    Flagstick Usage

    What are the occasions where it is acceptable to have the flagstick lying on the green next to the hole, where you can use it as a backstop or something to have the ball run along where the ball could easily end up in the hole?

    Wow! I can't imagine it ever being acceptable. If it is I want to know about it

    I thought the hypothetical threads had been opened for this sort of question.

    My instincts would say none. The only situation i could imagine where it might be okay would be if your fc (or their caddie) placed the pin there.

    Not sure if someone else, either a playing partner or his/her caddy doing it would make it "acceptable". Seems to me that word is the crux of the question. Acceptable, as in no penalty to you, as opposed to acceptable, "legal" under the rules of golf. Close?

    Like when I found the flag laying across the green on the 14th at Avondale ....nasty sloping green , pin cut on the worst spot for my ball being thru the back of the green
    My mate goes to put it back , I yelled "ah ah , not till I've played onto the green"
