Understand that the ‘color’ of the tee does not mean a thing, only a means of separation. It’s the yardage that mostly creates the rating, with hazards & sand traps that separate the like distances. TV white tees are mostly 5500-5700 yards with ratings 65-66. The slope helps in the course handicap calculation. You will find most courses around here with the appropriate same yardage, have the same ratings. If you even par, you will earn an index of about 6.0 to 7.0. Unlike before WHS, your index gives you your ‘potential’, not your ‘expected’ score. Yes there are sand *******, but handicap committees are more prevalent and imposing. If you know a play who is not recording all his scores, or recording different scores from what was shot, you need to report that person (for the sake of other golfers) to one of the pros. They will then investigate and watch the recordings.
