David Harrabin went to PING for an iron fitting and had a driver and fairway wood fitting in our indoor academy in September. David is now really seeing the benefits from these fittings, with some great scores. 

Winter is the perfect time of year to address the area of your game that needs improving.

Every now and again, we get asked a rules question that we may never have stumbled across before, usually one that is hard to find in the rules book. 

A player's ball was lying off the putting surface and they decided to have the flag removed before playing their shot. The flag was then laid on the green. 

The player then played their shot and the ball was deflected by the flag. 

What is the rule? 

Rule 17-3 Ball Striking flagstick or attendant. The player's ball must not strike: a. The flagstick when it is attended, removed or held up; b. The person attending or holding up the flagstick or anything carried by him; or c. The flagstick in the hole, unattended, when the stroke has been made on the putting green. 

Exception: When the flagstick is attended, removed or held up without the player's authority - see Rule 17-2.

PENALTY FOR BREACH OF RULE 

17-3: Match play - Loss of hole; Stroke play - Two strokes and the ball must be played as it lies. If you are ever unsure about a rule on the golf course, revert to rule 3-3 Doubt as to Procedure i.e. 2-ball rule.
