maker that we did is for Mountain Brook’s hammerhead shark tee markers.
