Rule 3.2a Handicapping for Holes Not Played

https://www.usga.org/handicapping/roh/Content/rules/3 2 When a Hole is not Played.htm

My home course, Musgrove Mill, was severely damaged by Hurricane Helene. Today they are opening the entire course for play with two changes. Two par 4s, 14 and 15, are being played as par 3s.
 

My understanding is I should enter my score for handicap purposes on a hole by hole basis and omit the score for these two. My friend thought we should enter and PCC would adjust. The rule seems clear to me, but perhaps it’s because I have no experience with such changes. Any experts out there that could confirm?

Your friend is not correct. They’re holes not played as they’re out of play. You can skip them or play to temporary greens just to hit a few more shots.

I agree with @iacas, you're doing it right, your friend is wrong.
