Monster at Majette Tee Signs
Three generations of tee signs for an 18-hole course with five layouts. The 2020 letter-size signs, the 2021 strips built in Canva, and the current full-map signs whose fairway art also powers the course app.
A tee sign is the only documentation most players will ever read about a hole, and they read it with a disc in their hand and a group waiting. It has to answer three questions in the order they get asked: what hole is this, how far is it, and what’s out of bounds.
The 2020 signs were letter-size prints, one per hole, with both layouts, the hole’s monster name, the OB notes in words, and a sponsor logo slot. The 2021 generation was for a course that had just gained more layouts. Every hole needed a sign per layout, which meant 72 signs that had to agree with each other and be cheap to regenerate when a pin moved. So they were strips: club mark, hole, distance, par, and a colored band naming the layout, in a Canva file where changing a number was the whole job. Not beautiful, but consistent, and a volunteer could reprint a layout without me.
The current signs are the ones the course deserved. Each carries the Monster at Majette mark, both distances, the out-of-bounds rule in words, and a top-down fairway map with water, OB lines, mandatories, and the walk to the next tee. The course app shows the same map art on each hole page, cropped from the same source, so the sign on the tee and the screen in a player’s hand agree.
Hole 13. Par, distance, the OB rule in words, and a map that shows where the rule applies.
Hole 18.
The 2021 generation: one strip per hole per layout, 72 of them, built in Canva so a volunteer could regenerate a layout in an afternoon.
Hole 5, White layout, 2021.
The first generation, 2020: a letter-size sign per hole with both layouts on it, the hole's monster name, and space for a sponsor.
