KP Signs – RHI Golf

It’s Tournament Season!

June 4, 2013 by Joy Ball

Summer is finally right around the corner and it’s obviously tournament season. I think everything I have to show this week is tournament related.

First up are a series of awards for a tournament sponsored by The Rib Crib (drool…). They did plaques for sponsors, mini-games like closest to the pin, and 2nd-4th place. First place winners got the small trophy, and they did one large trophy for the event Title Sponsor. We’ve been wandering around the shop just thinking “mmmm… Rib Crib….”

Then we did another set of these great awards for The Gleason Project charity event at Black Rock. They were a lot of fun this year, and instead of Black/White like we did last time they wanted Steve’s New Orleans Saints colors of Black and Gold.

The River Course had us do some of our custom ‘stumped’ trophies for their Men’s Inviational…

Spurwing in Boise wanted us to update their awards from last year.

The New Jersey and Philadelphia chapters of the PGA have an annual event called The Turnpike Matches. They had us create this perpetual award for their winners.

We had our usual assortment of Proximity Markers, Hole Announcement Signs, etc. which will greatly speed up your tournament – both during and after play.

And we did another set of Tournament tee markers for Sterling Bank.

Hope everyone’s events go smoothly and are a lot of fun!

Summer Time and Golf Course Accessories…

May 10, 2013 by Joy Ball

It’s crazy, but Eastern Washington and North Idaho are currently tied with Pheonix, AZ as the hottest spot in the entire country. It’s currently in mid-80’s which is unseasonably hot for around here this time of year. Feels like summer, but I’m sure it’s only temporary.

For as crazy busy as we’ve been the last few weeks, I don’t have very many pictures to put up. I’m going to blame it on the idea that the guys have been too busy to stop and take pictures, and not that I forgot to charge the camera battery…

First up, a perpetual trophy for the “Discovery Cup” tournament at the Madison Club. The big star on top turned out amazing!

Then we have a couple different tournament contest items. Some proximity markers for The Dutch, and some cool two-colored A-frame announcement signs for Greate Bay. The cattails are gold, and the rest of the logo is green.

Finally, a set of tee markers for Carmel Valley Ranch. The colors are unusual, but I like it. At least it’s not just red, black and blue.

Have a great weekend!

Wow, we’re busier than ever!

It’s been an incredible spring, and I haven’t been able to update things as often as I should. A lot of stuff in process, but here’s a few of the things we’ve finished and shipped lately. Lot’s of awards, trophies and tournament accessories like proximity markers and contest signs.

First up are some Tee Markers and some unique gifts/awards for a charity golf event hosted by Clint Eastwood. They did a full set of event tee markers, and these great custom hitch plugs as awards. Neat and very original idea!

These trophies and awards for the Gallery Invitational turned out great. Very cool contrast between rust/textured base and the gloss black and silver…

Here’s a perpetual award plaque for our friend Randy Henry!

Proximity markers and contest announcement signs for the tee box. These are a great way to speed up tournament play and operations.

A Teaching Area Only sign for the Practice Range:

And the top for one of our bag drops. They plan to mount this onto some existing posts. We can do this top portion, or a full bag drop with a lower rack and durable mesh screen.

Thanks for your support, lots more to come in the next couple weeks!

Trophies, Proximity Markers and Tee Markers!

March 29, 2013 by Joy Ball

It’s been an incredibly busy couple weeks, thank you for making the first part of this year great! Wanted to throw some pictures up of all of the stuff we’ve been working on lately. Lots of great trophies and other tournament accessories. Let us know if you see anything you’d like for your own course!

Let’s start off with three words….

“Great White Buffalo”

These great range targets are 6′ wide and almost 4′ tall. They’re for Huntsman Springs in Driggs, Idaho, you’ll see some other great stuff for them by the time we’re done…

“Great White Buffalo”

Now let’s get back to trophies and awards, the next three here are each for different themed tournaments at Huntsman Springs:

Then several tournament awards for The Gallery:

Here’s a giant six-plus foot tall trophy for Walt Disney World Golf’s Club of the Year. Each layer can be removed and/or added, kind of like the Stanley Cup!

Here are some great looking trophies for the Madison Club. I don’t mean to brag (well….), but they had a last minute glitch with their other awards maker – we designed and turned these out in less than a week!

Some cool “rock textured” ones for Martis Camp

And finally some awards for the Doc Cover Golf Classic charity event

Here are a few tee markers we finished for the Coeur d’Alene Public and Shorehaven

Some custom amenities/scorecard and towel boxes for Muttontown, and a podium for Huntsman Springs

A bunch of different proximity markers:

Some practice range “teaching area” signs for the Gallery:

And last, but not least, inground yardage markers for Gozzer Ranch:

Have a great weekend!

Spring Time?

