You know the feeling when you are convinced you are right but can't find any proof..............
Whilst playing yesterday one of our group had a very short putt to complete the hole. With the flag in he hit the ball into the hole and in his frustration with the previous miss his exaggerated putter follow-through hit the flagstick.
One of the group was convinced this was a penalty as the ball was loaded against the flag but dropped into the hole when he struck the flagstick. I argued that part of the ball was below the putting surface when the putter hit the flagstick on the follow-through so the hole was completed but the sequence was very very short.
Before submitting the score we tried to find any reference to a club hitting the flagstick but couldn't - hence no mention, no penalty?
