Yardage Signs

September 26, 2016 by Joy Ball

RHI Golf makes quality yardage signs that are important for presentation on your range.

The crew can make 6′ buffalo targets like we did for one of the Discovery courses; Gozzer Ranch. Or we can go simplistic & classy like we did for the Peninsula. The yardage signs are also incredibly affordable, which is always a plus.

For driving range signs, the crew can make the flags interchangeable so that it gives you the utmost flexibility.

Then we did the range layout signs for Forest Highlands by using their layout sketch as reference.

We made a couple of starter’s boxes this week as well as scorecard boxes. Here’s the ones that we did for Peninsula and La Quinta. These are made of 1/8″ aluminum and are a great looking box that is more durable than anything else on the market.

The last photo that was taken of this style of podium was back when the guys use to take photos in the warehouse. Needless to say, I was excited to use the fancy camera on it.

For Sonoma, we made cart signs and a Staff Only sign. The colors tie in well together.

For Spanish Oaks, the crew made No Cart Signs and other informational signage.

We also made directional signs for The Creek at Qualchan GC & a local course, Circling Raven.

Saratoga National and Lexus teamed up for bag stands and broken tee boxes. These really turned out nice.

Tee Markers

First tee marker is for Shoshone CC who say that the moose are running off with their tee markers. It’s a first that we’ve heard of.

Below are tee markers for Woodmont’s South Course.

Does the tiger look familiar? It’s modeled after Tiger Woods’ head cover for the tiger tees at his U.S. Course Blue Jack National.

Below are tee markers for Silver Putter tournament and a private course.

Proximity Markers speed up the pace of play and give a professional presentation. 1. Course at Wente Vineyards. 2. Black Wolf Run. 3. DL

Fall/Winter trophies are in full swing: 1. Idle Hour’s. 2. Ponderosa Shootout for Bend G&CC.

Next, is the Captain’s Award for Black Bear Tavern, and the dusty boot for Shooting Star.

For perpetuals, we made a plaque for Jimmie Austin GC, and a trophy for Marine Memorial GC.

Marine Memorial LOVED their perpetual and surpassed their expectations that they had at time of order.

Lastly, we have ‘cattle brands’ for Spanish Oaks. The brands are something fun and unique to give winners. It’s also easy for the champions to store on a mantle, hooked on a wall or rested against a wall.

More photos soon to come . Follow us on Twitter @RHIGolf and Facebook for updates on what the top 100 US golf courses and 1,000+ clients are doing with custom fixtures on a daily basis. It’s a great way to get ideas for your facility!

Golf Driving Range Equipment & Range Accessories

August 2, 2016 by Joy Ball

We have a few driving range projects that we’ve been working on, & want to share. Range accessories are an RHI specialty.

VICTORY RANCH PROJECT

Victory Ranch has a consistent and clean look for their range with matching bag stands, range dividers, and amenities tray for their range cart (cart not pictured). We also made 20 Gal. trash can enclosures with the same coloring and logo style.

TRINITY FOREST PROJECT

This is a new course in Dallas, Texas that has a modern look. We’re often asked for rustic like the Victory Ranch order, but then we get requests that are opposite.

We make insulated coolers and cooler boxes at various sizes. This Keystone Ranch cooler box is our largest; 120 qt.

For Manchester (NH), we made a custom range box that a spot for their divot bottles, and a small shoe cleaning station.

The Course Wente Vineyards is ready for their bag stands and range dividers. These are going to look amazing on their range.

Here’s also the range divider that we did for Entrada and the Sand & Seed Rack for Turning Stone.

We did several hanging signs for Lakewood CC of Dallas, Texas. Here’s one of them.

A few courses have asked for easels that they use as leader boards with a plasma tv. These are also used to display signs/promo signs.

These are the tee markers that have just gone out for Plantation, and Woodmont’s North course.

Lastly, are the trophies that we’ve done in the last week. Notice how different each can be. The first two are for Rock Creek Cattle Company.

These two are for Oak Hills CC overall champions and flight winners.

Below are a few more.

