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!

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.

In the shop last week…

September 24, 2012 by Joy Ball

Here are a few of the things we’ve shipped in the last week…

First up are some additional signs for Wykygyl Country Club. They wanted some custom range signage that they could swap the numbers on to indicate when the practice facility was scheduled to close each night. They also wanted a sign to designate an area for instruction only.

Next we have a new bag stand design for Whisper Rock.

Another Arizona course, Firerock, had some of our first miniflags that we built. After three years of hard use, the finish needed some touching up. It’s easy and cost-effective for us to re-powdercoat our products and they are as good as new – ready for several more years of service!

The Grove orderd closest to the pin and proximity markers…

We did a perpetual plaque for a Ladies Club Championship at Loch Nairn.

Finally, one or our sales reps asked for a point of sale display for Bodega Harbor with the course logo and co-branded with the Antigua logo.

Hope everyone has a good week! Thanks for helping us have a great summer!

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…)
