Flagstick In or Out? Here is a great video from Expert Golf that represents most of the data/analysis we could find on the inter webs There has been some debate as to whether leaving the flagstick in is beneficial or not... It would appear that the benefits of leaving it in outweigh the need to fiddle with it  The caveat to this theory is the golfer who can't seem to break with tradition and needs to have the stick pulled cause he saw it on TV As far as 'pace of play' is concerned it is definitely better to just leave it in and putt already If every other guy needs it pulled, we think the pace is worserer Anywho... chime in on this great debate and we will randomly draw one name for some comp golf for you and a friend   * * * * * Don't forget about this weeks' super special FREE FRIDAY dealio Just $40 PLUS... click the pic for your Free Friday Coupon along with our usual FREE FRIDAY offer,  you can play as much golf as you can fit in  fro...
