Dq played from wrong tees, can scores count in WHs

[bladeplayer]

Heres one for ye , strange happening

4 of us went to play an.open today, there was a problem with the sign in computer so lady signed us up manualy , we asked what tees in play we were told white , the notice board said white tees ,
Lady met us on way to 1st tee with sign in lables for our cards ,,
Two of the guys shot good scores , when we went to enter scores one of lads noticed when he typed in card number , it said Green tees , we asked in shop , it shoulda been green and we were all DQ , 3 groups at least , ,staff were very apologetic and refunded entry fee ,

Eventually my question , as we signed into a comp , therefore stating our intention for cards to be used for WHS before play , can cards be entetered manually for handicap purposes ?
Thanks in Advance

My opinion, from outside CONGU, would be yes - you registered and played from rated tees, scores should be acceptable for handicap purposes. I'm sure there will be other rules involved that I'm not aware of.

It meets the criteria to be an acceptable score in handicapping terms. It should be entered as a General Play score on the white course.

I would say yes, but given the way WHS works, you could be in line for a 3 month ban!

You have my sympathy - must be very frustrating.

I can't see how the scores can count though. You entered a comp, played the wrong course and got DQ'd. If as Colin says you should have a GP score for the whites you would have had to register to play this before play - which you didn't.

I guess the upside is you got a free round of golf as they refunded the entrance fees.

You did all that was needed for a legit WHS counting score, just not a valid competition entry.

You've misunderstood me. They were signed in for the competition: in what way does that not meet the requirement to pre-register a round?
The DQ was not for any of the reasons listed that make a score unacceptable.
The reason I said it should be entered as a GP score off the whites was to make sure that the differential was calculated for the course actually played.
