An interesting problem arised at my club last weekend. A group of players agreed to putt out with the flag in. One player had a two inch tap in. Instead of removing the flag, he held the flag and taped in one handed. This is a two shot penalty as it is deemed you are bettering your stance. So becareful if you are going to leave the pin in, don't touch it unless you are going to remove it!

Interesting /. The same thing happened this morning at my Local Club.... I thought it was disqualification.....but it did not matter as it was a Friendly.

Thanks Paul for educating us .

No change to that part of the rules then.

Just goes to prove that if one part of the rules change, not everything changes.

Also on that point, it's an infringement if you take the flag out and rest it on your shoulder whilst putting (was, probably still is) but can't be bothered to go through the rules.

Ah, golf rules, quirky little buggers!!
