Cobblestone Golf Course was featured in the Marietta Daily Journal!

At Cobblestone, the flagsticks are still in the hole, but the greenskeepers have turned the cup upside down. It allows the ball to fall in, but it stays near the top, where it eases the ability for the player to retrieve it without having to touch the pin.

General manager Terry Harnage said the idea came after superintendents first learned that courses in Kansas were trying it.

So far, it has been a hit with the Cobblestone players.

“Our golfers have been super appreciative of us being open,” Harnage said. “When I ride around the course, I’ve seen nobody pulling the flagstick. Our players love the idea.”

The courses have even made it easy for players to pay for their round by having them come in contact with as few people as possible.
