Ask Linda #463-Post regular or T-score?

Linda, our WGA (Women’s Golf Association) meets on Thursdays for play day. Our competitions include low gross, Pick A Partner, 2 Best Ball of 3, Even Holes 1/2 of handicap plus other games. My question is since these are organized competitions by our play day directors, should they be entered as tournament scores? We have Club Championship, President's Club, and ACES, which recognizes a winner for each month on a play day. Those three are entered as tournament scores. I have read the handicap manual and it states regular play days should not be recorded as tournament scores. Definition of a play day would be: 
a.  players go out on any given day and play a friendly round, or
b. organized play by play day committee. 

Thanks,
Lulu

Dear Lulu,

It is up to the Committee to decide whether a competition should be posted as a T-score (tournament score). T-scores are generally reserved for significant annual events, such as the Club Championship. Routine league play rounds, such as the competitions you mentioned (low gross, pick a partner, etc.), are not normally designated as T-scores.
