On-Course Fixtures

RHI Golf Recap of Last Week

August 12, 2013 by Joy Ball

Do you have a tournament that you want unique awards that your members and guests will never forget? I had an customer email me the other day referencing a golfing movie that their course wanted their awards to be themed as (Caddyshack). My point is, whatever your mind can think of, contact us. Also, shipping is fast because your order will be shipped 2-3 weeks after you first submit it. Isn’t that great?

Custom Trophies: 1. The Yellow Stone Club’s Member-Member Trophy. 2. “Giant Demolition Derby Trophy,” for Gozzer Ranch. This is the largest and one of our favorite trophies that have ever come out of RHI Golf’s shop. 3. Tournament Award for Huntsman Springs. 4. Custom Perpetual Trophy for a celebrity charity tournament, and then a Champion Plaque for Columbia Point

Range Accessories: 1. Custom Pin Location Sign done in ‘copper’ vein finish for The Cliffs. This dark chocolate look has been a popular request lately. 2. Range Sign for Calabasas, which has colorful icons on it, and easy-to-read letters on it. 3. Tee marker for a Merrill Lynch event. 4. Proximity Marker that has a built-in marker holder so that golfers can have a handy way of writing their name on it. This KP marker is for the Men’s Longest Drive. We can make Closest to the Pin markers custom for each golf course and in any color.

On-the-course fixtures are necessary for every golf course and give an added opportunity for the course to brand their course with their logo on it. Just email us your logo and what items that you are interested in order, and then our engineer, Jeff can come up with a few renderings to show you how great your logo will look on it. Spanish Oaks’ order is a great example of this. With their logo, even golf club cleaning stations and waste receptacles look good. Custom is the way to go.

1. Here is the Point of Sale Sign that we are designing for Honey Baked Ham. Point of Sale Signs are another way to brand, and they look good on a business counter by the cash register or front desk. 2. Herd of buffalo at RHI Golf. 3. Entire order of demolition derby trophies that are getting ready to be shipped.

Trophies, Signs, and On-Course Fixtures

May 24, 2013 by Joy Ball

We’re still running at full throttle, and here are some of things that went out this week. We’re doing a ton of trophies right now as everyone gets ready for their tournament season. Here’s a traveling cup to be used for the “Civil War” rivalry between Osage National and Old Kinderhook.

Also working on on-course signage. Here are some signs with interchangeable message plates for Wykagyl. There are multiple plates that hang on the same sign so that you can change the message from, for example, “Palm Beach Course” to “Course Closed”. We’ve used this same concept for Valet Open/Closed, Pin Location Signs, etc.

These are some Directional Signs for around the property at Whitemarsh. They plan to mount these onto some existing posts.

Some additional tee markers for Sterling Bank and putting green miniflags for Spurwing in Boise.

We’ve been extremley fortuante to have been chosen by Castle Pines to help them makeover their practice facility. Lots of different fixtures, furniture, etc., here are some from the first ‘wave’. We’ll be working on these for a few weeks yet.

Garbage Can Enclosures:

An Amenities station. There are several of these. They can be used for towels/sand and seed bottles, a catering/water station, etc. They can be built on a stationary stand or on rolling casters.

These are our first benches. Now I want one for my backyard!

Have a great Memorial Day weekend! We’re very thankful for those who have sacrificed so that we can all be free and happy!

It’s on like Donkey Kong?

April 26, 2013 by Joy Ball

Not sure what it is, but I have an almost uncontrollable urge to start hurling things around the shop like Donkey Kong. Oh yeah, I know what it is. These awesome barrell trophies that we just finished up for The Cliffs. Solid steel with a natural rust finish and hammered metal bands, these things turned out amazing!

Eagle Bend ordered some custom range spacers for between the stalls on their practice facility and a couple of large boxes that they can put bottle water in. These boxes are durable aluminum – so they won’t rust – and watertight. There is a drain plug on the side for when you need it.

Olympia Country Club ordered a full set of these tee markers. Thanks!

These yardage signs are for the Par 3 holes at LakeRidge. They can add numbers with the day’s yardages to really speed up play.

Finally, we have these proximity markers for Enger Park.

It’s Friday, with the best weather we’ve had yet this year. Plenty more to see next week! 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!

Happy 2013!

January 11, 2013 by Joy Ball

Happy New Year from everyone here at RHI, hope everyone had a great holiday season! Thank you for helping us have a great 2012, and we look forward to working with you in the coming year.

It’s been a few weeks since I put up any pictures of the things we’ve been working on, so here we go in no particular order…

First up is a perpetual trophy. Sea Oaks and Seaview have a tournament every year called “Battle of the Seas”. They asked for kind of a nautical themed trophy, here is what we came up with. Funny coincidence, but while I was just uploading these pictures, we received the following email from Brian Rashley, the Head Pro at Seaview – “Wow, is all I have to say about the Battle of the Seas Trophy… it blew my mind when I saw the size and detail. It’s awesome, and has been getting all sorts of attention…” Thanks, Brian, that’s what we love to hear!

The people at CRU Golf asked from some help building display pieces for use at the PGA Show in a couple weeks. For the big display sign, the white background is actually a large piece of white leather they sent us. The other piece is for them to display their custom headcovers. See you at the show!

Here are a couple sample tee markers and a proximity marker that we sent to Global Golf Sales. This might be one of the more ‘intricate’ logos we’ve done.

A couple of “Southern” Awards. First are some sample trophies and plaques for the SouthernSwing Tour, and the second is an award plaque for Southern Dunes.

The Gallery has been keeping us very busy with all sorts of projects. Here is a range yardage sign with removeable numbers, garbage can enclosures, clock and thermometer signs, new bag stands for their practice facility, and a set of ‘family tees’.

Some Bag Drop directional signs for the guys at TPC – San Antonio.

And finally, at least for now, we have some scorecard/amenities boxes that we did for the Vintage Club.

Range Accessories, Tournament ideas and Tee Markers

June 21, 2012 by Joy Ball

Here are a few of the things from around the shop this week.

In addition to the Gleason Event trophies that I posted earlier, they asked for some small, polished aluminum desk pieces that they could give as gifts to volunteers and sponsors.

The Dunlap Golf Club in Dunlap, Iowa had a great idea and is selling corporate sponsorships for each hole on thier course. We are creating custom tee markers for each hole with their sponsor’s logo. We’ve done 4 different holes so far, here are the latest two.

Here are a couple range accessories for the folks over at Tumble Creek. This is a great new A-frame bag stand design that looks great and is cost-effective. They also wanted a custom water-bucket that their outside service guys could use to clean clubs from cart to cart.

It’s been a great summer so far, and it’s only getting busier! Let us know if we can help with any of your custom course needs!

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.
