Flagstick

By Brent Kelley, About.com

Definition: A flagstick is exactly that: a stick with a flag on it. You see them on greens to mark the location of the hole. Many courses will color code the flags on flagsticks to denote if the hole location is near the front, center or back of the green. Another way of doing the same thing is to put the flag high, middle or low on the stick.
Also Known As: Pin
