Bumper Golf? Flagstick Hack or Cheat: You Decide!

The rules of golf are quite detailed, but leave it to the ingenuity of man to try and find as many advantages as possible.

This submission comes from a golfer who posted a video of his playing partner on TikTok.

The golfer said that he was randomly paired with this stranger who had a unique (to say the least) putting style.

That’s right—it’s the flagstick assist.

While your initial instinct is probably to yell out, “Hey, you can’t do that,” you’ll probably have to use context here.

Is the player a beginner and just learning the ropes? Is he or she not taking his score too seriously? In that case, it might be something to just let slide, like how a novice might use bumpers while bowling.

But if it’s someone who takes their game seriously, otherwise, this is something to cry foul over. Besides, the player really should aim for the hole if they’re learning—and it doesn’t look like this player is doing that.

Either way, it’s a great story that this golfer will be able to tell, and thanks to social media, he can share it with all of us as well.
