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.
I understand what you are saying, and guess that you are a low handicap golfer, if not a scratch. Do you think that you would score 64 to 66 regularly from the white tees, if you normally play the black?
That's six to eight birdies a round with no bogies, but also very good opportunities for an eagle or three.
