golf flag

Cup location indicator

A golf flag marks the location of the hole on a putting green, mounted on a thin pole called a flagstick or pin.

The flag makes the target visible from a distance, helping players aim approach shots.

Flags often indicate hole position through color coding—red for front, white for middle, blue for back.
