Abstract
A method of using a golf cup advertising device includes providing a golf course hole cup advertising device including a removable annular advertising member having viewable advertising; and inserting the removable annular advertising member into a golf course hole cup. The golf course hole cup includes a central cylinder with a central hole to receive a pin and an inner ring and an outer ring separated by multiple holes having a substantially arcuate outer portion. The removable annular advertising member is sized so that the entire substantially arcuate outer portion of all the holes is exposed when the golf course hole cup advertising device is within the golf course hole cup.
Claims15
A method of using a golf cup advertising device with a golf course hole cup including a central cylinder with a central hole to receive a pin and an inner ring and an outer ring separated by multiple holes having a substantially arcuate outer portion, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a golf course hole cup advertising device including a substantially funnel-shaped base having an annular flange sized so that the entire substantially arcuate outer portion of all the holes is exposed when the golf course hole cup advertising device is within the golf course hole cup and a projection member extending downwardly from the annular flange to be received by the central hole of the cup and including a retaining mechanism to prevent the golf cup advertising device from being readily removed from the cup, a replaceable annular advertising insert disposed on the annular flange of the base, the annular advertising insert including a top and a bottom, at least the top including advertising, and a removable annular transparent cover disposed on the annular advertising insert that allows the advertising on the top of the annular advertising insert to be viewed by an observer looking into the cup and is removable to allow the replaceable annular advertising insert to be replaced;
- and
- inserting the golf course hole cup advertising device into a golf course hole cup by inserting the projection member into the central cylinder;
- and
- using the retaining mechanism to retain the substantially funnel-shaped base to the central cylinder to prevent the golf cup advertising device from being readily removed from the cup.

- and
- inserting the golf course hole cup advertising device into a golf course hole cup so that the entire substantially arcuate outer portion of all the holes is exposed and the advertising is viewable to an observer looking into the cup.
A method of using a golf cup advertising device with a golf course cup of a golf course hole, the golf course cup including a central cylinder with a bottom, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a golf course hole cup advertising device including viewable advertising, a pair of resilient, downwardly extending, incurved legs, and a retaining mechanism including a pair of ledges that extend outwardly from the incurved legs to catch the bottom of the central cylinder of the cup to retain the golf course hole cup advertising device within the cup;
- inserting the golf course hole cup advertising device into a golf course cup by inserting the pair of resilient incurved legs through the central cylinder so that the resilient legs are urged inward until the ledges clear the bottom of the central cylinder and flex outward to catch the bottom of the central cylinder of the cup;
- retaining the golf course hole cup advertising device within the golf course cup with the retaining mechanism so that the golf course hole cup advertising device is not readily removable from the golf course cup;
- using an instrument to disengage the retaining mechanism while the golf course cup is in the golf course hole;
- removing the golf course hole cup advertising device from the golf course cup.
