Penalty for ball hitting flagstick

Larry's golf isn't pretty, but the one thing he can do is chip. The other day all in the foursome except for Larry were on the green. Larry was 30 yards off the green and 75 yards from the hole with a sloping break. His chip landed halfway between the fringe and the hole and rolled into the cup with the flagstick serving as a backstop. Scott said, "Nice putt Larry, too bad you didn't have someone tend the pin, that's going to cost you a two stroke penalty.
