If a course switches to 13 hole comps during winter, can you still put a score in for WHS?

Yes. The minimum number of holes for an acceptable score is 10. [Rule 2.2a WHS Rules of Handicapping] The holes not played will be scored as net par +1 for the first one and net par for the remainder.
That is for an 18 hole score. However, 9 holes may be played for a 9 hole score, provided the 9 holes have a 9 hole rating.Yes. The minimum number of holes for an acceptable score is 10.

In addition, if at least 14 holes are played for an 18 hole score then the score is scaled up to 18 by adding net par to all the holes not played.
See 2.2b and 3.2
My reply was specific to the OP's question about a 13 hole round.
Bute here's an oddity. Rule 3.2 of the Rules of Handicapping on the Scottish Golf website does not say anything about a cut-off 14 hole cut-off. I've not noticed that before.

This is the England Rule 3.3....
A frightful and ambiguous expression.*I can't bring myself to use the more fashionable "I've reached out to"![]()
Can you give a reference to the source of the above, please?
ColinCan anyone point to a direct statement from EG that scores on a measured and rated course from a competition in which the stipulated round is fewer than 18 holes are not acceptable for handicapping because it is winter time? I'd be surprised and a bit dismayed if there is one but it would put me right.

I guess you were typing when I posted the last paragraph in #15. This was specifically approve by EG. They suggested it wasn't worth the County coming out just to rate the 'spare' temporary hole.
I wasn't involved. It seems our assistant manager was speaking to EG about something else and decided to check this.And now I'm puzzled as to why you needed approval of 17 hole scores. A hole out of play is even specified in the examples of valid reasons for not playing a hole.
Ruth hasn't got that role. Yorkshire has a separate Union and Association. Last time I spoke to Ruth she was the EG Regional Handicap Advisor.i also remember that Ruth Goodwin, Yorkshire Handicap Secretary