March 8, 2013 by Joy Ball

Seems like Spring was finally here last week, and then we got some snow yesterday morning? Oh well, in at least one regard Spring is obviously here, and that is reflected in courses getting ready for the coming golf season! We’re busier than we’ve ever been – and having a great time building tournament trophies, contest markers, and all sorts of outside-of-the-box requests for everything around the golf course or Pro Shop! Here are a few of the things we’ve been working on in the last week – and lots more to come!

First up are a couple trophies. We built these trophies for Anthem last year, and they needed more for this year. Yes, those are real bullet holes in the Champion trophies. Will and I took them out in the hills, and brushed up on our marksmanship! Lots of fun… The other trophies are for Meadow Club, we’ve done them in the past – but they wanted something a little different this year.

We’ve had a huge number of proximity markers and tee marker contest announcement signs lately. There are a lot of them still being powdercoated, but here are some of them that we finished this week.

Here are a couple custom signs for the new putting course at Seaview. Lots of text, they’ll mount these to existing posts.

Here are some signs we made for the TaylorMade Performance Labs. There are several signs for them to use on the instruction range, where they can slide-in a sheet with the student’s name on it. Then there is a simple Hours of Operation sign. This logo turned out amazing! At eight (!) layers deep, it’s definitely got the current record for number of layers.

The Gallery asked us for some rolling racks that they could hang clothing from and roll in/out of the pro shop.

And finally, two completely different styles of putter/club racks – one for the Gallery and one for TPC – San Antonio.

Have a great weekend!

Sorry, it’s been a while…

February 21, 2013 by Joy Ball

We’ve been swamped for the last couple months, and I realized I haven’t posted any pictures in quite a while – so, here’s a few of things we’ve been working on… First off is some really cool tee markers we did for Brian Griffiths Golf Academy in the Netherlands.

We did a giant pile of range spacers for Des Moines Golf Club:

The Gallery has been keeping us busy here is a bunch of different items for them.

First up were some award plaques and a perpetual plaque for thier Member-Member tournament called The Compadre.

Then some custom signage for around the resort. A sign for the 9th tee to call in food to pick up at the turn, and another set of signs that go in front of their guest cottages where they can drop in a sign with the guest’s name, and a set of easels where they can put posters, signs, etc.

Some custom signs for Hayden Lake and Larel Creek. Laurel Creek has assigned parking spaces for their Men and Women’s Club Champions…

Hidden Valley asked for a couple different big sizes of their logo to mount on walls around the property. The big one is about 6′ wide, and the small one is 4′.

Some more awards. I posted the renderings for these in the previous post, here is the finished product for Osage National and Seaview…

There were some more custom course signage for Manito. They wanted signs for the Par 3’s where they could post the days’ yardages. What a great way to speed up play! We also did a pro shop sign and some proximity markers for Whitemarsh.

A really nice lady (and apparently a great wife!) called us to inquire about custom accessories that she could buy to give her husband as a Valentine’s Day present. Apparently he has a simulator setup in his garage, and she wanted some gear to help deck the place out. Here’s a custom sign, a range ball box, and a small table for him to set his laptop on. Happy Valentine’s Day, indeed!

Finally, our friend Kathy Jensen asked us to help create a unique piece that she could use for demonstrations at a trade show and awards presentation. We created this custom treasure chest. The interior is leather lined, and in the lid we mounted a digital screen that can display pictures and videos. This one was a lot of fun to build!

Let us know if we can help with anything to get ready for Spring!

New This Week!

December 13, 2012 by Joy Ball

Been a little while since I’ve posted some of the projects we’ve been working on, I’ve been busy getting our new brochure put together and our new stock item online store up and running…

First up are these tee markers that we did for Ball State University. These were a lot of fun and turned out great!

Next were a bunch of different Proximity Markers and KP signs (or Tee Announcements, whatever you want to call them :) )

Darien CC:

Floridian:

The Cliffs:

And some great new ones (including the new-style closest to the pin Proximity Marker) for Ocean Reef Club

We had a request for a “shadow box” type presentation for a hole in one award. There were places for the lucky ball, the scorecard, and a photo…

Some trophies for the Tumble Creek Cup:

New Tee Markers for Shorehaven…

Some replacement signs to go on the tee signs at Quintero out of polished Stainless Steel – will look great for a long time!

And finally new Tee Monument signs for Southern Dunes, which is owned by the Ak-Chin nation of Native Americans. Each sign contains the yardage to the hole from the tee box and other information, but then also the Ak-Chin name for the hole, as well as a translation into English. These signs were a lot of fun! They then took each of these signs and mounted them on custom brick/masonry walls and planter beds that they added at each hole. I’m sure they look amazing.

I guess that’s everything for now. There’s a lot of new stuff in progress that I hope we’ll get at least one more post up yet this year!
