The eye-catching, wind-blown nylon pennants humanely deter geese and other birds from damaging the course, making a mess, and bothering players
Golf course superintendents are deterring geese and other birds from damaging the course, making a mess, and bothering players while beautifying the grounds with the Dori Pole Nylon Pennant System, offered by Consort Display Group.
The Dori Pole Nylon Pennant System is no ordinary pole-mounted flag or windsock. Instead, with a fiberglass pole and a 15-foot long or 8-foot long nylon pennant, it offers the industry’s only non-tangling, swiveling “yoke” bracket, which mounts eye-catching pennants that unpredictably “dance” in the wind to deter geese and birds from locating at golf courses. For golfers, the pennants can also indicate wind force and direction as an aid to match play.
With 15 standard pennant colors, 23 custom colors, 12 color pairs, and four pole heights from 12’ to 22’ tall, the long, elegant pennants flutter and rotate horizontally to the “whims of the wind.”
On a golf course, even a small flock of Canada Geese can quickly leave grassy spaces unusable, leaving it stripped bare, prone to erosion, and covered with droppings. Nitrogen content in the droppings can contribute to excessive algae growth in course water hazards. While the geese eventually migrate, they are likely to return to the same spot due to ample food, water, and nesting resources, and few predators.
The unpredictable movements of the wind-blown pennants quickly and humanely encourage geese and other unwanted birds to leave the property, preventing significant golf course grounds damage and clean up. More aggressive tactics that physically harm the birds are illegal, due to their protection by federal and state laws under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.
The Dori Pole Pennant System is easily installed for permanent or temporary display, completely weather resistant, and can remain mounted year round. Pennants can be flown near greens, fairways or water hazards. Country clubs can also use the pennants to attract attention at special events or to dress up the grounds or clubhouse.
The system can be shipped by UPS or FedEx, which is unique for poles and pennants of its size. Dori Poles are manufactured in Michigan.
