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.

Northwood Club Project

December 1, 2017 by Joy Ball

We recently built the driving accessories for Northwood Club in Dallas, Texas. We worked closely with their team to design custom made driving range accessories. Every detail was carefully thought out to give the best presentation possible. Notice how each product has a beautiful copper vein powder coat and symbols from their logo.

Here’s what their driving range looks like this month with their new rhi setup.

We designed the bagstands so that the could use the trays for a bottle of water, alignment rods, tees and either a towel or a range finder.

This driving range sign has removable flags on it in case there’s any changes down the road.

Here’s an up-close photo of their range dividers. Because there’s a small space on the dividers, the course name often works better than the icon logo.

Because of how much activity is on their driving range, we built their ball staging baskets larger than we do on average. We’re custom, so we’re happy to work with the dimensions that you think would work best at your particular facility.

Broken tee boxes continue with the presentation, so we kept a high-level of detail on these for Northwood Club.

Below is the customer designed scorecard box/amenity box. It’s 100% custom, and perfect for their needs.

Then there’s the beverage caddie. In this case, we all felt that a ball cap looked better than adding a logo. Sometimes simple is best. It continues the presentation with the same coloring as the other products.

Here’s a couple of photos of their driving range box that we took at our shop. Half of its designed for towels, while the other half has custom dividers for amenities that they need on hand like bug spray, sun screen, athletic tape, aspirin, etc.

This Amenity Table actually comes from our driving range cart designs, but our customer didn’t need the wheels or cooler so we designed their product with just the ‘bed’ portion.

Lastly, is their bag drops, which they call their ‘Sunday Bag Rack’.

We’re excited to be in the works of another custom build for them. They have a beautiful course, and we’re happy to have had the opportunity to build their range accessories and signs.

RHI Products on ESPN

March 3, 2016 by Joy Ball

We’re on ESPN! This is a video of an 11-year-old making the first Hole-In-One at Tiger Woods’ course Blue Jack National. Our whole team was excited to see the tee markers that we made on ESPN. Also, see the red amenity stands (behind Tiger) and red directional arrows that we worked hard on!

Practice Facility Ideas

January 26, 2016 by Joy Ball

Hi! It was great seeing existing customers and meeting new courses at the 2016 PGA Show in Orlando! Thanks everyone for a great show!

First up are Bag Drops that we made for Troon Country Club. We based the design off their railings at their clubhouse to give a look that fits their image.

Time to update your practice facility? We make it easy and affordable to update your pf with custom range accessories.

Below are bag stands for Troon CC, Union League & Bloomfield.

We make club cleaning station with handles, but sometimes courses want to go ‘old school’ and do club cleaning buckets that hold 5 GAL of water. Also, Turning Stone Resort & Casino chose our 20″x20″ A-frames with clocks & logo for their Atunyote Course.

For Encanterra CC, we did our 1/2 barrel ball baskets. Doesn’t their logo look amazing cut out like that? Kudos to our water jet machine that can handle detail like that!

Below the basket are A-Frame Range Targets with yardage & logo. Notice how we’re using hinges now, which work store easily.

For Overbrook, we built a 2 arm Shag Bag Rack and a Putter Stand. These both give Overbrook a clean & consistent look.

Garbage Can Enclosures are something that every course needs & we make them at prices that can’t be beat! Below is a 32 GAL & 20 GAL trash can enclosures for Troon CC & then a 32 GAL enclosure with lid for Old Hawthorne.

We have a lot to show you for tournament accessories today. Let’s start with proximity markers. We did A-frame proximity markers for Spanish Peaks. For Waverly we did standard proxies (used for SD & LD contests) and A-frame tee announcements that will sit on the tee box.

Tournament Awards: We make trophies that are special and creative. Because of the care that we put into these, please give us 8 weeks of lead time. Thanks!

Derby Horseshoe Trophies -Anthem.

2. Locust Hill asked for replica 3D cannons on their awards. Aren’t these cool? It’d be fun to when one of these and have it on a display shelf at home or the office.

3. These are blue crab trophies with the base being shaped like a mallet. This was a fun project to work on.

4. Shootout Trophies for River Forest

5. 3D Bridge Trophy for The Bridges. I love how the base is shaped! Each of the awards will have bridges at different positions so that not one trophy will be exactly the same. It’s all about the details..

6. Skeet Shooting Awards for Abel’s Sporting Goods,

7. Shootout Awards for Anthem Country Club. The first photo for Anthem shows what we did this year & below is the style that we did for 2014 & 2015. Notice how just changing the base can give a fresh look to a well-received designed award.

8. Lastly, are the custom plaques that we did for Kissing Camel’s Camel Drivers’ event.

Find Your Unique Trophies

January 8, 2016 by Joy Ball

Check out what was said about us this week in the PGA Best Practice emails from our client Jarod Mills at LedgeRock Golf Club.

Come see the unique trophies and course accessories that we make at the PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando. Booth 3400. January 27th-29th.

USGA Mid Am & October at RHI

October 5, 2015 by Joy Ball

First up, let’s give a ‘shout out’ to RHI’s CEO & founder, Reid Hatley. Reid just advanced to the Round of 32 by knocking off the No. 4 Seed in match play at the USGA Mid-Amateur National Tournament in Vero Beach, Fla.

Our first ‘share’ are golf club scrubbers for the driving range for Wachesaw & Hasentree. These give the driving range a professional look. Pick your color and add your logo for a truly custom look!

Next, is a custom broken tee box for Entrada’s driving range that serves it purpose while looking classy. Then we have a driving range target in the shape of a pheasant for Legacy Ridge.

Below is a ball pyramid tray that we made twice for Wachesaw (the first time these burned in our warehouse fire). These trays will look great on their driving range!

The tournament prizes that your winning players leave with are lasting memories of playing at your course. That makes it especially important to give awards that look good, and are special to them & your course. Awards by RHI Golf will do just that. Northwood’s Oak Tree Invitational will be giving out nice looking oak tree trophies. Notice the detail that the water jet machine cut into the steel. Also, the base starts as a piece of 8″ pipe. The bark texture is actually weld slag. We joke that it takes a lot of talent to weld that poorly.

The players at Catawba’s 2014 Fall Classic liked their trophies so much that we have a 2015 re-order.

Same thing happened with Lakes at Castle Hills’ “Quest for the Grail”, and St. James’ “Cattail Classic”. For St. James, we did these 3D cattails for the ladies’ in the spring, which were well-received, so we are doing them for the men, too.

It is October, so it’s fitting to have an Oktoberfest beer trophy. Here’s one that we modeled after Ledge Rock’s design vision.

Below are tomahawk trophies for The Cliffs at Keowee Falls. It was cool to have a real tomahawk piece pipe to incorporate into a trophy. The guys were surprised when I walked in the shop with a Native American piece pipe!

As we start to get back into full production mode soon, you will be seeing lots more photos!
