So reddit is really angry at this. I can think of at least one thing being deposited in the hole that really merits getting really angry. Yeah, this sucks, but save your wrath because there are a lot worse things that can happen.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

I would say they don't cut cups very often at that place....or it's a mini golf place. Either way, first world problems. Reddit folks must be bored

could be worse. Consider the remote possibility of methane gas building up in a drainage pipe. Some idiot puts a cigarette down the holes.  KA Boom!  Caddy Shack all over again.

Playing over 40 years, and working at courses, changing many cups, I don't think I've ever seen this.

 Same here. I've found frogs, toads, small snakes and a condom. No cig butts though

My guess is the grounds crew was using it as an ashtray before they stuck it in the ground. 

I have to watch when I sit on the course benches, people tend to extinguish stogies there.

I was on a grounds crew for a few summers during college.  Kind of a crappy thing to do, but I've seen much worse done to/on a golf course.

I've never noticed cig butts in the cup. I have seen plenty of cigar butts strewn around the greens. It's pretty disgusting. Why?????

It's like a dog pissing on his territory?

Same here, I've never seen this in almost 40 years of playing and I've played some dog tracks in my day.

Not usually a problem even on my munis and the hacks that play it. There was one occasion where someone left a turd in a hole over on the Falcon (our par 3). Pretty sure it was human.
