Which brings us to another problem----horribly damaged edges of cups. People should learn to take the ball out correctly----gently place hand palm facing flagstick and carefully remove ball. Better yet, take the flagstick out before putting like we had to do for 700 years prior to the new rule. DO NOT stick your putter in the cup, carelessly use a suction cup or other such device, nor forcefully yank the flagstick out to get the ball to pop out. Thank you---now go do it!!!!!
