This is evil! I’d say no for me. If my playing partner hit that and wanted to count it, I’d give it a yes.
Is This a Hole In One?
I say count it but treat it like an ace on a par 3 course which we know aren’t real HOIs.

So I played Sunday to raised holes. Had a blinder, especially on the greens. I didn’t record the score though with the NCGA as I felt it wasn’t a true round. Reading some of the replies here, sounds like I should record the score.
I would send email to Corona Beer to get a hole in one bag tag!

You can write whatever you want if you and I aren’t having a match. I encourage you to post those even par and better scores, as well. But when we have a match we will be sure it will be on a course with properly sunken holes..Does that mean I can write all pars on the card, even if they aren't pars?
I love vanity handicaps... that is the one an opponent carries..

How would you advance passed the first hole?

Exactly
My friend was about 3 inches away on Saturday. I was watching for a change in direction for if it hit and bounced back or if it was rolling and suddenly stopped. I never saw it and figured it stopped just short. After hearing about the pool noodle I wish we would do that. It also takes out the oh that would have gone in vs that would have lipped out arguements.

The usga is beginning to address the new reality of playing golf in the current climate.

Brutal but no...
How you making a putt then?
Follow the "ball-don't lie" rule - flip the cup so it rests inside the hole, re-tee, and if it goes in it was a hole in one

In some instances, yes.
Putting just has to hit the cup. Again though, if there is enough force for it to make contact to go in, then there would be space between the ball and cup, even if it wasn't much at all. The group your with would have to determine whether you're playing that it just has to contact anywhere, or have to be deemed a putt that would have fallen. i.e. if the putt is on the low side and JUST nicks the raised cup, it probably wouldn't have dropped, so do you count that? makes for weird times.
I have played 3 different courses in the past week.....None are using this cup raising. Strictly speaking. It is not a HIO. Not per the RoG.
you also can’t guarantee putts/chip shots would have dropped, but with the new temporary ruling all shots hitting the exposed cup are considered to be made.

The way I am looking at Golf right now, is every time out is practice, and bonus. As well as a good time for testing. Score isn’t important right now.
nope, no way to tell if it would have fallen or stop like a putt hanging over the edge
I would say yes!

No. But I'd put a name to it as it's got to be rarer than a Double-Eagle. How about "Screaming Eagle"?
Heartbreaking no in regards to telling people I made a hole in one. But if I saw it bounce off the cup I would write a 1 on the card
I would have to agree with a no on the “hole in one” but if the ball did hit the cup, then it’s scored as a one.
