  1. Well, here's the other thing about that picture. Rules also state if it's resting against the pin you remove the flag and if it drops its holed. So there's that.

  2. Im leaving the ball there. When someone on the green wants me to pull the flag for their putt… boom dropped in

  3. Based on the rule, it doesnt look like the entire ball is below the hole. That said, that rule needs to be re-written to say if more than half the ball is below the surface of the putting green, then the ball is holed. To have a rule that says the full ball, by definition of being embedded, would indicate the ball would NEVER be fully be below the putting surface. Another bad rule that needs to be changed.
