TEE MARKER BLOG: Invest in greatness!

by

When investing in tee markers, it’s important to look at durability and if there’s any maintenance involved. We design your tee markers to last about 10 years depending on how they’re taken care of. The powder coating that we use on the metal makes the markers really protects them from getting scratched and holds up well in the sun. 

 

Our big project this week was producing the double sided tee markers for Kissing Tree Golf Club in San Marcos, Texas. The multi-layered design gives these markers dimension, but since we use aluminum, they’re fairly lightweight. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next, are the in-ground yardage markers that we made for TPC Colorado.

We built directional signage for TPC Colorado, too. Their wildlife sign and stop signs turned out nice!

Also, this week we made bag stands for Silo Ridge, Keystone Ranch and Bel Aire Country Club. 

The other driving range accessories that went out this week are range dividers for The Country Club of the North, and then divot mix boxes for Hayden Country Club. Hayden CC is the home course of RHI Golf’s CEO, Reid Hatley. 

Summer is always filled with trophies. Here’s what the rhi crew has created this week. You can tell that our clients are diverse in what they want to give out as prizes.

Thanks for reading our blog. We hope you gained inspiration from it for your next project!

Blog: Tee Markers & Tournament Supplies

by

Let’s start today’s blog with tee markers. We make custom markers for everyday use, and ones specifically for tournaments. We made four sets for Menlo Country Club, and sets for TPC Colorado. We also made markers for the Illinois Junior Golf Association, and Siox Falls Men’s Golf Club. We also sent demo tee markers for Westwood Golf Club in Texas (they went with the black/white version). 

Tournament Supplies —

Here’s the tournament cases that we made for a few of our clients. The red one (Essex Country Club) is our new small starters box that we’re making now. 

Below are the proximity markers that we sent out. 

Here’s a peak at some of the trophies that we’ve made lately.

We’ve asked quite a bit lately for these custom barrel trophies. It’s such a nice award to win and fits the wine theme for some of our vineyard area courses. 

 

Below are the plaques that we made for a local course, Gozzer Ranch. The lake is our Lake Coeur d’alene. 

Here’s a couple of perpetual boards that we’ve done recently. 

 

That’s all for this week’s blog!

Picking a Theme for your Tournament Awards

We are in the heat of trophy season with production being dominated my tournament deadlines. It’s like Santa’s workshop here, but for awards! Here’s a look at some of the trophies that have gone out recently. You’ll notice that some are very different from each other, even when for the same club. That’s because our sales team works with our clients to create unique trophies that you couldn’t get anywhere else which further brands the tournament 

Here’s THE GUSHER trophies for Shawnee Country Club. They had an oil theme going with this event. 

Whipporwill has been orders trophies for their Steamshovel Invitational for several years now from us. Each year we try to do something fresh with the design.

Champions Retreat did a re-order of their Member-Guest trophies. The trophy them on these was location specific with the state of Georgia for the flight winners, and then a specific tree at their club for the overall champions. 

Schaffer’s Mill did a logo trophy for their Men’s Champions Making the logo as the focal point of the trophy is good for branding and just looks good. 

The Bridges did their Chianti trophies with us. You can guess why their trophy theme was a bridge…

Bob O’link Golf Course booked several trophy orders from us. Their Member-Guest is logo themed and then their Harvest Home trophy for fall time as an apple theme (harvesting apples). 

Squire Creek wanted to use their tournament logo as the main theme, but also their club logo on the base. 

 

Sonnenalp Club did a shootout trophy with a cutout of a gun and then their logo. We also drilled ‘bullet holes’ into the base.

The River Club wanted to do a water themed trophy, so they picked a canoe. The champions earned canoes, and the flight winners earned paddles. 

Here’s a plaque that we did for a local charity, Idaho Youth Ranch. 

Windsong Farms used their tournament logo for their champion awards.

Spurwing did a re-order of their derby and Wing Ding Classic trophies this year. 

We will have more photos to share soon! If you want to book your next trophy order with us, please let us know. Thanks!

 

 

Trophies for every event!

by

The first week of June is the biggest week for tournament deadlines. Here’s a few of the trophies that are on their way to prize tables across the nation!

 

Wolf Creek’s players have liked their champion trophy that we did a re-order this year. 

Elmcrest CC will be giving out this tree trophy for their Member-Member awards. 

Champions Run asked for a rustic tree trophy for their Cottonwood Classic champion, and then a more polished look for their Member-Member champion. 

Skagit Golf & Country Club re-ordered their ‘Skagit Open’ awards for 2018. 

Pine Canyon took the shootout theme to the next level with these trophies. They turned out amazing!!

Warner Truck worked with us on the design of these fun event themed trophies. 

Sometimes tournaments are food themed/named which is the case for The Tuxedo Club’s PIG ROAST awards.

