The golf flag is also called a pin or flag. The golf flag marks the hole on the golf green so that the player can recognize from a distance where the hole is located. The position of the golf flag on the green is changed at different intervals, depending on how busy the golf course is. The number of the respective golf hole can usually be seen on the flag in the upper area of the golf flag. According to the rules of golf, a golfer receives two penalty strokes if he hits the flagstick. However, only if the ball played was already on the green. Otherwise, the golfer receives no penalty. If the player's ball is on the green, he must decide whether the golf flag should be handled by a teammate or removed from the hole before the shot. If a player's ball is off the green, he also has the option of having the golf flag handled or removing it from the hole. The golf flag should always be placed in such a way that the green is not damaged and the golf flag itself cannot be hit.
