Putting with the flag in the hole

[NearHull]

Wow, great week for you. Throw in Knaresborough as well and you have a wonderful Harrogate based golf trip ?(I may well have done that a few times ?)

Harrogate, Rockliffe and Torksey in the next two weeks, plus a few at my own course, Hessle. Happy days,

We have just installed 'lifters' to our flagsticks. Once putt is holed hook your putter around the lifter, lift - and out comes your ball onto the green - no touching of flagstick, cup or foam. Just don't lick your putter head.

Had them a few weeks but the metal supports can still deflect a ball out so it isn't holed. Trick is to turn them so they are face on

Which one have you gone for ?

Played the open at Haydock Park today .
On the start sheet it said you were allowed to remove the flag if you wish.
I thought that was banned.
Or is it a local rule at the discretion of the club.

Noticed today at Haydock the steel rod had been bent so it’s flush to the flag.
