New Tee Markers

One of most common questions I get this time year when I tell people that I am an assistant golf course superintendent is "What do you do all winter?" And while I am not here to bore you with the day to day winter work I would like to share one of the more exciting projects that our grounds crew has embarked on this winter.

We have revamped and in my opinion refreshed our tee markers. We started with 2 x 6 cedar boards, cut into six inch blocks. Then we routered out the stripe at the bottom and the sides to make an edge. Next, we traced the logo on each side and used the router again. We end the process with paint and a marine grade varnish which helps the marker withstand the rain, irrigation and UV rays. One of the advantages of this new design is you will be able to see the tee color from the cart path better, as the router stripe will be painted.

Unfortunately, I am not posting a completed picture today. You will just have to come out and play this spring to see the finished product. Although, there may be a sneak peak posted on our twitter page. @PantherGrounds

The whole staff has worked very hard on these new markers so we hope you enjoy the new style.
