A golf cup is installed in artificial turf which includes an aggregate base with a hole in the base by inserting an additional sleeve in the hole so that the sleeve is held in place against side to side movement and at a fixed height by engagement with the aggregate. The sleeve is engaged with the aggregate so that an upper circular edge of the sleeve is positioned at the level top prepared surface of the aggregate. A layer of artificial turf is applied over the level top prepared surface and over the hole and the sleeve and an opening is cut matching the inside diameter of the sleeve. A cup portion is inserted into the sleeve and engages a stop shoulder in the sleeve so that an upper lip of the cup portion stands proud of the upper circular edge of the sleeve by a distance substantially equal to a thickness of the backing layer of the turf.

A golfing game assembly for playing miniature golf games includes a plurality of cups, a plurality of poles, and a plurality of spheres. Each cup is truncated frustrum shaped so that a base of the cup can be positioned on a surface with the cup being stabilized in an upright configuration. Each pole is selectively couplable to a respective cup so that the pole extends substantially vertically from the respective cup. The pole has a flag engaged thereto distal from the respective cup. The spheres are hollow, and each sphere has a plurality of orifices positioned therein. A respective sphere can be positioned on the surface distal from a respective cup.
