Newest tee markers

Many years ago, we had wooden tee markers that were nice, but plain. Next, we upgraded to metal markers that were cut in the shape of our tree logo. After years with the metal version, it was time for another upgrade.

Tee markers, like most accessories on the course, can be customized. Although some golfers may not even pay attention to the look of the tee markers, the markers are still important. Every player must play from those locations on every tee. Having unique markers allows courses to differentiate themselves and add some flair to the experience.

Items like tee markers also wear out over time.  The old wooden markers were especially prone to deterioration. Water and sun were tough on the wood, even with several coats of paint and sealing. The metal style that we had for the intermediate years were much sturdier and resistant to the elements. However, the paint on them would still be peeling by the end of the season and would require work each winter. But we are hoping this newest style will be longer lasting, both in terms of holding up to Mother Nature, as well as changing aesthetic tastes.

Our new markers are made from colored, recycled plastic to match our existing tee colors. Our logo is etched into one side of each marker. They are very solid and should be the most tolerant of the elements of any of our recent styles. Water should not be an issue at all, and the sun should not cause them to fade either.

When a tee marker design is nice or too plain, is the time they are noticed most. Our new design is not plain, so we hope everyone enjoys the change.
