Part of our winter work involves painting, staining, coating and repairing our equipment that goes out on the golf course to assist you with playing your round of golf. With the arrival of March, time to get this spruced up equipment back out on the the course.

| We use a product called Vinylguard which is a vinyl shrink wrap material that is applied with a heat gun and placed on the flag poles. It renews them and improves their overall look. We also replaced the ferrule that fits into the hole making a tighter fit and helping to keep the flag in the hole during windy days. A new flag stick costs about $ 17.00 each. New coating and ferrule about $ 8.00 which allows us to get 2-3x's the life of the pole. |

| Same Vinylguard material is placed on the bunker rakes. Fiberglass rakes look fine for a few years but then begin to fade and splinter which is not pleasant on the hands. We cover them with the vinylguard giving them a new look. This material costs about $ 3.50 per rake. Much cheaper than buying new rakes and will last for at least 4-5 years. They can then be recovered for another series of years. New rake handles cost about $ 15.00 each. |

| Marine varnished tee markers which were brushed and dipped a number of times to get this great looking finish. We should not have to renew these during the middle of the season like we have been doing in years past with a standard clean coat sealer. |
