Ask Linda 1855-In-again-out-again flagstick

Linda,
The new rule is that the flag can stay in during putting. If I am putting and leave the flag in and the next person wants it out, what is the ruling?
Lulu from Massapequa, New York

Dear Lulu,

Each player has the choice whether to leave the flagstick in the hole, have it attended, or have it removed when it is her turn to putt. So if you putt first and want it in, leave it in. If the next person wants it out, take it out. And if the third player wants it attended, replace and attend. Let me know whether these new permissions save any time…
