flagstick

/flˈæɡstɪk/ noun

The pole which marks the location of a hole

Word Origin A flagstick is a stick with a flag on it, like in golf. Flag comes from Middle English 'flagge', possibly from Old Norse 'flaga' (stone slab) but shifted to cloth. Stick from Old English 'sticca' (peg, stick). The same 'stick' root gives us sticky, sticker, broomstick, candlestick. So flagstick is simply 'flag-stick'.

noun The pole which marks the location of a hole countable
