Coming into the new season this year I was wanting to purchase new tee blocks because our old plastic ones were faded and the bottom stakes had broken off. After looking into purchasing new wooden tee blocks I figured it would be more then we could afford to do being that it would cost us $28 per tee marker and we would need, at the very least, 198 of them. So I looked for an alternative. Behind our maintenance shop we have a large pile of tree stakes left over from the construction of the golf course. I took a stake and made a 45 degree angle cut on two ends, put a couple of nails in the bottom, painted the ends and then varnished it. We thought that it turned out nice so we went all in. Matt Chase made us a nice jig for our miter saw so it would be easy to cut up the tree stakes uniformly. Next we had to figure out a way to line up the nails and get them pointing in the same direction so we came up with a second jig to make it easier on us. We then hammered in the nail and cut off the head. Lastly we painted and varnished them all. When it was all said and done we made around 300 tee markers because you always need extras. So for those 300 markers it cost us under $200 to make and I even made new range dividers too.
