Foourputt - What if it gets stuck in the hole? Or the person tending doesn't move quickly enough? Does the person putting incur a penalty?

I'd say whoever struck the putt gets the penalty. The person tending the flag gets a dirty look from whoever is putting.

Smallie's right. That's why you should think twice about asking an opponent to tend the flag for you. It's also why, as Smallie earlier suggested, if you are tending the flag for someone else, you should pull it out of the base before your friend putts, just holding it upright in the cup, so you can lift it without anyone getting penalized.
