Just What Every Course Needs… Advertising in the Cup
Amazing! Who would ever think to put advertisements in the bottom of the cup?
Apparently the inventors of USPN 7266916 did. The following is the description of their invention, as well as a figure.
A golf hole advertising apparatus comprises a housing countersunk in ground. The housing defines a cylindrical chamber with an opening for receiving a golf ball (not shown). The apparatus further comprises an annular display disc which is configured to fit through opening into chamber. The housing and annular display disc are provided with corresponding profiles which interengage through relative axial rotation to releasably secure the annular display disc to the raised floor of the housing. The annular display disc has a pair of diametrically opposed tabs on the radially inner periphery thereof. Each tab has a drive surface–which is accessible through opening–for transmitting applied torque to the annular display disc to engage/disengage the profiles.
