Cup Setter

I have heard that a few members over the years believe that my set up team member doesn't use the the cup setter ... let me assure you that he does use it everyday and every time he places a new cup in the green.  So what happens to lift a edge of a cup on a green -- this can be several things from a greens mower team member being too lazy to get off their machines to remove the flag thus pulling the cup up slightly to what I see happening often is a golfer pulling the flag stick while walking and thus lifting the cup and thus the lip.  Even dull blade on the cup cutter itself can lead to an issue but this one is fixed when the cup setter is used.

We do everything we can to limit these problems but if you happen to find one lifted please contact me with the hole number so we can address.  Usually when this problem happens it is just one cup or two at the most.  That being said, I have found on numerous occasions the problem is the turf itself and a slow putt speed at the cup.
