We wouldn't be having this discussion if The Villages had done what every other course in Florida is doing. PGA recommendation was to place a very short pipe in the hole, or to use a shorter depth cup. The ball still goes in the hole, but sits with about half the ball out of the hole so you can retrieve it without touching anything but your ball.
You still need to make the putt in this scenario, and the ball is only in when it's IN.
