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!

Starting to look like Fall is here…

August 24, 2012 by Joy Ball

Not sure if Fall is really here yet, but the temps have finally dropped from the 90’s to the 70’s and the fair is in town, so it feels like Fall is just around the corner. In addition to still pounding through Antigua displays, here are a few more projects we’ve had around the shop this week…

First up is a ‘Mini-Monument’ for Westchester Country Club in New York. They host a PGA Tour event, and wanted a large monument that they could put plaques on with the winner’s names, etc. We’ve been discussing a large 6′ tall monument with them, and they wanted to see a scaled down version to see how it’s going to look. At this point, we may change up the colors a little bit, but other than that – here is a little 2′ tall version.

Next we built a set of tee markers for the golf team at Santa Clara University. Hopefully, we’ll get to do the rest of the West Coast Conference… :)

Here’s a mammoth entry sign for the new Rock Creek – Idaho course. It might look like one of our standard signs, but this has a 3″ tube post and the sign itself is 3’x3′.

We did a couple practice range clock signs for the Philadelphia section of the PGA:

And a couple different tournament awards. First we have another local charity hosting an event for the Gleason Project. They asked for an award plaque similar to what we did on the earlier trophies. Then San Luis Obispo asked for some replicas of their tournament tee markers that were slightly modified so that they could be mounted on a wooden trophy base that they were building. Great idea!

Have a great weekend!

Pimp My Ride – Golf Cart Edition

August 9, 2012 by Joy Ball

Here’s a fun little project we’ve been working on in our spare time (not that there’s much of it), the last couple weeks. Reid picked up a great golf cart, and we just wanted to trick it out a little bit.

Here’s the “before” shots. It’s a good looking golf cart, it’s even street legal with lights and turn signals, etc., but since custom golf stuff is what we do…

We started by stripping everything off of it. We covered everything with a gloss black vinyl, and then used some carbon fiber pattern vinyl for several accent pieces. New tires and rims, custom seats, a custom stereo/iPad dock and roof liner, custom built accessories and cooler boxes, etc. complete the look. Logos in key places will help this cart stand out on the course, and would be a great way to advertise your business. Contact us, if you’d like help fixing up your ride.

Is that Bigfoot in the background of that last pic? Never noticed that before…

We’ve also been working on a large order of point of sale countertop displays for the fine folks at Antigua clothing. Only a few hundred more to go…

More trophies, proximity markers and KP signs!

June 8, 2012 by Joy Ball

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!

It’s Member-Guest season!

May 31, 2012 by Joy Ball

In addition to some of the usual range signs, tee markers and other range accessories – it must be tournament season because we’ve been building a lot of trophies lately! It’s funny, apparently we’re not the only ones to really dig the copper color, as several of our recent trophies have all used it, too.

Up first, are some trophies we did for the Gleason Project charity event at Black Rock. Steve Gleason is a former NFL player, who grew up in the area. He is battling ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease), and has a foundation to help raise support and awareness for this disease. Here is a picture of their logo, and then some of the trophies we built based on that logo. The splattered paint was a lot of fun (and a little messy!), but these are one of our favorite trophies to date…

Then we had Member-Guest trophies for Gozzer Ranch and Manito Country Club – a couple of our beautiful local courses.

And finally (at least for trophies), we know a Pro at Sundance who is a skilled woodworker. He was building some wooden awards, but wanted a large, heavy, cut steel logo that he could mount to top of a piece for the Wounded Warrior Project. We cut this out of 1/4″ steel. It’s a beast!

Then we have several different types of range signs. These signs for Gozzer Ranch use their rustic, Western look and have interchangeable numbers for laying out yardages on the practice range. This sign for Waccabuc Country Club allows them to let members know the daily hours for the range, and they got another sign with the staff names for in the Pro Shop. These small signs for Castle Pines let them stake out Practice Areas and Teaching Areas, etc. Scott Klemme at Centennial asked for an adjustable stand that he could use on the range during lessons to put his iPad, etc. on.

Finally we have these new a-frame style proximity markers for The River Course. They also ordered some of the ‘standard’ proximity markers, but these ones are intended for use on the green. The a-frame can be set over the hole, and then measure to the ball.

Tournament Signs and Trophies, Tee Markers and Range Yardage Signs!

May 11, 2012 by Joy Ball

Here’s a few of the things we finished off this week.

First, we ended up with some pretty sick trophies for Wykagyl Country Club. They have one of the most elaborate logos we’ve ever dealt with, and they helped us come up with a unique 3D presentation of it.

Another tournament accessory is this sign for Greenwich Country Club. It has stakes to secure it into the ground. The top swivels like a music stand, and the plexiglass protects two sheets of paper – one to announce tournament pairings, and the other to list starting hole assignments. This is a great looking accessory that should help speed up pre-tournament setup.

Here’s a couple sets of tee markers. One with the fishscaled aluminum look for Sandia Golf Club, and a set that just came off the waterjet for the Philadelphia PGA.

Finally, we have this unique range yardage sign for the Vintage Club. They provided a map of their practice range and we created this multi-layered ‘map’ of it. The greens are coated in chalkboard paint, and they will be able to record the day’s yardages at each location. The backside has a plexiglass protection for them to insert poster-sized announcements and banners.
