How do you view temporary greens when it comes to scoring a round? Most temporary greens have a white circle around the flag stick, 10-20 foot radius. Whats the proper method, give yourself one or two putts once inside the circle?
Zeph
Depends on the green and how good of a putter you are. A 6 footer is never a gimmie in real play. Record your total amount of putts in the regular season and on temporary greens to see if they somewhat match up.
VMAN
At my old course it was a pretty small circle for the temp green, maybe 1o' radius or so. It was an automatic two putt, though you gave yourself to make a one putt. Didn't matter if you chipped to within 3' or closer. you get one chance and the next is a gimme.
Zeph
In your part of the world, that might work, but for us having a winter, we'd have to stop playing golf for at least 6 months.

Temporary greens is not golf. I will play golf under ANY circumstances except if there are temporary greens.
Zeph
Play is only stopped when snow or ice prevent play. Cold isn't an issue as long as play is not allowed when there is actual frost on the grass. When the proper care is taken, cold weather alone shouldn't prevent play on real greens.

Yeah, that's the issue here. We normally got frost or snow in 6 months. If the ground is not white, it's usually frozen. As far as the care of the greens go, they prefer having a thick layer of snow all winter. It helps isolate the greens and prevent frost damage. My home course's greens suffered some pretty bad frost damage last year.
