Not checked in on this thread for a while.

What a shambles

Up there with the "where to stand on the tee" thread.

And people wonder why golf hasn't got the best image.

Keep trucking chaps

Its my place . If you ask me to tend I'll politely point out the rules have changed and it's now wholly unnecessary .
thats the right thing to do.

Sorry but Wrong - the right thing to do is to do what is requested by another player. You have no idea why a player may wish the flag attended, and it is not your job to guess.

HNSP was indeed an important discussion about etiquette and the wishes of the player about to play their tee shot.

So I reckon that would have dropped if the flag was out

I reckon that would have gone 8 feet past or more......
Only way that drops is of it hits the back of the hole, jumps a foot in the air and drops.
Virtually no chance in my opinion

I don't play on the PGA so 'in' or 'out' ain't going to change the luck I need when putting.

If I get to put first I prefer the flag in (because its probably a long put) if PP has taken it out for his/her shot I tend to carry on for the sake of the pace of play and reduce the 'traffic' around the hole.
