2.    True. A term flagstick as used in the Rules includes the flag if one is attached. See Definition of Flagstick.

3.    False. Sand and loose soil are not loose impediments anywhere on the course. This does not include a mound built by a worm, insect or similar animal. Sand and loose soil on the Putting Green may be removed, See Definition of Loose Impediment.
