Actually, under the World Handicap system that would be just about right. To have a 0.0 index, you need to be shooting approx. "par" from the tees that correspond to a theoretical course rating of 72, which is about the blacks. If you are shooting par from the whites, you are shooting 78-80 from the blacks and would have an index of 6-8. Makes sense since most of the white tee course ratings are 66-67 in TV.
