I agree that shouldn't happen. When you see something like that, contact the facility manager for the course. In the case of Sweetgum, it's the pro at Evans Prairie. They can get someone out to fix it. A damaged cup is not only a playability problem, it makes it more difficult when filling in the hole when changing its position.

If you don't know the facility manager, the starter or ambassador should.

One time at Roosevelt, the hole on #9 was right at the edge of the slope at the front of the green. It was like playing miniature golf. If you were short, the ball rolled back to your feet. If you were above hole and missed, the ball rolled all the way off the green. We called the pro at Havana and he sent someone out to move the hole.
