Three to six holes, depending on their size, are plenty.

I agree and I should clarify my original post. I used to drill holes with a hand held drill but starting this season I used a large diameter screw hook.

The screw hook idea worked very well. I took three to four cups at a time and poked a small hole in the first one then began to twist or ""drill"" into the remaining cups with the screw end.

Your use of a BBQ Skewer sounds like an excellent idea as well.
