Another Flag Question

[KMP]

A couple of courses in my area have a nearly hole sized disc attached to the bottom of the flagstick. You pull the stick gently and the ball comes up for the ride. So yes; I do pull the stick to remove my ball. Just try to penalize me! ... And get off my lawn!

Man, I remember playing with my old man and because he used a blade-ish putter he would dip the toe of his putter into the hole and twirl it up to and then pull up to get the ball out. Half the time, he'd make a gauge 1/4 to 1/3 the circumference of the hole. I cringed the first two times I saw him do it. Then, I told him "I'll get the ball out for you." After that round I got him one of those do-hickeys to put on the end of his putter to pick the ball out of the hole. 

My father does the same thing and it drives me crazy! Plus he does it with my Scotty Cameron Newport 2 I let him borrow, that he now thinks he owns. Not only does it screw up the hole, my putter is a mess as well! I tried to get him one of those "do-hickeys" you mentioned but he refuses to use it. 🙄

Somebody gave me one of those thingies you attach to the putter end to pull the ball out of the hole. But, since I've got the Arrcos sender on the end of the putter, I can't use it.
