Thought there might be some interesting ideas on how to solve, fix or improve common issues we encounter.
I will start with two;
1. Flag Stick Reflectors
I got this idea after seeing Commercial Flag Reflectors installed at another club. When I looked them up and priced them I found the average club was looking at $1k+ and for some options much more to install them.
So I got some Reflective Tape from Bunnings;

and installed it on our clubs flags (a single wrap just under the flag) and it worked a treat. That was about a year ago and the tape is still in place and working. You would probably have to renew it once year at least, But i have used less than half a metre of the roll so far, so a roll will last for a long time. I have since found a similar roll of tape at a discount store for $4! I handed the roll of tape over to our Course Director recently for the staff to take over applying it. No one seemed any the wiser and had not really noticed it. It is almost invisible, you have to know it is there really.
2. MGI Battery Slap.
I found initially that my Navigator battery wasn't a tight fit when installed and it was rubbing against the base during use, causing wear spots. I install some cloth tape over the spots and that had solved the problem. The battery now fits snug and the wear has stopped.
I have more I will post at opportunity. And I know there are lots more out there, so let's see yours!
