  • Patent number: 5456203
    Abstract: An arrangement for mounting a stone golf course marker to a foundation and for mounting accessory equipment to a stone golf course marker is disclosed. A connector is embedded in a concrete foundation and comprises a pair of parallel spaced-apart rods interconnected by a cross member. The rods are maintained in predetermined spaced-apart relation by the connector, enabling corresponding holes to be drilled in the base of the stone golf course marker at the manufacturing facility. The mounting arrangement for mounting accessory equipment to a stone golf course marker includes the use of sleeves disposed within bores in the stone golf course marker, with mounting members of the accessory equipment engaging the sleeves, rather than engaging the stone golf course marker directly. This sleeve arrangement disperses stresses and helps minimize cracking, chipping and damage to the stone marker resulting from lateral stresses exerted on the accessory equipment.
