Signs for Golf Courses – Page 15

Starting to look like Fall is here…

August 24, 2012 by Joy Ball

Not sure if Fall is really here yet, but the temps have finally dropped from the 90’s to the 70’s and the fair is in town, so it feels like Fall is just around the corner. In addition to still pounding through Antigua displays, here are a few more projects we’ve had around the shop this week…

First up is a ‘Mini-Monument’ for Westchester Country Club in New York. They host a PGA Tour event, and wanted a large monument that they could put plaques on with the winner’s names, etc. We’ve been discussing a large 6′ tall monument with them, and they wanted to see a scaled down version to see how it’s going to look. At this point, we may change up the colors a little bit, but other than that – here is a little 2′ tall version.

Next we built a set of tee markers for the golf team at Santa Clara University. Hopefully, we’ll get to do the rest of the West Coast Conference… :)

Here’s a mammoth entry sign for the new Rock Creek – Idaho course. It might look like one of our standard signs, but this has a 3″ tube post and the sign itself is 3’x3′.

We did a couple practice range clock signs for the Philadelphia section of the PGA:

And a couple different tournament awards. First we have another local charity hosting an event for the Gleason Project. They asked for an award plaque similar to what we did on the earlier trophies. Then San Luis Obispo asked for some replicas of their tournament tee markers that were slightly modified so that they could be mounted on a wooden trophy base that they were building. Great idea!

Have a great weekend!

It’s been a busy month!

June 29, 2012 by Joy Ball

Off to a great summer so far. Here are a few of the things that we finished up this week.

First up is a great set of practice facility accessories for the guys over at Tetherow. They ordered these clock signs, a complete set of yardage signs (20-70), and a hanging chalkboard for writing messages, etc. on.

Here are a set of KP signs for Salish Cliffs. They had a set of proximity markers to go with them (the KP signs and the prox mkrs make a great team together!), but they got boxed up before I was able to get pictures…

Still turning out trophies this year. Here are some gold and black ones for Leewood Country Club. This is a new gold color, with a great metallic look.

We did another couple holes worth of corporate sponsor tee markers for the great folks at Dunlap Golf Club. I think we’ve got 7 of their 18 holes covered so far…

Dos Lagos Golf Club had us do a couple custom signs for them. This sign goes on their 9th tee, and includes a phone number and has an insert where they can slide a menu in behind protective plexiglass. Players can look at the menu, call the number, and order food that will be ready when they make the turn. Great idea! (oops, just looked closer at the picture, looks like we had the wrong sign top on the wrong post. No problem, all of our signs/posts/stands are easily interchangeable so you can move them around your facility…)

Tournament Signs and Trophies, Tee Markers and Range Yardage Signs!

May 11, 2012 by Joy Ball

Here’s a few of the things we finished off this week.

First, we ended up with some pretty sick trophies for Wykagyl Country Club. They have one of the most elaborate logos we’ve ever dealt with, and they helped us come up with a unique 3D presentation of it.

Another tournament accessory is this sign for Greenwich Country Club. It has stakes to secure it into the ground. The top swivels like a music stand, and the plexiglass protects two sheets of paper – one to announce tournament pairings, and the other to list starting hole assignments. This is a great looking accessory that should help speed up pre-tournament setup.

Here’s a couple sets of tee markers. One with the fishscaled aluminum look for Sandia Golf Club, and a set that just came off the waterjet for the Philadelphia PGA.

Finally, we have this unique range yardage sign for the Vintage Club. They provided a map of their practice range and we created this multi-layered ‘map’ of it. The greens are coated in chalkboard paint, and they will be able to record the day’s yardages at each location. The backside has a plexiglass protection for them to insert poster-sized announcements and banners.

Trophies, Tee Markers, and Signage

March 23, 2012 by Joy Ball

Just wanted to show a few pictures of some of the things going out the door this week…

First up, we finished a pile of trophies for Anthem’s Member Guest – The Duel in the Desert. These have a new ‘wrap’ design we’ve done, and then the top plate is hand painted. The two champion trophies have hand-sculpted and hand painted cactuses, also. The copper color on these, is one of my favorites. These turned out amazing!

Doral Resort saw some of the sample ‘casino’ style tee markers we did, and decided they’d be perfect for a tournament event they were hosting. Here are the brushed aluminum tournament set we are doing for them.

Eagle Springs needed a few more of their tee markers. These are still one of my favorites.

We did this great hanging sign for the Golf Shop at Huntingdon Valley, what a unique logo!

We also built a couple of these A-frame style signs for Royal Oaks. They have a set of numbers that slides into the sleeve, so the Pro can indicate what time the range is closing today. These are double-sided so they can easily be seen from any angle.

Finally, we had a set of proximity markers for Kennett Square. They went with the brushed aluminum cards, which is a great look, and saves money over the powdercoated version.

Have a great weekend!

Tournament Awards and On-course signage…

February 7, 2012 by Joy Ball

Here are a few of the things we have in the shop this week.

First up is an award we did for Sterling Bank. This is the second year that they’ve had us build award plaques and trophies for their customer appreciation program.

Then we did a another bunch of signage for La Quinta Resort in Palm Springs. This time it was for their concession stand/snack bar area. Signs include directional signs to the stand, waterproof menu cases (one that hangs on the wall, and one that mounts on a pole which they’ll have on the tee box of the 9th hole), and a large sign for the stand itself.

We did a set of proximity markers and matching Closest to the Pin signs for Wingpoint on the Washington coast.

The Meadow Club ordered another set of trophies for this years Meadowlark Invitational Golf Tournament. This is definitely one of my favorite trophies that we’ve done.

We’re working on some tournament cases and scorecard boxes for Trump National. Will have some final pictures of them next week.

New “Casino” Course designs…

January 18, 2012 by Joy Ball

We’ve had a few requests from facilities that operate both a casino and a golf course for some tee marker concepts that incorporate a casino feel. Here are a couple design ideas, a large dice and a playing card. The large dice could have a course’s logo incorporated into one face of the die, and the playing card shown here has Circling Raven’s (a great local course and casino) logo.

Here’s a new bag stand design that uses some twisted steel. The twisted steel is very heavy and durable and is a great look for reasonably priced range accessories.

We use what we call “fishscale” (a process of grinding and polishing) on aluminum all the time. For this Barrington leather point of sale display we tried fishscaling some steel. It’s a more subtle look than on the aluminum, but I really like it.

Lastly, here’s a couple recent signs we’ve finished up for Malibu. The colored arrows against the natural rust looks pretty cool.

Happy New Year!

December 30, 2011 by Joy Ball

A little bit of a quiet week this week while everyone relaxes for the holidays. Which is good because we have a ton of new stuff lined up starting in January – it’s going to be a very busy first quarter.

Here are a couple signs we did for PGA West. Their custom signage, which features their 4 color logo looks great around the golf course. We also did some logos which will hang on either the starter’s podium or at the restaurant in the clubhouse.

Here are a couple bag drop and valet signs for Silver Rock Resort. The metallic silver finish looks amazing.

Finally, Berkeley Hall asked us to design a couple methods for storage and easy transportation of their new Proximity Markers and KP Tee signs. The KP sign case can easily be carried with you out onto the golf course as you’re setting up for your tournament. The Proximity Marker storage unit will keep your closest to the pin signs safe and secure between events!
