Cocktail Glass Holder Practice Green Markers
The Himalayas Putting Course is a very popular feature with the 36-hole membership during special events at The TwinEagles Club in Naples, Florida. In addition to the 18 checkered flag practice green markers, there are 18 custom-made markers that have four cup holders on each, placed adjacent to the practice green markers and numbered 1 to 18. The markers are made of wood, with a metal spike at the bottom to hold them in place, and the cup holders are made of composite material. The wood portions are stained, and the numbers are painted, at least once per year. Tee markers are not required, as the hole numbers are easily seen to provide direction to the next hole. Theft has not been an issue; they are repaired as necessary, and a few spares will be placed in inventory. The Himalayas green will be used much more in the future, as it will be lighted soon for nighttime events. Darren Gafford, director of agronomy, did extensive online research and visited the Streamsong Resort for the design concepts and then they were made locally.
