I had a thread on the Golf Talk page so I hate to repeat but it seemed more fitted to this page

2 questions:

1 - Played course where a par 5 was playing as a par 3 due to a flood. It had temporary tees about 120 out. There was no adjusted CR/Slope posted and after speaking with them they have none. How do I proceed? (option being considered to treat it like a hole that was skipped and take Net Par)

2. The option above leads to additional question. This course has 3 nines. Each has its holes handicapped 1-9. CR/Slope is listed for all 3 combinations but when played together, how do I know what holes are the 10-18 handicaps?

Thanks.

1) I would either score it as an unplayed hole as you describe, or play it out and score it as if it was a par 5. I.e., if you par it give yourself a 5, if you bogie give yourself a 6, etc.

2) Answered here: http://thesandtrap.com/t/60927/course-rating-question#post_751192

Hi Jason,

For GHIN posting you need to give yourself par plus any strokes allowed based on your handicap for the tees you played and the handicap of the hole.

There are rating/slope adjustments available based on reduction of yardages for a particular tee, but those would not be the most accurate way to handle a score posting in your particular case.

With your second question, if the hole in question was on the second nine that you played, change the odd handicaps to even using the same order of difficulty.

Regards,

John

    • Day 27 - 2026-01-16 Played 18 with some of the usual "too many voices" going on when I'm working on swing stuff. Fun to get out in great bay area winter weather.
    • I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.    
    • No one in the world is as smart as Phil thinks he is.
    • Get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you don’t like practicing then give up now. You don’t have the passion to become a pro. Unless that mentality changes you won’t do well under stressful situations.    Call the PGA Tour and ask. They probably have resources available.
