I still think many folks are making too big a deal of it being left in. Similar to "ryg" couple posts back. I think too many are making too much of it as for strategizing when it comes out vs when it doesn't. I think having it be a decision is in itself adding an unnecessary element to the game.
But I really don't know what people are putting for? I mean (and its not anything rude when I say it)....but is this the open? and just how many strokes is anyone really gaining or losing per round average? And as I ve said, no matter which way you believe it helps or hurts more or not you would still (within that very minimal amount to begin with) have times it works the other way too therefore making even that much more meaningless.
I really just don't get the resistance. In some senses I feel like as if to say "get over yourself" as for all this nonsense being such the great decision that its risking losing the Open or ruining your rounds and handicap. I don't force people to leave it in and when im there and you want it out I will help. But honestly its a pain and im not leaving my chip or lag putt or lining up of my next putt just because someone just has to have it out. Without trying to be mean I think its just silly and too much is made of it. many folks (as ive mentioned) seem to be enjoying the little bit of freedom and easier flow not having to ever bother with it.
I don't get the logic to leave it in for long but then pull it for shorter ones. if its ok for a long one it should also be ok for a short one. The flag stick doesn't know your lag putting or not.
And so I guess....from afar your put isn't important but from 7 feet your putting for the win at the Open?
It’s a visual perception thing for me. Long putts you would have someone tend it so flag was in to spot the hole. Then it would get pulled as got close. Now- leaving it in is like someone tending it. Once I’m close, it just LOOKS bigger with it out and is less distracting IMO.

Agree 100%.This rule needs to change. I am getting tired of screwing with the flagstick when golfers have different preferences. It has the complete opposite effect and slows down the game. It was especially annoying in my amateur tournament last Friday. I felt like we were doing a dance all day on the green. Instead of focusing on putting we were focused on the flagstick.
