I agree that’s it’s not really necessary, I prefer to leave it in from range, and take it out close up.
But if a PP wants it tending I’ll gladly do it.

You’ll have to explain that one ??
I play on a long, open qualifying course, with the, normal, 18 holes.

It always amazes me that people take up the game and then instead of adjusting themselves to fit in with the game spend more energy trying to change it to just suit themselves
It’s as if respect , integrity , standards are dirty words - I’m happy that Golf has rules and codes of conduct along with dress codes - gives people some guidelines to follow and maybe other sports should take notice.
Nothing to apologise for, everyone is entitled to an opinion.
The instances of people asking for the flag to be tended with have reduced and be rare but there is always someone that likes it that way and golf is good in that way that we always try and accommodate everyone

Isn't it lovely that those at the world handicap system took up the game and just left it as it was
And those who took up the game when women didn't really have a place on the course left it as the norm and didn't grow the women's game
And Augusta was never challenged for its caddies views everyone just respected it

Change is an important part of golf
History has it place but certain things are best left there forever.

Ah, yes. I somehow mistakenly thought you were tying racism, sexism, elitism in to the debate of leaving the pin in, or taking it out. It's a tenuous link, that I don't think plays well.

The rules regarding the flag have changed to give people more options not less. I don't understand your point.

I’m intrigued to know if those that want to change everything about the game actually enjoy playing it?

It’s the same as complaints about dress codes at certain courses and then declaring you wouldn’t play there because it’s too expensive as well
Thankfully with golf there are courses and clubs to suit all desires.

You’d think so, but reading this forum I sometimes wonder

Besides...with the device we have on the flag to lift the ball out of the hole I will always ask the player about to putt if he wants the lever ‘spun behind’ - as if I was tending the flag. This takes me time but is more time efficient than the player himself having to do it.
Tending the flag is just one of the things we do for other players, this one being something a player‘s caddy would do, but as mostly today we don’t play with a caddy it’s our responsibility - as is offering to ‘spin the lever’.
And if and when we can return to flag in/attended/out then of course we offer to attend or accept without question or thought, any request received.

Reminds me of the Glasgow/Edinburgh quip...from the mouth of an Edinburger...
Whats the difference between Edinburgh and Glasgow? In Edinburgh if you see a bloke walking down the street with a golf club, there’s a good chance he’s going to play golf. Oh hahahaha...??

I've played for years with the flag being tended and never been reported for slow play, neither am I a slow player. Tending the flag and slow play are not the same thing.
