Not for me, I've had folk claiming putts were in when they hit the flag at an angle and bounced well away from the hole. They were never going to drop. Some folk have convinced themselves that lip-outs only started when we were putting with the pins in. It's infuriating, but we've certainly been playing that it has to drop when playing our competitions. I don't see why each group can't have one player designated to take the flag out, and for them to be equipped with sanitiser or whatever is necessary, or just use a gloved hand.
