Tee Markers

We are building a new set of tee markers this winter.  They start as Pinon logs, are cut to shape with a chain saw, sanded, and a logo is added with a branding iron. The final step is to paint on the tee colors and seal with lacquer.

Beginning stages of our winter tee marker construction

6 Coats of lacquer and a single coat of paint

Finished product dipped in lacquer for a complete seal.



Elk Fencing

I'm often asked how effective a rope fence can be for stopping elk traffic on greens and tees.  I'm surprised myself how well it actually works.  Although it doesn't stop all of the elk, I would estimate it reduces traffic by as much as 90%.  It seems to work because there isn't anything the elk want to feed on in these areas so it is easier for them to just go around.  If they really wanted in, it wouldn't stop them.
