Installation of Putting Green

Step 5:  Install the Cups

For concrete installation, position and place your cups before the concrete sets.

Installation of a Skillbuilder Putting Green If you don't install a crushed rock base below the concrete or the limestone, consider digging a trench from each hole to the low side of the putting green. The trench should be filled with gravel or a PVC pipe to drain the water from the cup after a rain. Otherwise, water may drain under your putting green and settle there.

Position the cups on the sub-base in an arrangement that you like. Experiment with different locations. Continue to move the cups around until you are satisfied with their placement on the putting green.

If you predetermined the location of the cups and put gravel or PVC under the sub-base, mark the holes for the cups at their predetermined locations.

Installation of a Skillbuilder Putting Green Use a small shovel (such as a gardening shovel) to dig the holes as close to 4 1/4" as you can.  It is not necessary to dig the hole perfect because you can fill in around the hole after it is installed.

After cutting each hole, remove all excess dirt from the inside and around the hole. Fit the cup into the hole until it is flush with the sub-base material. Fill any gaps around the cup, if necessary. When you have installed all the holes, compact the sub-base around the cups again.

Now that your cups are installed, it is a good idea to check the sub-base one final time. Try a few putts and make sure the slopes and contours are what you want. This is the last point of the installation process that will allow you to make changes to the sub-base. It may be difficult to go back and make adjustments once the putting green has been installed.
