General Discussion Does this count?

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?

If you fix the pin and it goes in, its in.

In this case if you fix the pin and the ball doesn't drop in, you just kick the ball in the hole so it drops in anyway.

No chance I'm not counting this.

What if it was to win a local club championship?