Tournament Supplies

July 15, 2016 by Joy Ball

We have been tournament central here at RHI with trophies and proximity markers for the North’s courses. Come Fall and it will be the South.

The Haven CC did our standard trophy for their flight winners and an extra detailed trophy for their overall winners.
Here’s Old Hawthorn’s re-order of cowboy trophies.

3. Instead of doing plaques, we mixed it up and did a trophy for Kissing Camels.

4. Tuxedo Club did different themed trophies with us for their summer events while still having their text & logo placement consistent. 5. For Boulder Ridge we did 2 of their summer event trophies, but made each look completely different.

6. Then there’s the rat and light house trophies for Rhode Island CC. It’s a fun way of highlighting their logo.

7. Re-Order for Spanish Oaks.

8. Rogue Media did a completely different look than they did for their Ghost Tree Invitational. It’s polished instead of rustic. This is a great example of how you can use RHI for every event but make each trophy look unique.

9. Next, is Victory Ranch. They used this style for their Family Golf Day and their Club Championship.

10. Sword trophies are just fun & that’s what we did for Champions Run.

11. With this one we used Oakwood’s logo leaf and stood it up. We bent the leaf to give it a look of blowing in the wind, too.

12. It’s pig roast trophies for LedgeRock!

13. Why not give plaques for some of your events? Here’s what The Cliffs and Spencer G&CC did to get your creative mind going.

Proximity Markers increase speed of play and give a professional look to your tournaments. Here’s a handful that we’ve done lately.

Golf Property Furnishings & Supplies

June 23, 2016 by Joy Ball

PRACTICE FACILITY IDEAS

Having a professional looking practice facility is a must in the golf course industry. Range dividers are an inexpensive way to freshen up your driving range. First to show are the range spacers for The National and Ponte Vedra Golf & Resort.

Also, for The National, the crew made 12″x 12″ A-frames for their Closest to the Pin and Longest Drives.

THE GREEN BROOK PROJECT

Having a consistent look with your property furnishings is important to give the best image at your private course. The RHI crew worked with Green Brook Country Club to do just this.

The 1st thing that we concentrated on was their large directional sign .

For their clock sign, we made a hanging clock sign that’s double sided.

Next, are their bag drops that each hold 4 bags per unit.

For the shag bag racks, we went away from the textured gray, and did a navy.

For tournaments, Green Brook has custom proximity markers, tee announcements, and a perpetual trophy.

TOURNAMENT IDEAS

Let’s start with Broadmoor Country Club’s tournament tee markers.

We’re known for our unique trophies for tournament prizes. We got extra creative this month with the 3D awards.

1) Pete Dye’s 3D coal carts on tracks for their flight winners. 2). The Bridges 3D bridge trophies. We etched the stone work on these to make them look as close as possible to their bridge at their course.

HillCrest has an oil derrick on their property, which explains the theme of their trophies. Everyone at RHI hq’s loves these. They turned out better than we could have hoped for and are sure to get an amazing response from the winners.

We have more trophies to show: 1) Wolf Creek’s overall champion trophies that we engraved their trees into the base. 2). Radley Run’s Revolution Flag trophies. 3). The Cliffs at Walnut Cove did plaques with stands for their Men’s Member-Guest awards.

Then there’s Detroit Country Club who we made trophies out of their logo. TPC Riverbend has given away crystal the last 14 years, but this year they gave dimensional skyline trophies (Big Easy skyline). These trophies will be something extra special for the winners.

Oakwood Country Club did leaf trophies for their Knickerbocker event and 3D acorn trophies for their Acorn Classic. Notice how we can make very different looking trophies so that each tournament can have it’s own identity.

That’s all we have for today!

Tournament Prize Ideas

June 7, 2016 by Joy Ball

Can’t think of what to give your winners? How about a canoe or a VW bus? Really! Let your imagination run wild and create a unique trophy for next golf tournament!

First up is the the VW bus that we build for The Bridges at Rancho Santa Fe. We made red, green, blue and purple buses for their Ladies’ event.

The River Club did 3D canoes for the overall champions and paddles for their flight winners.

