A golf cup advertising device and method of assembly is provided. The device includes a golf cup unit having an axis, an insert disc for mounting within the golf cup unit at the bottom thereof and twist-on connection means for attaching the disc to the cup unit. The advertisement is printed on an upper face of the disc for viewing by a golfer or other person, after the flag is removed from the hole. The cup unit includes a cylindrical outer wall, which has an inner ledge, a tubular inner wall, and a plurality of ribs which connect the tubular inner wall to the cylindrical outer wall. The upper surface of the ribs and ledge having an angle of inclination sloping downwardly toward the center thereof. The disc has a lower surface with an angle of inclination which is slightly less than a rib surface angle, so that the disc can bear on the ledge before its assembly to the cup unit. The disc has a radially inner portion having a cylindrical inner surface. The tubular portion has an axial extension which has a cylindrical flange having a cylindrical outer surface. The disc cylindrical inner surface receives and faces the cup cylindrical outer surface and is coaxial therewith. The cylindrical outer surface has a plurality of equally spaced vertical slots which have respective tapered cam grooves with respective lock recesses. The cylindrical inner surface has an equal number of similarly spaced prongs for engaging the vertical slots and for passing through the cam grooves to the lock recesses upon the application simultaneously of a downward force and a twisting moement on the disc.
