Summer Time and Golf Course Accessories…

May 10, 2013 by Joy Ball

It’s crazy, but Eastern Washington and North Idaho are currently tied with Pheonix, AZ as the hottest spot in the entire country. It’s currently in mid-80’s which is unseasonably hot for around here this time of year. Feels like summer, but I’m sure it’s only temporary.

For as crazy busy as we’ve been the last few weeks, I don’t have very many pictures to put up. I’m going to blame it on the idea that the guys have been too busy to stop and take pictures, and not that I forgot to charge the camera battery…

First up, a perpetual trophy for the “Discovery Cup” tournament at the Madison Club. The big star on top turned out amazing!

Then we have a couple different tournament contest items. Some proximity markers for The Dutch, and some cool two-colored A-frame announcement signs for Greate Bay. The cattails are gold, and the rest of the logo is green.

Finally, a set of tee markers for Carmel Valley Ranch. The colors are unusual, but I like it. At least it’s not just red, black and blue.

Have a great weekend!

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!

Wow, we’re busier than ever!

It’s been an incredible spring, and I haven’t been able to update things as often as I should. A lot of stuff in process, but here’s a few of the things we’ve finished and shipped lately. Lot’s of awards, trophies and tournament accessories like proximity markers and contest signs.

First up are some Tee Markers and some unique gifts/awards for a charity golf event hosted by Clint Eastwood. They did a full set of event tee markers, and these great custom hitch plugs as awards. Neat and very original idea!

These trophies and awards for the Gallery Invitational turned out great. Very cool contrast between rust/textured base and the gloss black and silver…

Here’s a perpetual award plaque for our friend Randy Henry!

Proximity markers and contest announcement signs for the tee box. These are a great way to speed up tournament play and operations.

A Teaching Area Only sign for the Practice Range:

And the top for one of our bag drops. They plan to mount this onto some existing posts. We can do this top portion, or a full bag drop with a lower rack and durable mesh screen.

Thanks for your support, lots more to come in the next couple weeks!

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!

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.
