 If you play in mid winter, on some temp greens and off questionable tees AND play Texas scramble, would you post a score?

I post all my individual scores, official, matchplay and friendly.  This gives a true reflection of my game.  At my club, only the official scores count, but I think all scores, all courses should count.  Not everyone will agree, but I play rain, or shine and so that works for me.

In winter, especially this season, I am finding a lot of the men's yellow tees are at the same place as the ladies reds.  Score cards are not provided with the adjusted yardage or stroke indexes, but we aren't professionals, so it doesn't really matter (good job I'm not bothered guys :-).  So you would think the chaps would all be posting low scores, but we all know it's a game of shoulds and ifs and it's a social game and if it was being taken too seriously, we wouldn't be members of TSG.  Once the tees are back to where they should be, I might have a chance to win some of my money back ;-)

To clarify as Steve R says - you can't count Texas Scramble, as it's a team score, played from team lies.

You cannot possibly post a score from a Texas Scramble. It's not your score!

Weird - because Scrambles often produce par golf and that will only make their handicap plummet!

Me thinks Mr.Barber is being mischevious..... there's no way you can post a Texas scramble score!
