Golf Shops

is there a rule about how far a flag placement should be from the edge of a golf green?

I work on a golf course and neither I , the golf shop or my supervisor knows the answer to this.We checked our rule book but didn’t find anything.

As far as I can tell, there are no illegal hole locations. However, if I were in your position, I would adopt some local rules which would be mandated and posted for everyone to see.

For example, here are some common sense rules that I think one should obey.

The hole should be at least a club (e.g., putter) length from the edge of the green.

The hole should never be placed on a mound, where the green drops off on all sides away from the hole.

The hole shouldn’t be placed in a low area where the ball will tend to roll into the hole from any direction.

etc.
