Here are a few things you don’t need to enhance the look and efficiency of your driving range with Bayco’s Original Pyramid Stacker:

  • An engineering degree
  • Deft hand-eye coordination
  • Superior aptitude in spatial relations

Building tidy, eye-catching golf ball pyramids is much easier than it appears, thanks to our innovative stackers. In just a few minutes, you can prep your range tee for tournament groups with a line of perfectly piled balls – just like the pros see during practice.

We offer the Original Pyramid Stacker in two sizes (91 and 140 balls). These two sizes of Pyramid Stackers fill a  plastic stacker tray or metal stacker tray. It takes all of four steps to complete the process:

  1. Place tray on the ground.
  2. Position the Original Pyramid Stacker on top of the tray.
  3. Pour balls into the top of the stacker, watch the magic happen.
  4. Pick up the stacker, and repeat with the next tray.

No heavy lifting. No flipping or inverting. No delicate, do-not-disturb movements. Just a quick, clean operation with results that will greatly please your golfers.

The stacker is made from welded steel (galvanized and stainless mesh), so it’s highly durable and attractive. Trays come in both lightweight, weatherproof plastic and welded steel options.

Engineering degree not included.

You don’t have to visit Egypt to see the Great Pyramids. In fact, you can build your very own – right on the driving range tee. In fact, golfers may flock from miles away just to experience these unique structures.

I’m not talking about massive brick monoliths like the Pharaohs erected, but piles of range balls arranged in pyramid form with our Original Pyramid Stackers. Presenting range balls this way may seem like a lot of work, since they all end up scattered across acres of turf anyway. But it’s actually quite easy, and makes quite an impression on golfers.

We offer the Original Pyramid Stacker in configurations for 91 and 140 balls, and it takes no time at all to set up a stack right on the tee. Simply place the stacker over its tray (available in plastic or metal), pour the balls into the top and voila, a perfect pyramid.

You’ll want to use the stackers any time your range is in use for free, such as tournaments or other outings. A range lined with tidy, shiny-white golf ball pyramids gives your facility the look of a tour site — and there’s nothing amateur golfers like more than being treated like pros.

Pyramid stacks are also much easier to manage than balls dispensed in traditional baskets or bags. Rather than dumping out balls by the dozen and leaving the leftovers lying hither and yon, most golfers will pull just a ball or two at a time off the pyramid. Those left behind remain neatly heaped for the next player to enjoy.

So cancel that vacation and get started building your own Great Pyramids. They’ll make that sloppy-looking range ancient history.

As our name implies, Bayco Golf is all about the “grand auld game.” But a lot of our products have applications far beyond the golf course.

The latest example is the revolutionary E-Z Stake system, which is popping up at outdoor weddings, parties, parks and many other venues requiring crowd control.

E-Z Stake makes roping off restricted or environmentally sensitive areas easier than ever. Its retractable ropes are attached right onto the stakes, and they never tangle. Connecting one stake to the next is as simple as hooking a loop to a post; no need for cutting to length or tying seaworthy knots.

Using E-Z Stake instead of the traditional rope-and-stake method can shave 75 percent off setup time. At day’s end, E-Z Stake is a breeze to take down and store – another huge improvement over conventional equipment. While efficiency is important on the golf course, it’s super-critical for one-day events like weddings, especially when nerves get jangled as setup crews juggle multiple top-priority tasks.

What other outdoor settings would E-Z Stake prove useful in? Let’s see, how about:

• Fairs and festivals
• Sporting events
• Farmers markets
• Trade shows
• Large family or corporate gatherings

And that’s just off the top of my head.

We’ve got a great video demonstrating how easy it is to set up and take down E-Z Stake. Have a look, and see how this product stretches Bayco Golf’s boundaries into non-golf territory: http://www.baycogolf.com/video

The only thing more frustrating than unsightly ground under repair is trying to rope it off.

At least, that used to be the case. Bayco Golf’s new E-Z Stake system eliminates the aggravation of tangled rope, uneven lengths and annoying knots in one fell swoop.

The key: retractability.

Unlike the traditional, rudimentary rope-and-stake setup, our patent-pending E-Z Stake features a rope compartment attached to each stake. The rope extends its case to a loop at the top of the stake, where it can be pulled to meet the next post. When it’s time for removal, simply unhook the rope and it glides back into the compartment.

How E-Z is that?

Compared to conventional staking methods, it’s a walk in the park. E-Z Stake is incredibly efficient, saving up to 50 75 percent of the time needed to rope off a restricted area or walkway. You’ll never have to battle a long stretch of tangled rope, cut the cord to make a proper fit, or tie intricate knots to ensure the whole thing stays together.

It’s also easy to traverse a wide area with the E-Z Stake by hooking two ends of rope together. You can cover 45-50 feet, no problem, without spooling out oodles of twine. The stakes themselves are a breeze to get into and out of the ground with the push/pull of your foot.

To get a better idea of just how much simpler E-Z Stake can make your life, watch it in action here: http://www.baycogolf.com/video

Leaning over to clean your shoes is kind of like paying taxes: a duty you should be relieved of once you reach a certain age.

Fact is, some seniors simply aren’t able to bend down and knock the dirt and clutter from their shoes before entering a building, like a condominium or assisted-living complex. With Bayco Golf’s brush spike cleaners, they don’t have to.

Designed to remove debris from between the spikes on golf shoes, our brush spike cleaners have proved very popular among operators of senior-centered residences and facilities. The cleaners work just as well on everyday footwear, like athletic or casual dress shoes.

Scrubbing your shoes is as easy as standing beside the cleaner, placing a foot on top of the brush and moving the shoe from front to back a few times. Repeat with the other foot and you’re done. No dirt, mud or grass to soil the floors inside. (Housekeeping crews love these cleaners, too.)

