Abstract
A golf flag (1) comprising a pole (2) comprising a first upper region with a first extremity to which a flag is attached and wherein a second lower extremity of the pole (2), consisting of a transparent part or section (3) will coincide with the zone of the pole (2) closest to a hole (4) of the Green in its position for use. Thanks to the invention, it is possible to reduce the “slow play effect” in golf by making it unnecessary to remove the flag when executing the putt.
