Do I add this Card
Played at Wychwood Park Saturday got a free round as a prospective member but due to the heavy frost and light scattering of snow about in the morning not all greens were open. I was looking forward to putting a round on here I've had an intensive course of lessons and been practicing 4-5 a week for a while now but due to work and the shocking weather have not played for a long time. I have vastly imporved since the last time I played and really want to get my handicapp down.
So what I want to know is do I add cards in my handicapp tracker when played on winter greens? Am I cheating the system as playing on the winter greens is much easier then playing on the real greens but I don't want to be classed as a bandit.

Gary, you would only be a bandit if you kept your handicap artificially high by NOT putting on your good rounds. If you scored well on Saturday the effect will be to bring your handicap down and make you less competitive against other golfers. So it's fine to put on the round.

Gary, I find that playing on temporary greens far more difficult than the real thing so by all means enter your score.
You will know what your genuine handicap is and that is all that matters.

I put all my scorecards on the scoretracker, whatever the course conditions.
