Did you know that the grass around the hole is called the table-land? It is know called the putting green; which happened around 1812. For the most part a player has to play a ball if it lands in a hole or other rough of the green. However a rule from 1952 changed the rules so a player didn't have to play rabbit scrapes. Normally the hole for golfing is about 4-inches in depth and about 4.25-inches in diameter. Greens-keepers use a special cutter that cuts the perfect round hole and pulls the chunk of earth out; it reminds me of a cookie-cutter.
