See Handicap Manual 5-2g. Posting a Score from an Unrated Set of Tees on a Rated Course

This wasn't an unrated set of tees.  This was "Temporary Tees".  It's covered in Handicap Manual Decisions 5.1a/3.  It's scored as a hole not played, par plus any handicapped strokes for the hole as mentioned above.

There were five temporary tees for the 18 holes. It looks like they may rotate this and do them all and it will take weeks. I can see why they're doing 5 at a time, that still leaves 13 holes with regular tees so one can post. Bummer as I play this course pretty much once or twice a week. My score went from 10 over to 12 over when I applied the rule from Decision 5.1a/3.  

The strangest one is where they just moved the tee area horizontally which maintained the same distance as the regular tee area but put the greenside bunker right in line with the flag.  I birdied it but per the temporary tee rule had to post as a par (the hole is the 18th handicap hole).

5.1a/3 is really dealing with a temp green when it mentions giving yourself par plus strokes.  As Asheville mentioned 5-2g is for an unrated tee, (temporary tee).  Just measure (estimate) distance from nearest rated tee, or where the old tee was, to where the temp tee is.  Then use the table.

I'm reading it as also applying to temporary tees, it specifically uses those words.  And because of that, the rules are making a distinction between temporary tees (decision 5-1a/3) and unrated tees (section 5-2g). Even though they only use the words temporary green in the answer, the title of the section specifies that the answer also applies to temporary tees.  imo

5-1a/3. Returning Scores for Handicap Purposes While Playing on Temporary Greens or Tees

Q: May a club accept scores for handicap purposes if temporary greens or tees are being used?

A: Yes. If the Rules of Golf can be followed during the reconstruction period, scores should be posted. The club must contact its authorized golf association for advice regarding its specific situation. If a temporary green (not an alternate permanent green) is played, the recommendation of the authorized golf association may be for the club to advise players to post par plus any handicap strokes the player is entitled to receive on that hole.

You are using the pronoun we...

The way @DaveP043 suggested or the way you suggested? 

There hasn't been consensus in this thread and decision 5-1a/3 seems very clear cut and specific to temporary tees but is in conflict with your determination to use 5-2g.  5-2g is about changing values to the appropriate gender when there isn't a rating for that gender at that tee area.  That is an unrated set of tees per the definition given at 5-2g.  That is different than a temporary tee area. imo

    • Yes, this is the 2024 model. DSG ruined what Callaway perfected for most golfers. A darn good 3 piece golf ball. Now it's a 2 piece cheap ball. To me a 2 piece ball is fine and a 3 piece budget ball is better. I prefer a slightly harder ball, something in the 65-75 compression range that will perform similar to the old Gamer. The Titleist tru-feel is pretty good. I planned on giving Maxfli straightfli a try.
    • Is that the current generation Gamer? Another old standby for a firm and inexpensive ball is Pinnacle.  There are two models, the Rush and the Soft, but I don’t know what compression they are.
    • Good advice, but according to DSG website it is a 45 compression ball. My current ball is the Top-flite Gamer at 70. 45 is too low for me to go.
    • The 3 piece Maxfli Trifli is 2 dozen for $35.  The Trifli does not feel as soft as the Maxfli Softfli, which is why I like it. Other options would be one of the Srixons, which have a buy 2 get 1 free offer.
    • I have been carrying a 7 wood more often this year.  It’s especially handy if you have a downhill lie to an uphill green.  It’s also handy if the rough on the course is deep.
