Before distributing the sub-base, consider the location for the cups. You should consider digging a small trench, under the sub-base, from the cup to past the edge of the green and put gravel into the trench or a PVC pipe, from the cup to past the edge of the putting green, so that water will drain under the putting green. The cups have holes in them and when it rains, water will drain into the area, under the hole, and saturate it.
Bring your crushed limestone sub-base material into the area with a bobcat or wheelbarrow and spread the sub-base material evenly, except in the areas where you desire extra depth, contour and slope. Use a shovel and a rake to distribute large amounts of sub-base material. Distribute it in 2" layers for purposes of compacting (see step 4). Use a yard rake to continue evenly distributing the sub-base material. Use the flat side of the rake to smooth out the surface. Be sure to allow for a slight slope for drainage off the top of the putting green.
To assure yourself that the sub-base is distributed to a depth of 4", you may want to frame the area with 2"x4"s.
Remember, you will need one ton of each sub-base material for every 72 sq. ft. or 12'x6' area of your putting green.
