Can you take out the flag in Golf when your ball is not on the green?
No, you cannot take out the flag in golf when your ball is not on the green. Rule 13.2a (3) states that "the flagstick must be left in the hole at all times." There is no exception for when your ball is not on the green. If you remove the flagstick when your ball is not on the green, you will incur a one-stroke penalty.
This rule is in place to help protect the greens from damage. When the flagstick is in the hole, it helps to prevent the ball from leaving a mark on the green. If the flagstick is removed, the ball is more likely to leave a mark, which can damage the green.
