Due to the collapse of the driving range fence onto the first fairway, hole #1 at Sea 'n Air has been shortened from a 500 yard par 5 (from the blue tees) to a 240 yard par 4. So how do you post a score?
Section 5-2g of the USGA handicap manual covers this:
http://www.usga.org/handicapping/handicap-manual.html#!rule-14379
According to the table, 260 yards equates to -1.4 on the course rating, and -3 for the slope. For men, from the blue tees, this is:
Rating = 70.6 - 1.4 = 69.2
Slope = 126 - 3 = 123
So if the course is playing 260 yards shorter than the rating, then you post manually, using these revised numbers.
