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

    • Thanks Bill, Really appreciate the tips! I'm hoping between side saddle putting and working on the Jim Venetos swing I'll drop some shots off my typically mid-90's score.
    • Thinking about seeing if our local course will make divot repair part of the annual youth camp….and I love @dennyjones comment to stick ‘em to the carts.   Sadly a lot of the older guys are not stable enough to bend down and make a good repair - so they just let them be or just do the putter tamp.  We also have one member who shuffles his way on and off the green - soft spike marks everywhere….
    • The lie is not really adjustable.  The PGA states that it must have at least 10 deg angle (not sure on the exact #) all of these putters came with the minimum allowable angle from vertical.  This is why the corners are beveled off.  The sole of the club is not intended to sit flat on the ground. Having said all this, the only way to change the angle is to bend the silver piece that the shaft is glued in to. In use: 1. Hold the putter with your top hand and let it dangle 2. the beveled edge will be the closest part to the ground 3. place bottom hand much like holding a pencil 4.  Club should swing forward and back freely but not hit your foot.  If it does then you need to move you top hand outward. 5. Do not manipulate the club path. straight forward and back 6. I keep my top hand tight on the putter.  My bottom hand twists the putter counter clockwise against my top hand.  This keeps the face from opening up. Good luck.  I have been using mine for close to 10 years.  I average 1.7 putts/hole (yes I have statistics on every hole I play) Bill
    • Day 29 (19 Feb 25) - Winter storm in place (here it's cold icy rain), inside day today - started with mirror work and 8i - working on weight shift sequence using shortened swing (backswing to P3) and coming through to P8.  Focused on sensing the shift to the lead foot as I get toward P3 and then coming through smoothly.  Followed up those series of rehearsals with some easy lag putts working to equalize backswing length with downswing finish to 3' - 5' - 8' distances.  
    • This is a long shot given how old this thread is, but I just picked up a Reeso VTX putter and I'm trying to adjust the lie, but it's not obvious how to do that. Aside from unscrewing the hosel from the putter head everything else looks fused together. Wondering if @PRWELLMAN @Yipper @discap have any info about adjusting the lie. Thanks for the help.
