Golf Course Greens Cup Cover

Abstract

A temporary cover and method of use for a golf course greens cup when performing spray maintenance on a green consisting of a hand held extension pole having a magnetized disc disposed at one end and a magnetic greens cup cover disc magnetically attachable to the pole magnetized disc wherein the pole is used to place the cover disc over the cup during spraying and to remove the cover disc when spraying is completed.

1 . A temporary cover for a golf course greens cup when performing spray maintenance on a green comprising in combination:
 A. a cup cover disc comprised of waterproof material of a diameter greater than that of said greens cup;   B. a quantity of magnetic material attached to said cup cover disc;   C. an extension pole having a hand held end and a cup cover disc attachment end; and   D. a pole disc comprised of magnetized material attached to said pole attachment end whereby said cup cover disc and said pole disc will be attached to one another by magnetic force when said cup cover disc and said pole disc are brought into close proximity.   
     
     
         2 . The cover of  claim 1  wherein the diameter of said greens cup is 4.25 inches and the diameter of said cup cover disc is at least 4.75 inches. 
     
     
         3 . The cover of  claim 1  wherein said magnetic material comprises a pair of opposed planer magnetic discs disposed one on each side of said cup cover disc. 
     
     
         4 . The cover of  claim 3  wherein said planer discs are affixed to said cup cover disc by an adhesive. 
     
     
         5 . The cover of  claim 3  wherein said planer discs are affixed to said cup cover disc by a mechanical assembly. 
     
     
         6 . The cover of  claim 3  further including an additional disc mounted on one side of said cup cover disc of a diameter less than that of said cup cover disc and said cup to prevent lateral movement of said cover out of said cup. 
     
     
         7 . A method of temporarily covering a gulf course greens cup during a greens spraying maintenance operation comprising in combination:
 A. providing a cup cover disc comprised of waterproof material of a diameter greater than that of said greens cup, said cup cover disc having a quantity of magnetic material attached thereto;   B. providing an extension pole having a hand held end and a cup over disc attachment end, said extension pole having a pole disc comprised of magnetized material attached to said pole attachment end;   C. attaching said cup cover disc and said pole disc to one another by magnetic force by bringing said pole disc and said cup cover disc into close proximity;   D. Employing said extension pole, placing said cup cover disc over said greens cup; and   E. Separating said cup cover disc and said pole disc by rotating said extension pole towards the outer parameter of said cover disc.   
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 7  wherein the diameter of said greens cup is 4.25 inches and the diameter of said cup cover disc is at least 4.75 inches. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 7  wherein said magnetic material comprises a pair of opposed planer magnetic discs disposed one on each side of said cup cover disc. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9  wherein said planer discs are affixed to said cup cover disc by an adhesive. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 9  wherein said planer discs are affixed to said cup cover disc by a mechanical assembly. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 9  further including an additional disc mounted on one side of said cup cover disc of a diameter less than that of said cover disc and said cup to prevent lateral movement of said cover out of said cup.
