Spray Caddie

Golf course spray applications require special care when applying liquid colorant, fertilizer, PGRs, or pesticides to a golf course green. The golf cup, left uncovered, becomes a hole where the application can puddle, leaving a stain, or worse, exposing crewmembers or golfers to the liquid chemical when they reach into the hole to grab their ball. If you’re stuffing a rag into the cup during spray apps, you know it’s inefficient, messy, and requires you to wear gloves. But there is a better way.

Spray Caddie™ Golf Cup Cover shields the inside of a golf cup during liquid spray applications on golf greens and multi-hole practice facilities. It works for any liquid spray app: colorant, fertilizer, herbicide, PGRs, & more. Here’s how to put Spray Caddie to work on your golf course:

Getting Started: Mount the Wand to Your Spray Rig

The Spray Caddie Starter Kit comes with three Spray Caddie Golf Cup Covers, a wand with a magnetic head, and two rectangular magnets. 

Step 1: Most golf course spray rigs have some kind of roll bar or metal surface near the exterior of the driver’s seat. Take the two magnets and attach them vertically,  roughly 8-inches apart, to the metal roll bar or metal surface at about eye level. 

Step 2:  Unpack the wand and one of the Spray Caddie Golf Cup Covers. Grasp the handle of the wand and, using the magnetic head, roll it over the white metal disc in the center of the Spray Caddie Golf Cup Cover. It will magnetically attach.

Step 3: Grasp the handle of the wand with the Spray Caddie Golf Cup Cover attached and position the wand vertically over the magnets, with the Spray Caddie Golf Cup Cover facing down. When the wand gets close enough to the magnets, you’ll feel and hear the metal wand adhere to the magnets.

Step 4: Get into your spray rig and drive to the first golf course green where you plan to spray. 

Spraying Golf Course Greens with Spray Caddie 

The goal of using Spray Caddie during a spray application is to shield the golf cup from getting any liquid sprayed inside the hole.

Step 1: When you arrive at the first green you plan to spray, park the spray rig. Get out of the driver’s seat, then grab the handle of the wand to remove it from the magnetic mount. The Spray Caddie Golf Cup Cover should still be attached to the wand’s magnetic head.

Step 2: Walk over to the golf hole on the green. If there is a flag in the hole, remove it, and place the Golf Cup Cover over the hole, making sure there are no gaps. With a roll of the wrist, disengage the cup cover from magnetic wand head.  Set flag out of the area to be sprayed. 

Step 3:  Walk back to the spray rig. Replace the wand to the magnets on the roll bar. Get back in the spray rig and make your application as normal.

Step 4: Once the spray app is completed, park the spray rig, get out of the driver’s seat and grab the wand. Walk over to the flagstick on the ground and, using the wand, slip the wand head under the flag to lift it up without having to bend over. Grab the flagstick in your other hand.

Step 5: Walk over to the golf hole with the wand in one hand, flagstick in the other. Roll the head of the magnetic wand over the Spray Caddie Golf Cup Cover to engage the magnetic connection. Lift the Spray Caddie Golf Cup Cover off of the hole. Replace the flagstick.

Step 6: Walk back to the spray rig. Mount the wand with Spray Caddie Golf Cup Cover still attached and drive to your next green to spray. Repeat the process until you’ve finished spraying for the day.

Spraying Multiple-Hole Practice Facilities with the Spray Caddie™ Caddie

Most practice facilities have areas for chipping and several holes for putting. If your practice facility has more than three holes, you might consider purchasing a Spray Caddie 3-pack or Spray Caddie 6-pack, which comes with a convenient Spray Caddie™ Caddie that holds up to 9 Spray Caddie Golf Cup Covers. These instructions are for the use of the 6-pack with Spray Caddie™ Caddie.

Step 1: Drive your spray rig to your golf course’s multi-hole greens complex. Park rig and step off.

Step 2: Walk over to the practice green, remove flagsticks from each of the golf cups. Set flags aside, away from the path of your planned spray.

Step 3: Grab the Spray Caddie™ Caddie and magnetic wand from your spray rig.

Step 4: Walk over to the nearest golf hole. Grasping the handle of the wand, slip the magnetic head over the top Golf Cup Cover in the Caddie. Lift it out of the Caddie.

Step 5: Lower the wand head, now with the Cup Cover attached, and place the Golf Cup Cover over the cup, covering the entire hole. Be sure there are no gaps. The Spray Caddie Golf Cup Cover is slightly larger than the cup and should cover the entire hole. With a roll of your wrist, disengage the magnetic wand from the center of the Spray Caddie Golf Cup Cover.

Step 6: Repeat this action for each of the holes on the practice green.

Step 7:  Walk back to the spray rig. Replace the wand to the magnets on the roll bar. Put the Caddie on the floor of the rig or on the seat beside you. Get back in the spray rig and make your application as normal.

Step 8: Once the spray app is complete, park the spray rig, get out of the driver’s seat and grab the wand and Caddie. Reverse the process, using the wand to lift up each Golf Cup Cover. As you insert the Golf Cup Cover back into the Caddie, use the handy release tab inside the Caddie to help disengage the Golf Cup Cover from the wand head.

Step 9: Once all Golf Cup Covers are back in the Caddie, store the Caddie and wand back on/in the spray rig.

Step 10: Grab the flagsticks and replace them into the holes.
