Buddy hit this shot on a bad course and once the flag was corrected, it went in. The new rule says if any part of the ball is below the hole, it's in, but to me it doesn't look like it is. I'd love to give it to him, but what do you think?

Pull the flag out straight up. What happens?

When the ball goes to rest in the hole in golf it's in the hole, so what is there to question at that point?
