Rules of Golf discussions and meanings •

I'm not still really sure if they have this thought to the final at both sides of the big sea. USGA posted this out   as explanations for rule changes

4. Ball Played from Green Hits Unattended Flagstick in Hole
Current Rule: Under Rule 17-3, if a player makes a stroke on the putting green and the ball then hits the unattended flagstick that was left in the hole, the player gets the general penalty.
2019 Rule: Under Rule 13.2a(2):

•   There will no longer be a penalty if a ball played from the putting green hits a flagstick left in the hole.
•   Players will not be required to putt with the flagstick in the hole; rather, they will continue to have the choice to have it removed (which includes having someone attend the flagstick and remove it after the ball is played).

All those bolded words are very much in line with rules "root" where player has to decide before the stroke if the pin should be removed or not after ball leaves the club. 

I can't say anymore what is the real ruling with this or will be, but it doesn't seem to be really clear evento RB's.. let's wait what comes out when they get rules conferences running at both sides of the big water
