Has your home course been open for the last few months or did they just open back up recently?
Show us your hole....

They've been open throughout, never closed down. They've been using inverted cups, just installed them back the normal way this weekend. I noticed it Monday when we played. Still no touching the flagstick, no rakes in bunkers, no sand bottles on the carts, etc. though.

The course I played yesterday had the cup inserts upside down. Seemed to work just fine.
I don't know how possible it would be to do, but I would like to see something used that had less bounce effect on the ball. I saw a lot of balls yesterday, although considered holed per the local rule, that still rolled a foot, or so away from the pin after hitting it.

The title of this thread remains all sorts of wrong.
anyway, my home course was able to get 18 fancy cup raiser thingies after only having a handful of them last week. Getting closer to regular golf with hearing/seeing the ball fall in the cup.

Another different experience today. Plastic discs. They were fine but did keep a couple balls out that would have went in. Still better than upside down or raised cups though
Ours were raised cups until today. Now this is what we have

Downfall of pool noodles...They float.
Had a good rain while out on the course today several cups filled up and loose noodles (lol) rose to the top.

So our course has those little lifter tools in the cups and they seem to be garbage. They get stuck you have to jam them back up or down and I've had to use my hand to get it back down a couple times. I'm wondering if maybe our course just got cheap ones, they don't seem to be high quality.

They’re maybe a hair high, but perhaps that photo may be subject to parallax effect more than I realized... I’ll try for a better shot next time I’m out. By my estimation, the ball is maybe 2 mm (1/16”) above the grass.

Interesting that there was one of 18 but it wasn’t there prior. Thought I took a pic but didn’t it’s the hands free ball retriever. Maybe my course is changing over, I hope. The upside down cup sucks.
Ball drops around 2 inches. I have had several bouncy out from hitting flag since it doesn’t drop enough.
