The USGA flags are a lot firmer than what players see week in and week out. It’s not going to keep a good putt out of the hole, but I’m still surprised to see players putting with the flagstick in at RIV. Would definitely have me worried about a doink off the pin.
@SmylieKaufman10 They ran the numbers.
The physics numbers.
Take the damn thing out.
I can’t watch them stand over a 6-footer, stick in, flag whipping - and feel any bit of good about it.
It’s hard to take the ladies seriously as they roll all these putts with the flagstick in.
We ran the numbers.
It measurably doesn’t help.
Windy day? Unnecessary distraction. I don’t get it. #USWomensOpen
You think Ryan Gerard is feeling it? Gets a little stick from the crowd and gives it right back as he pipes his drive down the fairway.
