True or False?

1. Your ball lies in a greenside bunker, and you need to hole the shot to tie the hole in a match. Not wanting to risk having the flagstick deflect the ball when it might otherwise go into the hole, you ask your opponent to attend the flagstick for your stroke. Such a request is permissible.

2. In stroke play, your ball is on the putting green some 30 feet from the hole. You leave the flagstick in the hole and putt. Your ball strikes the flagstick and finishes one foot from the hole. You get a two-stroke penalty and must play the ball from where it finished.

3. You ask another player in your group to attend the flagstick for a long putt. After you play, the other player tries to remove the flagstick but is unable to do so as it is stuck in the hole. The ball strikes the flagstick. There is no penalty, and you must play the ball from where it finished.

4. In stroke play, you ask another player in your group to attend the flagstick for a long putt. You putt, and, not wanting the ball to go too far beyond the hole, the other player intentionally leaves the flagstick in the hole in hopes that the ball will strike the flagstick. The ball hits the flagstick and finishes two feet from the hole. You both get two penalty strokes, and you must play the ball from where it came to rest.

5. Your ball is in a deep greenside bunker, from which you are not able to see the flagstick. You ask your caddie to hold the flagstick directly above the hole before and during your stroke so that you can see where to aim. This procedure is permissible.

6. For a long putt you leave the flagstick in the hole, unattended. You play, and when the ball is approaching the hole another player rushes over and removes the flagstick, out of concern that the ball would strike the flagstick. The ball misses the hole by one foot to the side. Because the ball would not have struck the flagstick in the hole, there is no penalty to the other player.

7. On a par 3, you play a chip shot from just off the putting green for your second shot on the hole, and the ball comes to rest against the flagstick in the hole, with part, but not all, of the ball below the surface of the putting green. Your score for the hole is 2.
