Abstract: A flag pole holder adapted for use in maintaining a golf flag pole in upright position indicating a hole on a golf green. The holder includes a cup having an upper rim surrounding an open top and is adapted to be inserted in the ground with the open top exposed. A pin is mounted in the cup extending upwardly toward the open top of the cup and terminating in a free end. The pin is positioned within the cup to removably mount an open ended flag pole thereon to hold the flag pole in an upright position with respect to the cup and facilitate its removal therefrom.
