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

    • If you still have that code available, I would love to get a copy. We have PowerShell code that pulls indexes and individual 9-hole handicaps for the tee sets of the course we play. We have 40 players and use this data for skins. We do skins by flight which we have 4 of them A,B,C,D and without pulling this data it would be almost impossible to do in the application. Right now, we also grab each "card" as it comes off the course and put it into a spreadsheet to help us understand who won the round and helps us with skins. Each golfer is required to enter their own scores in GHIN also. Our goal is to have each golfer enter in the scores in GHIN but pull the individual hole scores down each week after the round is posted so that we can figure skins, and points. I found a site for APIs, but it is old referencing https://api.ghin.com/api/v1. Our current code uses https://api2.ghin.com/api/v1. I tried using that along with what was provided in the old doc, but it appears many of the API signatures changed. I'm hoping I can use the python code to get examples of the API calls I need. if nothing else I could recode ours to use python.
    • This is pretty interesting. I don't have a Stack radar so I can't use the app, but given what they say it should be fairly easy to come up with some kind of proxy to it if I spend an hour with a trackman. Just note what ball speed gives what distances and plot it. It's presumably not directly linear, but if you hit 50 shots between 30 and 100 yards, you'll have enough to pin down most yardages in that window (yards vs ball speed). Then rather than trying to match distances, just try to match ball speeds with whatever radar you do have. The whole strokes gained thing would be more difficult, but that's not really necessary to work on it. Or just buy a Stack radar...
    • I don't think that is what the study was showing. It just showed that golfers who spent less time over the ball performed better. It didn't say pending their normal pace.
    • No…? When we edit the title of topics, a little note appears.
    • Rush or delay your own pace and you are probably going to suffer in the long run. PGA pro are well oiled machines that work on an specific pace, it's not surprise that if you move them out of their normal routine things are going to go sideways. I normally don't rush shots, but I sometimes delay the trigger if I'm not feeling it. The result is a lack of athleticism, I kind of get a little stiff and I could loose some yards and accuracy.
