My hdcp is kept at a course I belong to in Maryland but I live in Pennsylvania. Maryland hdcp seaso starts March 15 while Pa starts April 1. If I play in Pa during the march15  thru April 1st do I need to enter those scores into my hdcp or do I wait to enter Pa scores until their official hdcp season starts and just enter my MD scores?

What matters is the golf season where you play, not at your home course.  Take it to the extreme, a player from Florida isn't required, actually not allowed, to post a score he shoots in January while on vacation in Maine.  If Maryland is doing things right, it will not allow you to enter scores played in PA prior to April 1.  Maryland uses GHIN, and GHIN should make sure that out-of-season scores are not entered.

it will not allow you to enter scores played

Hi Dave, if a user tries to post a score in regions which are closed, won't the software flag an error message?
I never to post during the closed season, but would imagine a user would not be able to post in regions
which are closed. 

I would think when a player selects a course to post a score and that course is located in a closed region,
then it should give an error message.
It most likely should if a user uses the website or Ghin App, IMO.

That's was my impression as well, and I just checked.  I tried to post a score for a random course in PA, and was told by GHIN I could not do it because handicap season had not started in PA.

I'm not sure about GHIN but I know for a certainty that TheGrint will allow that to happen.   Last year I posted 4 scores after October 31st because we had good weather and I did eventually get an email from GAM telling me I posted scores out of season.   They actually made corrections to TheGrint and changed my rounds to out of season.

Other flags the Ghin system will throw are "duplicate scores and score lower than normal"

I recall playing 36 a few years back and scored the same on both rounds.
I usually post my rounds immediately and when I tried to post the 2nd round, it threw the message

Quote

"This may be a duplicate Score" or something to that manner. Do you want to post this score?

And the one I really Luv is the message "This score is lower than normal, do you want to post this score" LOL
One time I accidently entered something like 48 and didn't realize my error.
Luckily I noticed it when the error message came up and made the correction.

    • I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%! @M2R, I've never heard of "Ask Golf Nut" but I'm dubious of his claims in the video and really, really dubious of what's on his site: "Why AskGolfNut Is the Most Trusted Data-Driven Golf Resource". Hmmmmmm.
    • Day 151 1-11 flow work today. I've been doing all pause work, so Inwanted to get some rhythm going. Recorded.
    • a) No b) This MLR says: I doubt the MLR is going to affect their weekly league games, in other words.
    • So the question was posed today by some of my friends.  Is a pitch mark the same as a divot?  I thought NO, but they argued if your ball lands in another player's divot (made by club during a swing) this was the same as a pitch mark, i.e. the ball mark made when the ball lands  
    • Original definition use to or still is how far offline you hit it. It might be better to think of it as consistency in retaining favorable launch conditions to optimize distance.   That heat map showed a gigantic 0-3% loss in ball speed. That is absurd. The true 100% sweet spot is tiny for all clubs. Good luck telling the difference if the sweet spot is under 3% in a sizable area. Especially considering variation in launch angle, spin, and outdoor weather.
