Round for handicap shortened by weather

[Braivo]

Last night I declared I was playing a round for handicap purposes. I played holes 1 and 2 without issue. There was a backup on 3, so I bypassed the groups and skipped to 5 as I was a single and the course was clear from that point forward. Played 5 no problem. Then on 6 I hit my drive, couldn't find the ball, and on my way back to the tee to hit my 3rd shot the sirens went off for weather and my night was done. I am heading back out to the same course this evening with rain check in hand.

I have two questions:

1) For handicap rounds, can I skip holes like I did and come back to complete them at the end of the round? Would I be violating any rules by "jumping around" the course?

2) Secondly, how do I treat that shortened round for handicap purposes?  I was 3.5 holes in when the rain hit.  Do I just start over tonight and play a full round as if that one never happened? Do I play my round tonight leaving the scores for those 3 holes the same as yesterday, and teeing my 3rd shot on #6 as I was doing when the rain hit?

I am establishing an official handicap for the first time, I appreciate the help.

You must finish 7 holes for a 9 hole score. The remaining two holes are scored with par + HC.

You could play tonight like yesterday never happened.... practice. Or you could start at the point where you were when the sirens blew and finish the round from there.
