? and ?No but the Equipment Rule has changed.
You also forgot to mention d****s
You have me on both there. I know I am going to feel foolish here but can you expand?

No - back spin or drop and stop. It would have probably stayed within a yard of the hole. More like drop and stop, one of the other players ball had completed plugged in the same area.

I just go with the flow. The only thing that irritates me is when someone asks for it back in on a short flat putt! I’ll maybe have it back in myself on crazy downhillers but some guys are obsessed with having it in every shot.

Ice cream also. Should have got some proper nibbles too.

Is it faux pas to put the flag on the floor? Must it be erect in someones hand?

Over last year we just got more and more used to just leaving it in all the time.
Yes it looks nicer rolling the ball into an empty hole but for us that was the only difference.
Flag is always in now.

It was a tee shot from about 140 (see original post).

I'd say our groups are now keeping the flag in almost all of the time.
Fewer and fewer people are taking the flag out, barring the wind blowing the flag towards you.

Ok, I'm a flag in type of guy.

All of my mates keep the flag in when teeing off on a Par 3 hole
I think quite a few are missing the point of the OP

Biggest issue I've seen with people holing out with the flag in, is that they then pull flag stick to remove the ball at the same time from the hole in turn causing damage to the hole edge.

If it's the tee shot then that's just unlucky and has nothing to do with the flag being in or out. Next time I'm on the tee on a par 3 I'm going to tell a pp that I want the flag out and see what kind of reaction I get...
