Does this shot count?

The group ahead didn’t put the flag back in the hole, and my ball hit the flagstick and went in. I aimed at it since it was there. Does this still count?

It counts. Even if the wind knocked over the flag and you hit it, it would still count. If you hit a rake in a bunker and it goes in, it counts too. Even if you hit a person or their gear and it goes in, it counts. Happened to Andrew Macgee on the PGA Tour once!

I saw a guy once have to hit his shot off a car windshield because a TV tower fell down in front of him!

Sounds like he should’ve just gone ahead like the guy who hit it off Frankenstein’s foot!

Wasn’t he in the parking lot after that?

You can bet on it.

Oh good, you can count!

Reminds me of a time my dad hit a hole-in-one. He skulled the shot, it hit a rake, rolled up a hill, and came back into the hole. He wasn’t sure if it counted, but we said yes!

They don’t draw pictures on the scorecard, it’s still a one!
