               The invention relates to a sleeve for a golf hole cup.                 
          Representative claims 1, 22, 25 and 29 read as follows:                     
               1. A golf cup apparatus comprising:                                    
               a golf cup comprising a cylinder extending from a top                  
          surface to a bottom surface, the golf cup including a wall                  
          extending between the top surface and the bottom surface, the cup           
          wall defined by an interior surface and an exterior surface; and            
               a cup sleeve disposed within the golf cup, the sleeve                  
          comprising a one-piece, seamless cylinder having an open circular           
          top end and an open circular bottom end and the cup sleeve                  
          abutting the interior surface of the golf cup without interfering           
          with a golf ball dropping within the golf cup.                              
               22. A golf cup sleeve comprising:                                      
               a cylindrical sleeve having an outer diameter dimensioned to           
          fit against an inner surface of a golf cup and an inner diameter            
          dimensioned so as not to interfere with a golf ball dropping                
          within the golf cup, the cylindrical sleeve having a one-piece,             
          seamless form wherein the cylindrical sleeve presents a                     
          substantially smooth inner surface when the cylindrical sleeve is           
          mounted within the golf cup.                                                
               25. A golf cup apparatus comprising:                                   
               a golf cup having an inner surface defining a golf cup                 
          sleeve mounting area; and                                                   
               a golf cup sleeve adapted to fit within the golf cup sleeve            
          mounting area without interfering with a golf ball dropping                 
          within the golf cup, wherein the golf cup sleeve includes an                
          unbroken cylindrical sleeve having an outer diameter dimensioned            
          to fit against the inner surface of the golf cup.
