Vinyl Guard

Would you believe that the putting green flag sticks are as expensive as a normal size flagstick?  With our flagsticks looking a little worn and tired we searched for an economical solution to improve their appearance.  We purchased a product named vinyl guard and "sleeved" our original sticks.  They are holding up well and look brand new.  The process was quick and easy.  Clean the stick, measure the length of material required, slide the material over the stick, and heat via professional heat gun to "shrink" the vinyl around the pole.