Below are the dimensional oak tree trophies for Champions Run.

Next, are the Member-Member trophies for Boulder Ridge and the derby trophies for Kissing Camels.

TEE MARKERS

We got to use the sparkle burgundy powder for Manhattan Woods’ tournament tee markers. The other event tee maker that we did is for Mountain Brook’s hammerhead shark tee markers.

Then there’s the A-frame tee markers for the Idaho Golf Association.

For the driving range we have the range dividers for Victory Ranch and Druid Hill’s amenities cart.

Here’s Colonial Country Club’s divot bottle rack. This is the deluxe version because it’s double sided for maximum capacity.

Lastly, is Union League’s scorecard box.

We’ll post more soon!

Taking Trophy Orders

May 23, 2016 by Joy Ball

TOURNAMENT GIVE-AWAYS

You can tell that we’ve been extremely busy with tournament awards last May. Here’s a run down on the custom trophies that built for the clubs’ special events. 1. Skagit. 2. Merion’s wicker baskets. 3. Roaring Fork’s fish trophies. 4. Whipporwill’s steam shovel trophies.

For the Big Sky Bird & Birdie, we did these 2 trophies that a little different from each other, but it ties in together with coloring and base shape.

For Rib Crib’s event, we did several smaller awards that will fit perfectly on the winners’ desk of mantle. Bigger isn’t always better in this case..

Lastly, we have Westchesters’ ladies’ barn trophies. The bases are designed to resemble like barn wood. Also, notice the new engraving that we are doing.

COURSE SIGNAGE

Looking for signs for your course? We make any and every kind that you can think of with your club colors and logo.

First up today are the custom par 3 signs for White Beeches and The Cliffs at Valley. Each of these has slide-in numbers and their own unique look.

THE DRIVING RANGE

The other signs that went out were the driving range signs for The Alamo and Druid Hills. Each of these signs was built based on what the clubs needed.

Next, are the range dividers that went out again for Sycamore Hills.

Here’s the bag stands that we modified the design for Forest Highlands to accommodate their players’ water bottles.

And then Happy Hollow’s bag stands that we cut their logo out on the front panels. The powder coat on this is BR47, which is the powder coat version of rust.

TEE MARKERS

For tee markers, we did A-frame tee markers for Black Bull. These will be easy to store and to see from the cart path.

Then there’s the tournament tee markers that we did for Byron Electric’s event.

STARTER’S PODIUMS

Colonial Country Club is getting their starter’s podium delivered soon. We custom built it for them with the slanted & hinged top, and back storage space.

Tournament Accessories

May 6, 2016 by Joy Ball

We’re excited to work with you on ways to make your tournaments memorable. First up, are the trophy projects that we have worked on. 1. Lighthouse perpetual trophy for Vineyard Golf Club. This trophy was modeled after one their local lighthouses to give the trophy that extra-custom look.

Next, are the overall and flight winner trophies for Sioux Falls and Lake Oconee.

Kissing Camels had us make their signature plaques and then the extra-fun derby trophies.

Another detail for tournaments are the custom proximity markers and contest a-frames. 1) Rhode Island CC 2) Royal Melbourne CC 3) Forest Creek GC

We have tournament tee markers and tee markers for every-day-use. 1) JGA of Broward Country 2) Northwood G tee markers 3) Tehama’s re-order of tee markers

Tournament name signs are something that we’re asked for once in awhile. Here’s the one we did for the Club at 12 Oaks.

The crew also shipped out this week HillCrest’s scorecard boxes on posts (logo is on top of lid). These boxes are easy to maintain with a towel, or to battle hard water stains use Krud Cutter wipes to give them a quick and fresh look!

Troon Country Club’s tee sign is on it’s way. Didn’t it turn out nice? These are made out of aluminum, and last much longer than granite at price that you want to pay!

For the range, the crew shipped quite a bit this week. Let’s start with range dividers & teaching dividers. These are 36″ long and made out of weather-friendly aluminum. Easy to stack and store. 1) TGC 2) Druid Hills 3) Pinewood
