The key thing to ensure happens is that you physically remove the ball from the hole with your hand. If you flick the ball out with the flag, the ball is not deemed to have been holed, so you have to play the ball from where the ball finishes.

Putting and hitting the pin and penalty?

If you are on the green, and you are putting, if the pin is in the hole and you strike it with the ball, you receive a two shot penalty in stroke play or loss of hole in matchplay. You must also play the ball as it lies, so if the ball is holed, it is counted as holed (don't forget the penalty) If the pin is set at the side of the green and you hit it, the penalty is still the same.

There is no such rule to cover such an event. Just make sure there is no other ball in the hole, once someone has holed their shot, the ball should be removed before the next player plays.

If you are off the green, and your partner's ball is on the green, you pitch on and you hit theirs and yours goes in it is counted as holed and they must replace their ball to where it was before you hit it.

When players chip the ball in the cup or they get a hole in one why is it that they reach down into the cup to get the ball without taking the flag out is there a rule that says there is a penalty for?

It is a very strange rule, but, once the ball goes into the hole, it is deemed to be holed so the players pick it out. But, the reason they don't pull the flag out is because most pins have a ledge at the bottom where the ball touches, if they pull the flag out and the ball comes out, the ball is not holed, so they must putt it. There is no penalty, but they must play the ball where it lies. If you hit a shot, and the ball rests between the lip and the pin, it is not holed until it comes to rest at the bottom of the cup, therefore, either the player or someone nominated by the player (i.e caddy) may move the pin slightly, if the ball falls into the hole it is holed, if the ball comes out, it is not holed.

Say player A's ball is sitting on the green, if player B's ball hit's A's ball and A goes in the hole, it must be replaced to the original position. If B's ball goes in, it is classed as holed. This scenario applies on if B hits from off the green. If he is on the green and hits A's ball he receives a two shot penalty.
