From the USGA on posted scores when playing preferred lies.

Section 7-2. Pitfalls in adopting preferred lies. Before a committee adopts the local rule permitting preferred lies and winter rules, the following facts should be considered.

(a) Such a local rule conflicts with the fundamental principle of playing the ball as it lies;

(b) Preferred lies is sometimes adopted under the guise of protecting the course when, in fact, the practical effect is just the opposite - it permits moving the ball to the best turf, from which divots are then to injure the course further;

(c) Preferred lies tends generally to lower scores and a handicap index, thus penalizing players in competition with player whose scores are made without preferred lies;

(d) Extended use or indiscriminate use of preferred lies will place players at a disadvantage when competing at a course where the ball must be played as it lies.
