Golf hole cup with golf ball ejection device

A golf hole cup with a golf ball ejection device comprising:

• a golf hole cup;
• a movable part accommodated in the golf hole cup, the movable part allowing a lower end portion of a golf flagstick to be inserted in and removed from the movable part, and the movable part being movable upward and downward with the flagstick left inserted in the movable part;
• a guide part that guides the movable part vertically;
• a drive unit;
• a transmission part that is connected to the movable part and transmits downward acting force to the drive unit;
• wherein
• the drive unit converts the downward acting force into upward acting force,
• the golf hole cup with a golf ball ejection device further comprising:
• an elevation part that is elevated upon receiving force from the drive unit;
• a bottom plate part that is connected to and is elevated with the elevation part;
• and
• an elastic body that biases, with elastic restoring force, a movable portion of any of the movable part, the transmission part, the drive unit, the elevation part and the bottom plate part, to make the movable part that has been lowered and the elevation part that has been elevated return to original positions of the movable part and the elevation part before the movable part having been lowered and the elevation part having been elevated, and
• the golf hole cup with a golf ball ejection device enables, in putting on a putting green, a golf ball to drop in the cup with the flagstick removed, and functions such that when the golf ball drops in the cup with the flagstick left inserted, the flagstick is allowed to be held and pushed down by hand, making the movable part pushed downward, leading to elevation of the bottom plate part due to an action of the drive unit, resulting in the golf ball having dropped in the cup pushed up to a level at or around a ground to be ejected, and when the hand is afterward released from the flagstick, the elastic restoring force of the elastic body makes the movable part, the elevation part, the flagstick, and the bottom plate part return to original positions of the movable part, the elevation part, the flagstick and the bottom plate part before the flagstick having been pushed down.
