A golf flagstick device comprising a rigid support member combined with a plurality of jacks. The components are encapsulated by a material, such as a thermoplastic or thermosetting polymer, using an injection molding process. The jacks have one or more arms extending outward from a center portion. The arms are adapted to contact the inner wall of the mold's cavity to help hold the rigid support member in one place and away from the inner wall during the molding process. The flagstick includes a ferrule attached to a lower end which is adapted for placement into a putting cup and a tip fitting attached to an upper end which is adapted to be combined with a flag. The ferrule and/or tip fitting may be combined with the rigid support member before the injection molding process resulting in the ferrule and/or tip fitting being at least partially filled with and/or encapsulated by the material to help hold the components together without requiring a secondary attachment operation.
