| Hi Hypno,
This action is OK.
This is from the R&A 'Decisions on the Rules of Golf' book.
17-1/5 Holding Flagstick with One Hand and Putting with Other Hand
Q. A player holds the flagstick with one hand and holes a short putt, gripping the putter with his other hand. Is this permissible?
A. Yes, provided the flagstick has been removed from the hole and the ball therefore does not strike it. If the ball were to strike the flagstick, a breach of Rule 17-3a would occur. |
