Hardware for the hole

Turn bare turf into a green where the ball drops

We make the furniture for the putting end: pins, sewn flags, cups cut into dirt and lights for the night. Six shelves, sold piece by piece so one torn flag does not mean buying a whole set.

Walk the shelvesMatch your ground

Pieces most greens begin with

Built around how greens actually get used

Sections unhook

Pins break down to ride in a trunk. Leave sections out when a tree branch hangs low over the hole, or run full height across open turf.

Sold one by one

Flags rip on fences and mower decks nip poles. You buy the single sewn tube or the one disc base you need, not a boxed batch.

One shared width

Shallow cups and deep cups share the same regulation diameter. A turf cover from our shelf fits the hole you cut last season.

Round stays lit

Hole rings slip down into the cup and pin beacons glow on top. Darkness stops stopping the game when the sun goes behind the trees.

From the notes

Tall pin or yard pin

A short pole suits tight putts across an ordinary yard. Tall pins cost more space to swing around, but you can spot them across a long lawn or over a rise.

The night shelf

Putting when the sun goes down

The cup vanishes first once twilight settles in. An illuminated ring dropped in the cup puts the target back in view, while a glowing beacon on the pin marks your line from the far edge of the lawn. An open C shape slips right around a standing pole without lifting the base. Lighted balls show where you landed when a putt rolls past.

See night putting gear

Setting up your putting space

  1. Pace the longest line

    Step off the lawn to find where your furthest putt begins. The distance from your stance to the target dictates what needs to stand on the green.

  2. Match the pin and cloth

    Taller pins suit long putts across open grass, while shorter yard sticks work on tight patches. Pick a mini flag for short poles and a full flag for tall sticks.

  3. Set the cup depth

    Decide whether your dirt allows a deep cup or needs a shallow drop. If you putt on an indoor mat or hard floor, set the hole on top without cutting.

Sizing poles and flags to your lawn

Compare the length of your putting run against the pole heights and flag styles that fit that distance. Pick the build that matches your grass.

6 ft Metal Golf Flagstick, Slip-Fit Joints

Put a real target into a patch of grass without leaving a permanent post in the yard. We build this flagstick out of five painted steel tubes that push together by hand and pack flat into a car trunk. The ABS cup sits flush in the dirt so the mower rolls right over it.

Figure your hardware by the hole

A complete setup takes one cup, one pole, and one flag for each target you sink into the turf. When a box lists a count, it matches that exact number of finished holes across your lawn. Check the breakdown below to match your yard layout.

Keeping putting gear in working shape

Sun fades nylon and soil works into threads. A little attention between rounds keeps each piece ready for the lawn.

Worth the two minutes

  • Bring flags indoors once the cold months arrive rather than letting cloth whip in winter gales.
  • Rinse dirt and clipped grass from joints so the pole sections pull apart without sticking.
  • Put a cover over the cup when play stops to keep the turf edge from breaking down.
  • Store disassembled pole sections flat in a dry corner so they do not take a set.

What wears gear out

  • Leaving nylon out through weeks of summer sun when nobody is putting on the green.
  • Twisting threaded sections together when sand or dry dirt is caught in the joint.
  • Running mower wheels across the rim of an open cup cut into the lawn.
  • Shoving wet flagsticks into a closed bag before the metal and cloth have dried.

The bench

How we build our catalog

We manufacture the target hardware and the parts around the hole rather than the clubs or standard balls. Flags wear down in wind long before metal pins fail, so we sell components separately as well as in bundles. Our cups share the regulation width across the line so pieces match. Measurements are clearly noted on the cards.

Deciding on the right parts for your lawn

The choice begins with your ground and the distance of your longest putt rather than cloth patterns. Some lawns have deep soil for a full cup, while thin turf over rock requires a shallow liner. Short yard greens look right with a compact pin, while longer runs across a wide lawn call for a taller pole that stands out from across the grass.

If you are starting on bare grass, a complete setup gives you the pole, flag and liner in one box. When you already have cups in the ground, you can replace a torn flag or a bent pole on its own. Check how your current cloth attaches before choosing a replacement.

  • Shallow cups and deep cups share the regulation width across the rim, so only depth in the turf changes.
  • A sewn sleeve lets cloth spin with the wind, while brass grommets fasten flat to poles with clips.
  • Tall sectioned pins can stand at half height on a small green by leaving middle sections out.
  • An open C light slips around a standing pole, while a closed ring goes into the cup first.

Where to begin

Start by looking at the turf depth and measuring the distance of your main putting line. Our green planner uses those details to narrow the options down to what works on your grass.

If you already have holes in your lawn, check how your cloth hangs and how your poles join. Matching the sleeve or grommet style keeps your setup working together.

Questions about the hardware

A few things people ask before driving a pin into the turf or replacing a worn piece.

Does a pole arrive with a flag already on it?

Poles on the flagsticks shelf arrive bare, without cloth or a cup. Full setups bundle the stick with a flag in one box. If you only need to replace a bent pole, browse the standalone stick shelf.

How do I know which flag attachment fits my pin?

Look at the top of your pole. If it has swivel clips or ties, you want a flag with brass grommets. If the pole is smooth at the top with a small cap, you want a tube sleeve that slides down over the stick.

Do I have to cut a hole in my lawn to use these?

Not necessarily. While a regulation cup sinks into the ground with a hole cutter, you can practice on open turf by standing a pole in a base or using an indoor practice ring on top of the grass.

How many flags and cups do I need for a yard course?

Each target location takes one cup, one pole, and one flag. If you cut three holes across your lawn, you need three full sets. Numbered or checkered cloth helps you tell the targets apart from across the yard.

Can I add a cup light while the pole is standing in the ground?

Our open C light drops straight into the cup around an upright pole without pulling anything up. Closed ring models require lifting the pin out first, dropping the ring into the cup floor, and setting the pole back down.

Will this putting hardware work on an indoor mat or carpet?

Poles with flat bases stand upright on firm indoor mats or office rugs without cutting the floor. Shallow cups also sit inside standard raised putting platforms if the mat has an opening.

Words from the lawn

“Cutting three cups into the back lawn changed our evenings. The turf-topped covers sit flush so the mower rolls right across them on Saturday morning without catching an edge.”

Dave M. · back lawn putting course in Ohio

“We set up two pins along the hallway runner for a team contest. The sectional poles packed down flat into my trunk when we wrapped up for the weekend.”

Sarah K. · indoor office putting event

“The open C lights drop straight in around the pins after dinner. The flag beacons stay bright enough to read the line from the edge of the patio.”

Greg T. · evening rounds in the yard
