    Is there any way to get rid of the flagstick when you have a long putt or chip you feel confident in making and the stick foils you shot. I get really upset when that happens. Is there a trick to get rid of it BEFORE taking the shot?

    Top right corner of your screen... click on the little flag symbol.

    Like the previous poster said you can click on the flag symbol in the upper right hand corner to remove the flag stick. But if you are on the green putting ,the flag stick is not really in the hole. That is just an image so you can better line up longer putts when the hole might not be visible. If you are off the green and click on the symbol it will say flag stick removed, click it again and it will say flag stick replaced. But however if you are on the green and click on the symbol it will simply say flag stick hidden and click it again and it will say flag stick shown.

    THANK YOU !!!!!!

    I was feeling like I was the world champion at hitting the flagstick !  Can't tell you HOW many times I have hit the damn thing and had the ball bounce back off of it.  Last night I was playing at Royal St. Georges on a par 5 hole.  Second shot was 240 yards to the hole, FOR A DOUBLE EAGLE,  I made an absolutely perfect shot.  The ball rolled right up to the hole, hit the flag stick, and bounced back 6 inches.  You want to talk about heartbreaking.......The Double Eagle is the ONLY shot that I haven't made and I have now played 660 rounds.  I'm not saying that by removing the flagstick I still would have made it.  It could be I had a little too much speed on that shot but then again........So THANK YOU for the heads up.  From now on I am taking it out for those long shots!!!!

    Just bump this thread out.

    Try to remove the flagstick for a short approach but no "option".
    Try a couple of links and it seems to be a little issue, even from the fringe.

    Anyone got this problem to after this evening update?

    Got this.

    Take a middle range putt from fringe, hit the ding but while the meter was run I remebered to remove the flagstick. Putt was in his run and go to remove it, shame on me because maybe the caddie didn't do it in time.

    It was a nice putt on, not upset but why didn't WGT remove the flagstick in automatic way when we decide to putt from fringe or short fairways. This could be a great update, hope to see that coming in the next months.

    Salut,
