here's the scenario
your putting up the green from 20 yds.
one of your your playing partners is tending the flag.
Off goes your putt...........tracking straight for the hole
Flag bearer isn't paying attention, because he is still holding a post mortem about his drive.
Ball strikes pin and finishes 6" to left of hole.
Flag bearer then springs to life exclaiming "2 shot penalty"
My view once flag is tended it becomes responsibility of the tender. therefore if it is struck by the ball no penalty should be incurred. (unless pairs)
This is an actual Happening..........good job final result unaffectected
