See Rule 26 When this stroke is to be played from within the teeing ground the ball may be teed. See Rule 20-5a. Gail Rogers Driector of Education Dear Robert,

I thought there was no penalty for moving a flag stick that is about to be struck by a ball now. Thank you, Judy Gail,

In stroke play, though, the person putting recieves a two stroke penalty. See Rule 19-5a. Thanks for the question. Gail Hi Larry,
