    Just looking for some suggestions and ideas on painting holes as it seemed to be a real struggle this season.
    We currently are using the Hole In White paint with the template/guide. We currently only paint holes for tournaments or special events which amounts to approximately 30-35 days each season. We have gone through a dozen cans of paint!! I have thought about painting daily but that would equate to about 6 dozen cans at this pace.
    Problems that I am seeing are:

    Wayyyy to much paint and it's dripping down the side of the cup to the bottom
    Nozzles not being cleared and cans being wasted due to this
    Nozzles being knocked out of can and lost

    I'm thinking/hoping it is just the staff I have this year or that maybe my new Assistant has missed something in training setup people. We continue to work on his ability to train staff properly and thoroughly.

    Thoughts/ideas/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    We paint every day of the season and go through 2.5 cases per year. We lucked out on getting the best paint applicator on the planet. No drips, no issues even for a novice. The guy who designed it I think is dead or at the very least has gone missing, but it would be the ultimate item for someone to duplicate and patent

    I paint every time holes are changed. I've tried numerous different applicators, Par Aide, Hole-in-white, Standard, and free hand. Standards hole painter is BY FAR the best, no drips, easy, minimal paint use. Only adds 10-15 seconds per hole to apply.

    EZ White works great here. Spray 3 times around, waiting 10 seconds or so between sprays so it dries and doesn't run. One can will get me through a tournament weekend.

    Standard product is the best, easy, fast, clean

    two quick sprays is all you need to do. Any more, you're just wasting paint.

    360 paint is what we use, and it seems to work fine.
