• Step 1: Roll a small basketball or rubber ball on the green to determine the effects of the undulations you have installed. This will help in determining where to install the cups depending on the desired breaks you wish to create. Experiment by placing the cups on the base and rolling the ball to each location until you have the desired locations
• Step 2: Using post-hole diggers, dig out the holes for the cups in the previously determined locations. Dig far enough down to ensure the cup will be 1/2" higher than the surface of the base when installed. This is important because it will help you find the holes once the turf is laid on top of the base.
• Step 3: Wrap the entire cup twice with wax paper or mylar seam tape and then tape the bottom of the cup with duct tape.
• Step 4: Place the cup in the center of the hole you dug and place Kwik-Crete cement evenly around the cup all the way up to the surface of the base. Pour water over the cement until it soaks in. Place the pin for the hole or a 30” pole marker in the cup to keep it level and eye the cup from all angles to ensure it is straight.
• Step 5: Using a hard bristled push broom, broom the entire surface of the base to ensure that there are no meter marks or dimples present.

You are now ready to move on to Turf Installation.
