Bear Cub Tees
We have recently added an additional set of tee markers to the golf course. The latest addition are th Bear Cub tees which can be found in the fairway areas. This new golf course setup was designed by Golf Professional Sean Mackin for our Junior Golf program.
The Country Club golf course is a very difficult course to play for kids just starting out, so the idea behind these new tees is to make learning to play more fun. These tees eliminate the need for forced carries which are present on nearly every tee shot out here and additionally the holes will be played from a reduced yardage. Hopefully this new setup will make the learning of the game more fun for the Club's up and coming golfing generation.

Building Tee Markers
The tee markers that you see on the golf course are hand crafted by the maintenance staff here at CCCP. Every winter the markers are prepared for the upcoming season of abuse from being exposed to daily irrigation and ultraviolet rays. The markers are completely stripped of varnish, sanded and the logos are re-burned. There are many times that new markers must be built and the pictures below will show the process.
The raw material is stockpiled
Tree limbs are cut to size
The broken tee collector is hollowed out
Holes are drilled for drainage
The logos are branded on
Varnish is applied in three coats
The finished product in use
