“I could see that happening on a very rare occasion, but the equipment used to core flagstick holes, is nearly foolproof as it relates to "depth". USGA Rules specify diameter and depth of the cup. The equipment doesn't allow someone to put the cup too low and placing a cup higher than allowed by the USGA is equally unlikely. “


I agree. My opinion, cups sitting high are more likely caused by tight flag sticks that raise the cup when removing them or people using their putters to retrieve the ball from the cup.
