New fairway yardage markers

For the past ten years we have used Kirby fairway yardage markers. They set up above the ground slightly and collapse when a mower drives over them. The one advantage they have over every other marker is they are easier to see. But the overwhelming disadvantage is the cost. They look good for one season but have to be replaced after two years of use. The cost becomes too high for the limited life span of the marker. We have chosen to install new fairway yardage markers that are made by the same company that makes our tee yardage markers. The cost is the same as the Kirby markers and should last at least 4-5 times longer.
The new markers look great too.
