ABSTRACT:
A flexible marker system includes a cup member having an aperture centered in its base through which a stake is inserted. The anchor has a tapered stem with two triangular anchor plates extending from the tapered stem. A flexible hinge has two opposing cylindrical members, one for receiving the upper end of the stake and the other for receiving the lower end of a rod. The hinge deflects in all directions. The rod extends upward from the hinge and is colored to indicate distance. A greens mower can approach the flexible marker system from any direction. When the mower encounters the rod, the rod will deflect via the flexible hinge to a position substantially flush with the ground surface. Once the mower has passed the flexible marker system, the rod will return to an upright position.
