KP Signs – Page 2

Trophies, Bag Stands and Miniflags!

October 22, 2012 by Joy Ball

Looks like it’s been a couple weeks since I updated this, but here are some of the things we’ve been working on.

First up are some great trophies that we did for Salishan. These start out as a piece of steel pipe that Will works his magic on until they look like old tree stumps. They’re heavy, but look amazing! We did individual trophies for the winners, and then some large perpetual trophies that they can add the winners’ names to each year.

Then we did bag stands for Whisper Rock’s practice range. This was a new design for us that they requested, but it seems sturdy, strong, looks great and is cost effective!

Here are some putting green miniflags for Quintero. I love this copper vein powdercoating!

Here is a sign for one of the private rooms at Hayden Lake CC. There is a place where the club can slide in a nametag for the person/group who has the room reserved.

Thanks again for a great summer season! Hope everyone has a good week.

It’s been a busy month!

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…)

More trophies, proximity markers and KP signs!

Here’s a quick look at some of the things that went out this week…

First up, we have another ‘wild’ trophy sighting. This is a photo sent to us by the Pro at Wykagyl Country Club. They love their new trophies.

Then we have a couple batches of proximity markers for Saratoga National and The River Course at Kiawah Island.

Friar’s Head in New York ordered some Closest to the Pin and Long Drive signs. These work great with the matching Proximity Markers that they ordered last year.

Tetherow, Pronghorn and Brasada Ranch in Oregon host an annual tournament called the Best of Bend. This is the second year that we have provided tournament trophies for them.

Should be a good weekend. Our shop superhero, Will, is getting married this weekend, so we’ll be running up to beautiful Sandpoint for their wedding Saturday night. Congrats Will and Erica!

Proximity Markers, Miniflags, Tournament Tee Markers and Trophies!

May 8, 2012 by Joy Ball

Sorry, it’s been a couple weeks since my last post. As everyone gears up for the start of the golf season (at least up North!), we’ve been swamped. Here are a few pictures of some of the things we’ve been working on.

Here are several different proximity markers at several different price points. The brushed aluminum cards look great and save you money. The custom raised logos are a great upgrade. The one for Roaring Forks is one of my favorites we’ve done yet.

Then we’ve had a couple sets of miniflags. One is for a corporate sponsorship for a charity event. What a great way to advertise for your sponsors!

We’ve also had a couple sets of custom tournament-specific tee markers. Both Framingham CC and San Luis Obispo asked for tee markers to help make their event memorable.

Finally, I know I posted some photos of the sample trophy we built for the River Club, but the finished items were completed yesterday. Jason added some bark texture to the bases, that – along with the handpainting- make these truly unique gifts.

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 Proximity Marker Design!

January 5, 2012 by Joy Ball

The best just keeps getting better! We’ve listened to everyone’s suggestions and made some tweaks to our Proximity Marker design…

It’s the same durable, steel holster with the pen and tape measure holders that we had before. That part hasn’t changed. What is new is the card. On the old version of the marker, the card and the plexiglass were seperate pieces. The card slid in behind the plexiglass – you wrote on the card, and the plexiglass protected the card from weather and sprinklers.

On the new version of the card, the plexiglass and the card are a single unit. Now you write directly on the plexiglass instead of the card. There are several benefits to this.

This gives us several new options for writing instruments. The old card was limited to wet erase markers, which are not that common. By writing on the plexiglass, you can now use wet erase, dry erase, grease pencil, even a Sharpie.
Dry erase markers, although they easily wipe up with a touch, are surprisingly durable in the wet. They don’t run in the rain or if they get hit by sprinklers.
A Sharpie can be used. To remove Sharpie pens, we suggest using Goof Off: Heavy Duty Spot Remover & Degreaser or Krud Kutter Graffiti Remover that come in wipes or squirt bottles (do not use the aerosol cans). These are readily available at stores such as Home Depot and Lowes. Do not use Xylene.
If in the event, the plexiglass does eventually become dirty or scratched, you can now cheaply and easily replace the plexiglass instead of having to replace your logo’ed aluminum card.
Because we’re no longer writing on the card, we can now make it any color – no more white cards only!

This is our ‘standard’ option that is used for Longest/Straightest Drive Contests. This is your custom logo on the card and both the card and the holster can be powder coated any color. This is a great addition to any tournament kit, and an exceptional value at $75.00/each!

5. We can take your design to the next level. Special requests like additional text cut into the card, multi-layer logos, additional color backplates, etc. can all be designed and accommodated. Contact us for pricing on these truly custom pieces.

Don’t forget that A-frame KP signs make a great pair with your proximity markers, and as we said in our last post, we’ve also designed new carrying and storage options for both the tee announcement signs and the proxies.
