The Poulter head cover was made by
Winning Edge Designs, which has made custom covers for lots of pros, but not in one's image 'til now. Some unique designs there!

You left out the most important part:
"Poulter contended that some plastic cups were less than one inch below the surface. That would mean a firmly struck putt would hit plastic at the back of the hole and bounce out, as one of Poulter's putts did at No. 1, where he made a bogey. After he putted out, Poulter repeatedly jammed the flagstick into the hole."
They showed the putt on GC last night...it definitely should have stayed in the cup. They then did a whole piece on how the holes are cut, painted, etc., as well as the position of the plastic cup in the hole...supposed to be 1 1/2" down from the lip at least, if I remember correctly.
