Rule 17 The Flagstick
Q: A person attending the flagstick removes
it and pulls out the hole-liner. The player’s ball
falls into the unlined hole. Is there a penalty?
A: No. And the ball is holed. “A hole
need not contain a lining.”
(Decision 17/7)
Q; A player plays a stroke on the putting
green and strikes the hole-liner when the flagstick is pulled
out. Is there a penalty?
A: No. The hole-liner is an outside agency.
If the hole-liner was moving when the ball struck it, the
stroke is cancelled and the ball must be replaced. (Rule
19-1b). If the hole-liner was not moving, the ball must
be played as it lies. (Rule 19-1) (Decision 17/8).
