Shallow Putting Cups

[Userbob2000]

I'm looking for any ideas on what I can use or where I can find shallow putting cups. I am installing a putting green in my basement along with the simulator. The subfloor is 3/4" thick Dricore and then the putting turf (3/8" thick) sits on top of that. I am looking for a cup that is 3/4"-1" in height. Any ideas?

I bought some standard cups off amazon and cut them down using my band saw. Works ok.

Can check these out too. Can go as short as 1/2".

Thanks for the tips. I thought about cutting down a standard cup and wasn't sure how that would work out. I also saw those short cups as well. I appreciate the comments!!

I ordered standard cups and cut them down on a table saw which made them very straight, got the cups off Amazon, two for $13. It also allowed me to cut them to the exact height I needed for my depth, I was concerned the pre-cut ones wouldn't fit perfectly.

Seems like cutting them down is the way to go. Great idea on the bandsaw. I was afraid the miter saw would make a mess of things.

I'd be concerned with losing digits to the miter unless you have some kind of jig to hold the cup steady for you.

Band saw is far less likely to grab and torque the cup.

you could always just drill a hole in the concrete and fill it back in when you move.

So, I ended up using a bandsaw to cut down a full-size cup. They look great. The next question is what kind of shallow flags are out there? I would rather them sit right on the concrete floor, but If I need to drill a small hole, I could swing that I think.
