Each winter we bring in all our green and tee equipment (GTE) for it's yearly maintenance. This is a pretty extensive process. In evaluating our tee markers and seeing the sad state many of them were in, we needed to make some changes. Our current fake pine log markers are expensive and with the amount that are damaged, I didn't want to spend the cash replacing them; we have far too many other areas we want to spend the money.
Several courses in the area are completing their winter tree work, so we ventured over to Whitford Country Club to pickup some pine logs to begin making our own markers. They are turning out fantastic!! Our new markers will be the same pine logs, but these will be real and give a new authentic look to our tee boxes. These markers will be significantly larger and short of someone having a chainsaw in their golf bag, will not break. I would hate to see the first club that meets one of these markers. Below are a few pictures from our process. These will be put on the course for the beginning of the season on April 1st.
