Tee It Up

One of the smaller things that we make here in the maintenance shed are the tee markers and the broken tee holders that you see on the tee boxes out on the golf course. Ever since we made the switch to concrete, the tee markers have held up better than the old wooden ones. The tee markers are made with three different types of concrete to help with a faster set time and to insure durability. After a good mix of concrete is made it is poured into the mold and after a day it's ready to be removed and set to dry. When the tee markers have set for a few days and have finished hardening we then put a coat of paint to identify where they will be placed out on the golf course.

The other thing that needs addressing this time of year are the broken tee holders. The didn't make it through the season last year. A lot of the holders were broken with pieces hanging out. This winter we are making 18 brand new broken tee holders. Hopefully they will make it through the season in one piece. Below are some pictures of the two projects in action.
