Hole Locations

Since most golfers putt with the flagstick in the hole, now that the USGA changed the rule, it has led to more wear and tear damage around the lip of the cup.  Below is a USGA article about this.  This also happens to be why we don't paint the top of the hole white like you see in the photo except for special events.  Personally, I think the white paint looks sloppy after after the first several groups play through, and the "crispness" of the lip is compromised.  This is a question I am asked about once or twice a year; members asking why we don't paint the top edge on a daily basis.
