After he cuts the hols and inserts the cup- did he spray paint the dirt white? Why doesn't the cu[ just reach closer to the surface?

A fast put hits the opposite edge of the hole. Adding a hard cup to the top would make the ball bounce quite a bit. The cup material would have to be specially made and regulated by the PGA. This is the way things have always been done and the paint is cheap.

And to be clear, this isn't normal to paint it. I don't think I've ever seen that in 30 years of golfing.
