Does anybody know of a date when flags can be removed to putt? Or has any rule been passed yet?.......
England Golf are making no changes in this regard in their framework for playing golf from 19th May (pp. 3, 8).Does anybody know of a date when flags can be removed to putt? Or has any rule been passed yet?.......
Personally I'm quite happy to leave them in but it would seem odd that by may 17th we may be hugging someone, source M.Gove, but we can't touch a flag. Perhaps they may review a little earlier?I understood it would be reviewed in June when / if the Covid restrictions are fully lifted.

I'm looking forward to the official list of things you will be able to do with someone from outside your household at this point. A journalist could have a lot of fun at that press conference ?. Can we get Alan Partridge in for that?you may be allowed to hug but they have not said you can shake hands

Well, I'm sticking with fist pumps or knock of putter heads on 18th green. I will not be HUGGING players after the rounds as an alternative to hand shaking.you may be allowed to hug but they have not said you can shake hands
Which of course they do. Just some people can't accept that.............Oh god here we go again. Let's brace ourselves for 23 pages of whether flags need to be removed or not.
Yes thanks ,have had it done once r twice , was blowing a gale yesterdayYou do know you are permitted to have someone hold the flagstick steady using a club, I hope.
I was only making a query pal........I’m a +1 player and I know I’m not the only low player that’s having putting probs with the pins in. I’ve gave up playing until it can be sorted as I’ve developed the dreaded yips. Can’t seem to get a date that we can jump back on playing the game normally againOh god here we go again.

Are your greenkeepers also experts on the transmission of disease? Otherwise, what makes them more qualified in providing an answer to this than any other club golfer? If a golfer played golf 5 times a week, they'd have touched a flag 90 times in the week pre Covid. Maybe their "opinion" would be just as valuable as a greenkeeper. But still not considered as expert advice.I'm playing with our two greenkeepers this afternoon in a club comp. The have been touching flagsticks a lot - but not when playing golf - only when mowing and cutting new holes. I will ask them when they will feel OK about the rest of us handling flagsticks and rakes.
