Abstract: A ferrule construction for a golf flagstick. The ferrule is secured to the lower end of the flagstick and is adapted to be engaged with the bore in the cup that is set in the golf green. The ferrule includes an upper beveled surface which engages a complementary beveled surface in the base of the cup bordering the bore, and a pair of circumferential rings or collars are located in spaced relation beneath the beveled surface. The double ring construction achieves an improved bracing effect against the wind, thereby maintaining the flagstick in a vertical attitude while providing adequate dirt and sand clearance between the ferrule and the bore.
