It sure is nice when a project turns out much easier than anticipated. The fairway yardage markers have been on the to-do list for quite a while. They needed to be cleaned, painted, and raised, or so we thought. The numbers on these discs are actually a separate material, not a dye or paint. We brought in a few trial markers and our mechanic Santiago used some driveway cleaner to remove soil, grime, and iron staining that had the markers looking pretty rough. After an hour soak, we scoured them with a wire brush and sprayed on some high gloss sealant. The sealant acts like Rain X, beading up any irrigation in the morning and leaving a nice sparkle to the fairway markers. 
My favorite part of the this small, quick project was looking at the bermuda roots that creeped under many of these discs. The bermuda grass is gaining momentum and filling in nicely. On Monday, the fairways will get their first real shot of fertilizer, giving the rest the fairway a bit of a sparkle to match our shiny markers.