Here’s a few awards that we did for Children’s Hospital Foundation, The Cliffs and horse race awards for Martis Camp & Windsong Farms 

Here’s the Azalea Awards that Blue Jack National will be giving out, and the bear trophies for Toscana Country Club. 

Below are a handful more that went out: 

We also build custom perpetual trophies and plaques.

 

Trophies!!!

by

As you’re planning your tournament prizes, think about giving your players an award that’s extra special; custom trophies that are unique to your club and event. 

 

We did a few last minute awards for the Private Course at PGA West that turned out really nice. The couples’ event had a jazz/flapper theme, while the ladies’ event had an Alice in Wonderland theme. The Pars Fore Paws of course had to have a paw print (: These were fun designs to create!

Frederica GC has a special tree on their property that they wanted to be the focal point of their trophy. These chose a light bronze color as their powder coat.

FSGA did a re-order of their shootout award that their players love. 

We did a last minute trophy for Gailardia’s Opening Day tournament. i really like the color combination of the gold and the copper vein. Notice how we engraved their logo on their flag. 

La Quinta Country Club did a re-order of their award, but for their Roadrunner event, we did a size change on the base. 

 

First time client Westminister National Golf Course did two of their events with us. I like how the engraving looks on their yellow plate for their ‘masters’ themed trophy. 

Waialae did a par 3 award with us, and With Open Eyes did a re-order of their shootout trophy. Desert Mountain also did a shootout themed award with replica bullets and a cutout of a pistol. 

Not only do you need awards for your events, but you also need a tournament case. 

 

Trophy Ideas

Setting up your prize table is another change to step up your presentation. It brands your tournament, so have fun with it. One of my favorites is what The Gallery (Troon) did awhile back. They had a shootout theme and you can tell that they had fun with it, because they included a saddle, rope, a western style blanket, etc. along with the pistol trophies that we made for them. Presentation truly is all about the details.

You can also use floral elements to dress up the look like Wyoming Valley and The Bridges at Santa Fe did; they both look good.

Or you can keep it simple with a custom table-cloth on the table like Pete Dye did.

And of course, having custom trophies from us at RHI Golf is a must.  We make you look good by creating high-quality and creative awards that you can’t get anywhere else. These awards tie in to the identity of your tournament and further the branding of your club. Generic crystal is something that everyone has seen, so setting yourself apart with creative awards that are unique to your club is an absolute must for a private country club in my humble opinion.

Here’s a look at the awards that we have made lately. First one is for University of Missouri and then the Superintendent’s Revenge trophy is for Squire Creek Country Club. 

Sunset CC’s players liked the awards that we did last year so much that they did a re-order. Here’s their double pistol shootout award and horseshoe award.

Squire Creek CC also did a par 3 award in the shape of their home state; Louisiana. I think that these location shaped trophies are a great idea. It’s great for the player who loves their state, and for the player who is from out-of-town. Good way to make the trophy from your club and destination stand out.. 

The pro from LedgeRock went to The Legacy and called us up about a last minute trophy. We were happy to make this. We tried out our black engraving plate on black trophy base with silver engraving. i think that it turned out great, and I really like the new flat black that we ordered (BK-08). It’s not so flashy like our gloss black that we have. 

Then there’s the Hillcat trophy that we built with multi-layers. 

Here are the eagle awards that we made for Stone Eagle and Ferris State University. 

The Old Course at Broken Sound did a re-order of their bridge trophies, but this time we made them smaller than past years and freshened up the design a little. Sometimes you don’t want to change a beloved award completely, but instead make a small change to give it a ‘new look’. 

Next, are the plaques that we did for The Cliffs at Keowee Springs, and the awards that we made for Duffing for Dollars tournament in Florida. 

Here soon we’ll be living and breathing trophies as spring season kicks in to full gear. If you have a last minute (a month away) event, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We’ll be happy to get your event deadline booked. 

 

Getting Ready for Spring at RHI Golf

by

While you may have been at the PGA Show in Orlando, we stayed back and got as many custom projects out the door as possible!

 

We sent out tee markers for TaylorMade to use on Demo Day at the show on Tuesday. 

 

We also made tee markers for Teton Springs and re-orders for Westin Kierland. 

Lastly, for tee markers made sets for GSGA. I like how nice their logo stands out against the white powder coat. 

For tournament awards, we made a re-order for University of Missouri and shootout awards for Sunset Country Club. 

Louisville Country Club will soon be getting their bag stands, club cleaners, and half barrel ball baskets. I love the green that they chose; it’s GN220 and has a durable hammer texture to it, so it won’t scratch easily.  It’s a great powder coat for driving range furniture. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next up is the custom easel that we made for PGA West. 

 

That’s all to share for now. We have several big projects in the works that we’ll soon be sharing. Have a great weekend!