Our brush spike cleaners come in a variety of senior-friendly options, including a double-side model with a convenient handle for balance. Another model features a tray to catch the grime coming off shoes for easy disposal. The nylon bristles won’t damage most shoes and are easily replaced if they wear out.

Installing a brush spike cleaner at your facility helps keep your seniors healthy and happy while easing the maintenance staff’s workload.

Now if we could just get rid of that tax burden…

While some folks have a “take your shoes off at the door” policy for their homes, it’s not really practical for condominiums and other multi-tenant complexes. So these buildings fight an ongoing battle with dirt and debris dragged in from outside.

Some have found a solution in an unlikely place: the golf course.

Bayco Golf’s brush spike cleaners – usually stationed outside course pro shops and clubhouse entries — are designed to knock the crud off the soles and sides of golf shoes. But they work just as well on tennis shoes, sneakers, loafers and other everyday footwear.

With just a few kicks of a shoe through the cleaner, the brushes scrub away dirt, mud, grass clippings and other rubbish from the bottom. Some models feature bristles to clean the sides of soles, too. The brushes’ nylon tufts are non-abrasive and gentle on delicate shoes (though we don’t recommend them for stiletto heels).

Less dirt and grime mean less cleaning work for housekeeping crews and fewer dust particles polluting the indoor atmosphere. As our brush spike cleaners gain traction (pardon the pun) off the golf course, the whirring of vacuums and sweeping of push brooms will no longer be the first sounds you hear when walking into a condo lobby.

Nor will “Please remove your shoes.”

Our new Pro Hole-Cup features a hole within the golf hole. Look closely and you’ll see a tiny opening in the side of the cup, there for no apparent reason on first glance. Care to guess its function?

No, it’s not there to help the cup breathe. Nope, not for viewing eclipses, either.

The extra hole allows easy removal of Bayco Golf’s Internal Speed Wrap Liners. Just poke the tip of a tee or similar object through the opening, from outside the cup, and out pops the liner. Installation is just as easy. Slide the liner into place and press against the sides of the cup. Done and done.

Sounds a lot simpler than painting, doesn’t it?

Because the Speed Wrap Liners are such a cinch to put in and take out, your golf course can sport shiny white cups year-round. Add “replace cup liners” to your to-do list before big outings or club tournaments, or for regular play as often as necessary to keep them clean and attractive.

Frequent liner touch-up and replacement is especially important if your Pro Hole-Cups are adorned with logos or ads (explained in a previous post). The brighter those graphics, the more they catch the eye, and the more likely golfers are to notice them and respond – making your advertisers very happy.

And a happy advertiser is a repeat advertiser.

That little hole-within-the-hole is pretty significant, isn’t it?

Bayco Golf’s innovative Pro-Hole Cup and Internal Speed Wrap Liners provide opportunity not only to improve your course, but add revenue as well. The Internal Speed Wrap Liner golf course accessory can have logos printed on them, allowing you to reach a whole new advertising demographic.

Watch this video to learn the benefits of the Pro-Hole Cup with its interlocking ferrule, as well as how easy and quick it is to install and remove the Internal Speed Wrap Liner (hole cup liner).

Are your golf course’s hole-cups a source of revenue?

I know what you’re thinking. “Of course they are. Without holes, nobody would play.”

True, but let’s assume that’s a given. I’m talking about revenue generated directly from the cups via the ancient art of advertising.

That’s right, you can now sell ads in the one place golfers are guaranteed to see them. Our new Pro Hole-Cup Internal Speed Wrap Liners are solid white and wide enough to accommodate graphics. It’s really as simple as it sounds.

It’s no secret that marketers covet the golf demographic. Car dealers, financial service providers, jewelers, restaurants, travel agents – all itching to get in front of golfers and their sizeable household incomes.

But you already knew that, right? You’re probably selling space on your course’s scorecard, tee signs and cart-mounted GPS monitors (if you have them). In-hole advertising can be sold alongside these existing opportunities with little to no extra effort from you and your staff.

In fact, it may beat them all in terms of effectiveness.

Let’s say your course hosts 35,000 golfer rounds per year. Each golfer plays 18 holes, so that’s 630,000 total exposures right off the bat. Now consider how often a player peers into the cup on every green – more than once, right? (One study says it’s 50-plus times per round, per golfer.)

All told, in-cup advertising can generate millions of exposures in a single year. And that’s a potential revenue source you should take advantage of.

When the wind blows, flagsticks made with conventional ferrules can get downright, well, feral.

Wild. Untamed. Unruly.

Our locking ferrules — made for use Bayco Golf’s innovative Pro Hole-Cup — help keep flagsticks in place no matter how hard it’s howling.

(A ferrule, FYI, is the tapered piece on the bottom of the flagstick that couples with the cup.)

Anyone who’s spent much time on the golf course has seen what can happen when the wind is really whipping. Flags bend sideways, rocking to and fro, stressing the ferrule, the cup and the hole itself. Sometimes the pin will even spin in place. One good gust and out it comes, potentially damaging the green, the hole rim and the hole-cup itself.

Our locking ferrules eliminate this common issue. Made to replace existing ferrules on any standard flagstick, these little zinc wonders feature four small posts that lock snugly into the Pro Hole-Cup’s base. The tight fit reduces wind-caused wear and tear on both the ferrule and hole-cup, extending product life and reducing operating expenses. Or, if you are in the market for NEW Flag Sticks (all styles/lengths/colors) can be ordered with this ferrule included initially as well.

Don’t worry, golfers can still easily remove the pin.

Mother Nature will have no such luck. The wind can huff and puff all it wants, but it won’t blow your flags out.
