111 For purposes of this Rule, “deliberately deflected or stopped” means the same thing as in Rule 11.2a, and includes when the player’s ball in motion hits: • A removed flagstick that was deliberately positioned or left in a particular place on the ground so that it might deflect or stop the ball, • An attended flagstick that the person deliberately failed to remove from the hole or to move out of the way of the ball, or • The person who attended or removed the flagstick (or anything the person was holding), when they deliberately failed to move out of the way of the ball. Exception — Restrictions on Deliberately Moving Flagstick to Affect a Ball in Motion (see Rule 11.3). See Rule 22.2 (in Foursomes, either partner may act for the side and action by the partner is treated as action of the player); 23.5 (in Four-Ball, either partner may act for the side and action by the partner concerning the player’s ball or equipment is treated as action of the player). 13.2c Ball Resting Against Flagstick in Hole If a player’s ball comes to rest against the flagstick left in the hole: • If any part of the ball is in the hole below the surface of the putting green, the ball is treated as holed even if the entire ball is not below the surface. • If no part of the ball is in the hole below the surface of the putting green: » The ball is not holed and must be played as it lies. » If the flagstick is removed and the ball moves (whether it falls into the hole or moves away from the hole), there is no penalty and the ball must be replaced on the lip of the hole (see Rule 14.2). Penalty for Playing Ball from a Wrong Place in Breach of Rule 13.2c: General Penalty Under Rule 14.7a. In stroke play, the player is disqualified if they fail to hole out as required under Rule 3.3c.
